Charlrs 3 It is with pleasure that we dedicate this HAWKEYE AKNUAL to our friend Dean Gregory. Yet it is a pleasure mingled with the sincerest regrets because this dedicatory article must of necessity be a farewell . This year Dean Gregory concludes his official relations with the Law College and the Univer- sity of Iowa, his resignation having been filed February 17, 1911 ; at the end of this year he retires from active teaching, and mil make his home in his native city, Madison. Wisconsin, where he grew up and received his education. Charles Noble Gregory was born at Unadilla, New York, August 27, 1851. When seven years of age he removed with his parents to Madison, Wisconsin. Here he graduated from the Wisconsin University, taking the honors of the Latin Salutatory in 1871. LL. B. 1872, A. M. 1874. In 1901 the honorary LL. D. was conferred upon him by his Alma Mater, the only other degree conferred at the time was that upon Senator La Follette against whom Mr. Gregory con- tended for forensic honors in their literary society at the University, when they wf re young men together. Leaving the University, he at once entered into law partnership, at Madison. with his father, and the late Hon. S. U. Pinney of the Supreme Court of Wis- consin, and Col. Bird. His keen intellect, tact, and foresight soon won for him an enviable recognition. He became an alderman and served in that capacity for three years. He was chairman of the Committee on Drainage when the first sewerage was adopted in that city. He was chairman on Waterworks when the waterworks system of Madison was completed; and also served on ther Board of Education. In 1894 Mr. Gregory was elected to associate deanship of the Law College of the Wisconsin University, and served for seven years, when in 1901 the Board of Regents of the Iowa University extended a call to him to become Dean of the College of Law at Iowa, which he accepted. What he has meant for the Law college and for the University, during his stay here, can scarcely be estimated in words. Wlien he came to Iowa the Law course was only two years ; the College was insufficiently and uncomfortably sheltered on the upper floor of the Old Capitol. During his administration a high standard has been set up; the course lengthened from two to three years, and the College moved into a beautiful and commodious home of its own. Wherever he has traveled, and he has traveled much both in this country and abroad. Mr. Gregory has reflected splendid credit upon this University. And when he was in foreign parts, receiving many honors and recognitions, it was always with pride that we said, He is from the Iowa University . It has been through his prominence that our Law College and University have gained a high reputation and been given recognition by National Associations where otherwise thev would never have been so favorably received.

How he has found time to participate in so many activities outside of those duties falling upon him as Dean and instructor amazes all. That he has bee ' n sought after so many times to give his assistance toward the organization of some association or institution; to tender his opinion upon important legal questions; to contribute countless communications for Law Journals and papers truthfully testifies to his wonderful ability as an organizer and the high repute and esteem in which he is held both in this country and abroad. In 1900 he served as chairman of the meeting at Saratoga at which the Association of American Schools was formed, and in 1908-09 as President of that Association, presiding at its meeting at Detroit. He has been active in the American Bar Association, serving as a Vice-President ; three terms on the Executive Committee, many times on the General Council, chairman of the Section on Legal Education in 1900 : he is now serving his fourth term as chairman of the Standing Committee on International Law, and has served for years as a member of the Standing Committee on Publications. He aided in founding the American Association of International Law, and has served as one of its Council ever since. He took part in the founding of the American Journal of International Law. and has been one of its editors since its beginning. He is a member of the International Law Association of London, and was elected a second time to its Council at the meeting in London last July. A Vice-presidency of this Asso- ciation was tendered him at its Conference at Antwerp in 1903. He was one of the speakers at the dinner given to this Association by the City of London last July. At this dinner, spoke the Lord Chief Justice of England and Lord Justice Kennedy who were the only two other speakers upon this occasion. During his stay, last summer, he was voted the privileges of the Athenaeum Club in London as a distinguished stranger. He is Membre Correspondent de L ' Institut de Droit Compare of Brussels, and the Royal Society of Arts of London. He has given many addresses before the bars of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Iowa, not to mention the scores of addresses before many of the Universities of this country. For a paper on International Law at the World ' s Fair at St. Louis, he was awarded a diploma and a medal by the Congress of Arts and Sciences. For years he has been a contributor to such publications as the Harvard Law Review, the Yale Law Journal, the American Journal of International Law ; the Law Quarterly and Review of London, the Law Magazine of London, the Juridicial Review of Edinburgh, and various; other European publications. That he has been a hard and consistent worker is evidenced by the fore- going facts, which, it may be said, are far from complete During his ten years of service he has never missed a class through illness, though many times he- carried on his class work when he should have been under the care of a physician. He has always exemplified what Mr. Roosevelt would call strenuosity . As an instructor his present students and hundreds of practicing lawyers- ' throughout the State and Nation have formed an estimate much nearer the- reality than this article has power to depict. As a man his unbounded courtesy and unfailing charity and sympathy have- endeared him to his students and his friends; to know him is to know a true friend. And the knowledge of his impending departure brings on a feeling; 10
