Prof. Curr.ie

Professor Samuel Mermin pre-sented a paper and presided at around-table discussion at the WorldCongress on Legal and SocialPhilosophy in Brussels during Sep-tember, 1971. Attending the Con-gress were approximately 300 legalscholars and philosophers from allover the world. Relating to theCongress theme, which was LegalReasoning, Professor Mermin's pa-per dealt with Judicial Reasoning:Functionalism, Definition and Con-textual Ambiguity. The discussionover which he presided concernedthe Process of Justification of LegalDecisions. Most of the participants,according to Professor Mermin,were trained in the field of philos-ophy rather than law. "Getting tohear, and to talk to, leading juris-prudents of other countries abouttheir ideas and their current work,"he reports, "was immensely inter-esting and informative."

CAMPBEll RETIRES

Richard V. Campbell, "Mr.Automobile Accidents," a 40 yearveteran of the Law School Faculty,was granted Emeritus status at thelast meeting of the "old" Board ofRegents on Friday, October 8, 1971.

A Minnesota native, ProfessorCampbell joined the WisconsinFaculty in 1931 after completing hiswork for an SJD as a Sterling Fel-low at Yale. He received his BA andLLB degrees at the University ofMinnesota in 1926, a member ofPhi Beta Kappa and Coif. He spentseveral years in private practice inMinneapolis before going to Yale.

But his whole teaching careertook place at Wisconsin where,alumni will recall, he became oneof the nation's leading authoritieson the law of Torts, and a nation-ally known expert on automobileaccidents.

He is the Editor of a widely usedCasebook on Torts, and a Casebookon Automobile Accidents.

When the Gargoyle asked Profes-sor George H. Young, who was botha student and a colleague of Pro-fessor Campbell, to write a fewwords about him, he paid this trib-ute:

"All of my professional life hasbeen influenced by Richard Valen-tine (Dick) Campbell. He was myteacher, and later, my colleague inthe Law School for twenty years.Although I worked and talked hap-pily with him as a fellow law teach-er, it is as a student of his that Ireceived my deepest impressions. Ifirst experienced, and I use theword "experienced" advisedly, themind of Dick Campbell as a firstyear law student in 1938. The classwas Torts. The first few classes weremystifying, confusing and, althoughI didn't think so at the time, chal-lenging. I, along with other lawstudents of that era (I assume thesame is true today) were fond of en-gaging in lengthy discussions of themerits and demerits and idiosyncra-cies of our Professors. Dick Camp-bell was exciting. Many of us whohad achieved undergraduate recog-nition and even honors by beingable to disgorge in fairly intelligiblelanguage some basic but still reallyimprecisely defined general con-cepts were brought up short by therazor sharp analysis of the mind ofDick Campbell which always emer-ged after what sometimes seemedan eternity of questions met withquestions. He fenced with students,partly for the joy of fencing, whichis something a lawyer should learn,but primarily to ensure that thepointed rapier would be securelyembodied. In short, the man taughtus how to think. I had the greatestrespect and admiration for DickCampbell in 1938. As I got to knowhim even better as a co-worker, myadmiration and respect increased. Ileaned on him heavily as an ad-visor when I was Dean and I havealways been proud to think of himas a dear friend."
