Abstract
WILLIAM REYNOLDS VANCE served on the faculties of four schools
of law, in addition to several others in which he taught during summer
sessions. In three of these four schools, he served as dean. My own
acquaintance and friendship with him, however, was restricted to the
years in which he served as professor of law at Yale. In 1910, it was
my privilege to have a part in calling him to Yale from the law school
of George Washington University; and it was after his arrival here that
I first met him. He had already become well known personally to the
legal profession, especially by reason of his service as secretary of the
Association of American Law Schools. We invited him to become a
member of the Yale faculty, however, because of his known success
as a teacher and legal writer.
