 W. PAGE KEETON Dean Of The University Of Texas School Of Law Dean Keeton received his A.B. and LL.B. degrees from the University of Texas in 1931 and his S.J.D. from Harvard University in 1936. He has served as Assistant Professor of Law, 1932-1935; Associate Professor of Law, 1936-1939; and Assistant Dean, 1940-1942, at the University of Texas School of Law. Dean Keeton served as Chief Counsel, Petroleum Branch, Division Counsel, Fuel Division, and Price Executive of the Petroleum Branch of the O.P.A. from 1942-1945. Thereafter, he served as Dean of the University of Oklahoma School of Law from 1946-1949. He has been Dean at the University since 1949. Dean Keeton lectures Torts and conducts selected senior seminars. He has published numerous articles in many law reviews; is co-author of the Seavey, Keeton and Keeton Cases on Torts casebook; and edited Cases on Fraud and Mistake. During his tenure as Dean of the School of Law, improvement has been Dean Keeton's administrative touchstone. The physical plant, the faculty and staff, and the student body have grown without sacrificing standards of quality. Indeed, greater selectivity in admissions, stricter standards for appointment to the faculty, and improved teaching techniques and materials have become identified with the School’s growth. The improvement of the School, coupled with a growing emphasis on broader educational experiences and on more opportunities for participation in related programs, is preparing students for a more productive and rewarding role in the legal community. 12
