The only member of the faculty to hold both a medical degree and a legal degree is Ralph Gampell. Born in England in 1916, Dr. Gampell received his education in medicine at the University of Manchester, taking an M.B., Ch.B. in 1940. For five years thereafter he was a medical officer with the Royal Air Force in China, Burma, and India. He practiced general medicine in England from 1946 to 1949, and in the United States beginning in 1949. He received an LL.B. from Stanford in 1957, and then maintained both a medical and legal practice until 1965. Since 1965 he has practiced only law, specializing in personal injury litigation. At Stanford he has been a part time lecturer on Medical-Legal Problems since 1958. A frequent contributor to medical journals until 1965, Dr. Gampell was a member of the Governor's Committee on Abortions, and with Professor Packer prepared the definitive study of the state of theraputic abortions. As for the value of having degrees in both fields he feels it is of assistance in personal injury work and in teaching, but aside from those two specialized areas totally valuelessf' Dr. Gampe1l's wife, Margaret, graduated from the Stanford Law School in 1968. The Gampells and their six children live in Los Altos Hills. RALPH J OCELYN GAMPELL Lecturer in Law

He was a visiting professor here at Stanford in 1967 and last year he joined the Stanford Law School faculty. He brings with him a highly impressive list of writings.
