In the late 1930’s the requirements for applicants to practice before the Interstate Commerce Commission became standardized by examinations. Applicants were tested on their ability, knowledge of the history, law and procedure in the field of transportation, as well as experience. Tedrow responded to these changes by establishing a long range plan. He believed that a transportation library should be formed as a research center to help these students advance in their field. By 1943, Tedrow was teaching his first study group on Interstate Commerce Law and Procedure. Within a few years, he had written “Regulation of Transportation”. Shortly after his death in 1950, a group of former students and friends established the Joseph H. Tedrow Memorial Library Association in his honor.
