O' 10 EDWARD WELDON BAILEY A law school gains its reputation mainly through its faculty, and Professor Edward Weldon Bailey adds great stature to The University of Texas Law School. The class of 1957 proudly dedicates this issue of the Peregrinus to Professor Bailey, distinguished scholar, excellent teacher and outstanding expert on Corporation Law. Professor Bailey received his B.A. degree from The University of Texas in 1920. his LL.B. from Texas in 1928, and his S.J.D. from Harvard in 1942. During his career as a law student he received many honors, including Order of the Coif and Chancellors. After entering the legal profession in 1928 Mr. Bailey practiced with the firm of Callaway and Reed in Dallas tor two years. He then joined the faculty of the Law School in 1930 and has been Professor of Law since 1936. One of Mr. Bailee’s greatest contributions to Texas law has been culminated in recent years. This was the major part he had in drafting the new Corporation Code, lie served continuously for more than five years on the Texas State Bar Committee on Revision of the Corporation Laws. It hits been said that he knew as much as any living person about the contents of the Corporation Code when it was enacted. Our main reason for dedicating this book to Professor Bailey is in tribute to his service to the Law School and genuine interest in his students. In the classroom, we rate him tops for his detailed class preparation and lucid explanation of assigned material.
