NAPOLEON LAJOIE, BREACH OF CONTRACT AND THE GREAT BASEBALL WAR C. Paul Rogers III* 0 say Joe McKnight is the SMU law school is not much of an over- Tstatement. Forty-six years at an institution leads to such character- izations. Joe joined the SMU law faculty in 1955, when I was seven years old, and he has been here ever since, contributing mightily to the legal education of most living SMU law graduates. I personally have had the good fortune to be Joe's colleague and friend for the last 21, years but I have to say that I have always been in awe of Joe because of his accomplishments and stature in both the academic and practicing legal communities. This was particularly so when I was named the law school's dean and was thus to administer to a faculty which included the likes of Joe McKnight, Alan Bromberg and Bill Dorsaneo.
