University of Texas. School of Law. University of Texas School of Law history files, 1889-1992, undated.

Title: University of Texas School of Law history files, 1889-1992, undated.

Consisting mainly of photocopies, the UT School of Law History Files bring together a wide range of documentation on the people, issues and events that shaped the Law School's history, from its founding in 1883 as one of the University's original departments, up to the 1980s. UT law professor Hans W. Baade compiled the files to write a history of the University of Texas School of Law. The first part of this history was published (Hans W. Baade, "The Law at Texas: The Roberts-Gould Era (1883-1893)," Southwestern Historical Quarterly 86 (Oct. 1982), 161-196), but the project was discontinued and the files were donated to the Tarlton Law Library in 1995. A large part of the collection is the speeches and annual reports of the Law School Deans, and their memoranda and correspondence on a variety of issues, such as funding, the growth of the school and the need for a new law building. Early budget and salary information is also present, as well as UT Board of Regents meeting minutes concerning the Law School and correspondence on controversial issues such as the firing of Law School faculty. Other topics documented include the Sweatt v. Painter case (1946-1949), which ended racial segregation in the University of Texas; the feud between Regent Frank Erwin and Law School Dean Page Keeton over the admission of out-of-state students and Erwin's attempts to fire outspoken law professors; early women law students; Law School traditions; and biographical materials on dozens of Law School faculty & alumni. Another significant part of the collection is from the papers of Leon Green, who had a 70-year intermittent affiliation with the Law School as a student (1907-1911), professor (1915-1918, 1921-1926, and 1947-1977), and close friend of Dean Charles T. McCormick.
