Running a national law school has become an increasingly complicated affair, according to Keeton. There was a time in the history of legal education when about all you were expected to do was to train students for admission to the bar. But society has become more and more complex. Law schools are expected to serve more functions than they once did. Such as? Of course, the first and most important function of any law school is to train students to become lawyers, he said, but there's more.” The law is changing so dramatically that the practicing bar looks to the school for continuing legal education. Further, legal educators have a responsibility to assist in law reform efforts and add to legal research for the benefit of bench and bar, according to the Dean. Finally, those of us in law school are in a position of being independent of any interest groups in society and I think we ought to be spokesmen for what we consider to be the essential characteristics of the free society. After all, the most complex and challenging task of mankind today is the ordering of human relations. That's infinitely more difficult, more complex and more controversial than technology. The law is the means by which we get order in society and those involved in the law have the primary responsibility in this area. I think this is why so many people are studying the law. They are perceptive enough to realize that the law is where the action is now. The more 1 learn about things, Keeton says, and the more I'm around my colleagues, the more I realize that no one person has access to the Truth; and that the law school has within its faculty, experts who are highly trained and very capable people but with different ideas and views. That creates a challenging intellectual atmosphere. I don't believe in selecting people because of the point of view they might have. It would be a dull place if everybody felt the same way. Although Keeton is leaving the deanship, he's not really leaving the law school. After a year's leave of absence, he'll be back in the classroom. New batches of first-year students will hear him growl out the finer points of tort law, will learn to appreciate his steady stream of pointed hypothetical and his rough and ready classroom style. Page Keeton's achievements as dean are manifest. There's no question that he's enjoyed it. But how about disappointments? Well, no, not really. I ought to be able to think of some major disappointments, but I really can't.

Along with admonitions and homilies he directs to each year's incoming class, Keeton suggests they Follow advice which he has taken to heart: work hard and have a good time. He has been arriving for work at 7:30 a.m. weekdays and coming in on Saturdays for the last ten years. He averaged ten hours a week for five years as chairman of the Penal Code Revision Committee. He served on the Texas Constitutional Revision Commission. He teaches fulltime. He really practices what he preaches, observed one of his first-year torts students. That's the way he runs his class. He works us hard, but we have a good time.
