FIRST STUDENT: How's that new guy in Federal Jurisdiction? Is the course any good? SECOND STUDENT: Oh, he's pretty young, but very enthusiastic about the course. He prepares his lectures carefully and teaches a tine class, which makes taking notes easy. FIRST STUDENT: Probably a beginner. He'll learn. What's his background? SECOND STUDENT: Bom in Chicago in 1943 - A.B. in Economics from North- western in 1964 - LL.B. from Chicago in 1967 - Editor on the Law Review - all the standard stuff. He taught at Texas Law School for two years. FIRST STUDENT: Oh, great, he probably walks around during football season muttering Hook 'em I-Iornsv and all that stuff. And Ihad my money on Notre Dame! But how can he teach if he doesn't have any experience? SECOND STUDENT: Well, he worked one summer for O'melveny and Myer and one summer he worked for the ACLU in Atlanta writing briefs for Howard Levy and Julian Bond. FIRST STUDENT: One of those bleeding-heart liberals, huh? Probably has no grasp of the real world! SECOND STUDENT: Actually, he seems pretty realistic about most things. And he satisfied Barbara in class once and you know how she likes hard facts. FIRST STUDENT: So a materialist in the rough! So why doesn't he iron his shirts, cut his hair, and drive a big car? SECOND STUDENT: He says he likes the life style. He just prefers the life of a teacher and is interested in the students. All that other crap like money doesn't seem to be that important. FIRST STUDENT: Alright, I'm sold. I'll take his course next year even if it means that I'll have to start going to class again. SECOND STUDENT: Sorry about that, but the faculty let Michigan Law School steal him even before we got him. But don't lose any sleep over it-it's so much more com- fortable around here when we don't feel interested in going to class. Care to shoot a round of golf this afternoon? wx ' ia E - Qfr ' FL?

WILLIAM F. BAXTER Professor of Law Professor Baxter is a native of New York City, but must be classified as a Californian by association. He took his A.B. at Stanford in 1951. For the study oflaw, he again chose Stanford, receiving his LL.B. in 1956 after serving as comments editor of the Stanford Law Review. He remained at the law school as an associate professor until 1958 when he took a position with Covington and Burling in Washington, D.C. He practiced in the Capitol for two years, returning to Stanford in 1960. During 1964-65, he was a visiting professor of law at Yale. No student who has encountered him need be reminded of Professor Baxter's keen mind and his thorough knowledge of the intricacies of Regulated Industries and Antitrust Law. In addition to these areas of special interest, he teaches with an equal degree of competence courses in Administrative Law, Federal Jurisdiction, and Legal Process. He has been engaged as consultant by various corporations and government agencies. In 1967-68 he conducted a special study of ways to minimize the social cost of airplane noise for the Federal Aviation Agency. In 1968-69 he was a member of the President's Task Force on Antitrust Policy. The Baxters have three children - two boys, 16 and 12, and a girl, 14. Mrs. Baxter enjoys painting and politics, she also is active in promotional efforts on behalf of the Stanford Repertory Theater. Professor Baxter admits to only two hobbies: Good bridge and mediocre golf. There are few reports about the latter, but interested observers report that his bridge is very good.
