A small town product, Dean Bayless Manning prefers verbs to adjectives in both speech and ideas. He is brisk, lithe and effective, which explains, no doubt, why he is no longer in that small town. Born in Bristow, Oklahoma, Dean Manning took an economics degree at Yale at the age of twenty. He translated Japanese for the Signal Corps during World War Il. After the war Dean Manning edited the Yale Lawfournal and then clerked for Mr. Justice Reed. As a result of a telephone call, he says, Dean Manning left a six year Cleveland law practice in 1956 to teach at Yale Law School where he could get involved in municipal problems. After a stint as George Ball's assistant at the State Department, he took on the Deanship at Stanford in 1964. Before that Dean Manning had only glimpsed California. A mover behind the newly formed Urban Institute, a Rand-like think tank for the social sciences, Dean Manning seeks to foster social change with the same drive he brings to experimentation in legal education. Dean Manning often speaks of lawyers as the last of the 'eneralistsn-part philosopher, part manager-who shape institutions and programs to answer emerging needs. He is speaking of himself. BAYLESS A.

Born and raised in California, he received his B.S. in 1935 from the California Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. from Berkeley in 1937. He also holds an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Wesleyan University 09621 and an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Berkeley Cl963j.

He was assistant dean of Letters and Science during 1947-48 and dean of the College of Chemistry from 1951 until 1960. In 1961 he became the Presidentof Rice University. During his presidency, Rice experienced remarkable growth in the size of the faculty, in undergraduate and graduate enrollment, in the number of Ph.D.'s conferred, and in the number of honors received by graduating students. At Rice, as already at Stanford, President Pitzer has made a name for himself as a man who understands students and social needs. During his presidency new programs were introduced at Rice to create greater involvement between the university and the community, and in 1964 a long-standing ban on intergration was defeated by court order. At Stanford President Pitzer should be commended for, among other things, his handling of the complex and dangerous SRI and Encina crises. President Pitzer's list of memberships is long and prestigous and in part includes membership in the American Chemical Society, the Faraday Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Philosophical Society.
