Professor Jacob Hyman (A.B. Harvard 1931, LL.B. 1934) was Dean of the
Law School, 1953-1964. He engaged in private law practice in New York City
(1934-1939), worked with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage Hour Division
(1939 to 1942), and in the Office of Price Administration (1942-1946). Hyman
joined the university's Law School in 1946 and was named Professor Emeritus in
1981. The University of Buffalo Law School Alumni Association sponsored a
luncheon in Professor Hyman's honor October 22, 1971, paying tribute to his
contribution during twenty-five years at the Law School. According to the
1970-1971 catalog, Hyman taught in the areas of Collective Bargaining, Law and
Medicine, Civil Procedure, and Constitutional Law.
This collection is an addition to the Jacob D. Hyman Papers, 1956-1971

legal documents, minutes, by-laws, newspaper clippings, and printed materials
pertaining to Hyman's activities with the Citizen's Council on Human Relations
and related civil rights activities in the Buffalo area (1948-1976), his work
with three committees at the State University of New York at Buffalo: the
Select Committee on Equal Opportunity (1968-1972), the Faculty Senate Executive
Committee (1978-1979), and the Committee to Evaluate the Director of the
Educational Opportunity Program (1979).
