Dean Keeton is also devoting his time as a professor in the law of Torts. He has watched the Law School grow until it has become one of the four largest law schools in the nation. However, through his diligence and erstwhile efforts, he has seen to it that this quantity was congealed with quality. The rising entrance requirements from year to year are indicative of this. He has been, and will continue to be, one of the leaders as Texas Law School grows. 7
