Eternal God, Lord of life and death, . . . we confess that we do not fully comprehendg. . . that as it seems to our human understanding, this life was absurdly foreshortened. But remembering Barbara now, we acknowledge thy great goodness in the given life .... We thank thee for the gift to us of her life, for our own hours and days which she touched and made brighter for us. For her whom thou has taken from us, . . . we give thanks .... Barbara, little Barbara, the Lord bless you and keep youg. . . the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. B. Davie Napier Service for Barbara Bisbee Mitchell November 7, 1969

RICHARD CLARK ABBOTT Richard C. C'Doc,'j Abbott died today of wounds received when an aerosol can of preheated shaving cream allegedly exploded in his face. Born in Mexico City, Dr. Abbott attended St. Grottlesex and Yale University, Where he was Phi Beta Kappa and a member of Skull and Bones. After two years in .England as a Rhodes Scholar, Dr. Abbott enrolled in Stanford's famous Law-Business-Animal Husbandry combined program. Drafted by the Baltimore Colts after a particularly impressive rugby season, Doc is credited with having singlehandedly returned the drop-kick to a position of prominence in the N.F.L. Upon an early retirement due to the revelation of his previous affiliation with the Crothers Pub, he joined the Wall Street investment banking firm of Crosby, Stills, Nash 85 Young, where he acquired inside information. A prolific writer during mating season, Dr. Abbott's classic work on Marsupial Reproduction is still in use in high schools throughout the nation. He is survived by his wife, the former Eleanor Rigby, a debatable number of children, and by most of North Dakota. JOSEPH J. ADAMS, JR. Born in New York, Joe did his undergraduate study at Brown University, where he received his A.B. in political science in 1967. On the strength of his college thesis on the Civil Aeronautics Board and of his general interest in society's transportation problems, Joe received a Bay Area Bridge Authority scholarship to Stanford Law School. Under this scholarship Joe has been required to make numerous trips across the San Mateo and Dumbarton Bridges to study their efficiency, this job being burdensome because the nearest place to make a convenient U-turn is at the Mills College turn-off on Interstate 580. Such duties have not bothered Joe greatly during three years at Stanford because this research fits in well with his major law school interests. Haight ww A small town product, I prefer verbs to adjectives in both speech and ideas. I am brisk, lithe and effective, which explains, no doubt, why I am no longer in that small town. Born in Bristow, Oklahoma, I took an economics degree at Yale at the age of twenty. I translated Chinese for the Signal Corps during the quest for peace in Viet-nam. After serving the country I love so dearly, I enrolled at Stanford Law School intending to clerk for Justice Fortas upon my graduation. While in law school I distinguished myself. Expecting to enter private practice in Cleveland, I have not dismissed the possibility of receiving a telephone call from Yale or the State Department. A mover behind the newly formed Urban Institute, A Rand-like think tank for the social sciences, I seek to foster social change with the same drive I bring to experimentation, through lack of preparation, in legal education. I often speak of lawyers as the last of the generalists - part philosopher, part manager - who shape institutions and programs to answer emerging needs. I am speaking of myself.
