Historical Background

W. Page Keeton graduated from The University of Texas Law School in 1931 and joined the UT law faculty the following year at the age of 23. He earned a Doctor of Juridical Science degree from Harvard in 1936. During World War II he served in Washington, D.C. as legal counsel in the Office of Price Administration and the Petroleum Administration for War. Following the War, Keeton served as law school dean at the University of Oklahoma (1946-1949) before coming back to the UT Law School as dean. During his 25-year deanship (1949-1974), Keeton established the Law School Foundation and a large endowment to support the school, recruited an nationally-recognized faculty, and earned a reputation as a champion of academic freedom against attacks from the bar, conservative alumni, and the UT Board of Regents, particularly its chairman Frank Erwin. He continued to teach and publish during his deanship and until his retirement in 1995 (part-time from 1979). As one of the nation's foremost authorities on the law of torts, particularly in the field of products liability, he co-authored several leading casebooks and helped litigate several cases as a private attorney. During Keeton's 1961 term as president of the Association of American Law Schools, the organization hired its first permanent staff and took a more active role in improving legal education. He served on several statewide and national commissions, and was also active in civic affairs and the Methodist Church.
