Hall, Vice Dean of the Law School from 1938 to 1959, has taught criminal law and agency at the University since 1932. In the spring of 1959, he served as Acting Dean of the Law School during the absence of Dean Erwin N. Griswold. He was recently elected president of the Massachusetts Bar Association, and has been Town Moderator of Concord since...

Whitney Griswold argued in a landmark statement that a professor must have both "integrity and independence" and the "affirmative obligation of being diligent and loyal in citizenship."
