In his role as lecturer and reference librarian, Dr. Torzsay-Biber adds a distinctly European flavor to the faculty potpourri. Dr. Biber - his name has taken this shortened form among the members of the law school community - was born in 1909 in Hungary. He graduated from the University of Budapest in 1932, did graduate work at the University of Berlin, and received a doctorate in law from the University of Budapest in 1934. He was a member of the Hungarian Bar from 1934 to 1945 the jokingly claims that he took the Bar Exam only to stop his brother's accusations of his being a professional studentj. From 1945 to 1950 he was employed by the United States Military Government in Austria. Dr. Biber came to the United States in 1950 and served for a year as Secretary to Chief Justice Arnold of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. At the same time he was a special lecturer in international law and jurisprudence at the University of Oklahoma. From 1952 until he came to Stanford in 1960, he was a legal analyst with the Library of Congress. Despite the demands of his job, Dr. Biber always has time to help a student find a lost case or an elusive law review article. In addition to instructing first-year students in the art of legal research, he teaches a seminar in his favorite subject, Roman Law. Last year Dr. Biber became somewhat of a hero around the law school. First, he defeated Professor Gordon Scott in dramatic style in the final match of the Law School Tennis Tournament. Second, he outlasted each and every one of his students at the party he gave for his Roman Law seminar fEa1 Note: I can personally testify to this factj. And finally, he was elected by the third-year class as Commencement Speaker at graduation. GEORGE TORZSAY-BIBER Lecturer in Law
