Landis Appointed
Harvard Law Dean
HEN Edwin C. Hill was born in Aurora, Ind.,
52 years ago, for some reason or other he was
named Edwin Conger. He left Indiana University
without taking a degree, yet he speaks of having done
post graduate work at Butler (Indianapolis). He
emerged from higher education a Sigma Chi. In
1904 he went to work for the New York Sun. For
twenty years he served that paper, in America and
as a globe-trotter.
Ed Hill deserted newspaper work to edit Fox news-
reels, but the Sun wooed
him back in 1927. In 1932
radio was looking for news-
papermen who had firm,
friendly voices in addition
to rich experience in re-
porting, in travel, and in
simplifying world events.
They found Edwin C. Hill,
who sought no radio news
scoops but brought to his
audiences the "human side
of the news." For a long
time his voice boomed out
for Hearts's newsreel. Just
as Hearst took his name from Hearst Metrotone news,
Mr. Hill voluntarily left the employ of the Lord of
San Simeon and his pictures of Pacific battle fleets.
Edwin C. Hill is now heard weekly over the radio in
"Behind the Headlines."
J AMES M. LANDIS, brilliant Roosevelt "brain
truster" and chairman of the New Deal's Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission, will return to Har-
vard next September to become the new "boss" of
many of the teachers that started him on his successful
law career. Three weeks ago Harvard's Pres. James
Bryant Conant announced that Mr. Landis had ac-
cepted the appointment as dean of the Crimson's
famed law school to succeed equally famed Roscoe
Pound.-
No newcomer to the
teaching business, Mr.
Landis was made a full
professor of law at Harvard
in 1928 at the age of 29.
Previous to that he had
been the law clerk , of
Supreme Court Justice
Louis Brandeis. Always
a scholastic leader, Landis
headed his class when he
was graduated from Prince
ton in 192 and when he
was graduated from Har-
vard law school three
years later
Until he assumes his new deanship next Sep-
tember s, Landis will continue to rule the commis
sion that he helped create when he assisted in draft-
ing the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934-but he rules it with a hand
that Wall Street tycoons acclaim as both fair and
conservative.
