Abstract/Contents

Abstract: James Madison (1953 BS Civil Engineering; 1959 LLB, Law) shares memories of his time at Stanford in the 1950s. He describes growing up in Buffalo, New York, and San Diego, California, and shares memories of life on the Homefront during World War II. Turning to Stanford, Madison provides a sense of the athletics scene at the time and talks about the required curriculum and his favorite teachers, including Samson B. Knoll with whom he took an independent study. He also talks about serving as editor of the Stanford Daily, describes how the campus has physically changed over the years, and recalls his first year at the Stanford Law School.
