Baylor University School of Law reports that Angus McSwain, an emeritus faculty member who served as law school dean for 19 years (from 1965-84) passed away this weekend. He was 87. McSwain was surely one of the longest-serving law faculty members in America. He was a full-time member of the faculty from 1949 until his formal retirement in 1994, but he continued teaching until 2008 – for a total of 59 years in the classroom.
