handle is hein.journals/fedpro4 and id is 82 raw text is: FEDERAL PROBATION -Harris & Ewing HENRY P. CHANDLER Director, Administrative Office of the United States Courts O N November 22, 1939, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes announced the appointment of Henry P. Chandler, of Chicago, as director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. Mr. Chandler, at the time of his appoint- ment, was a member of the law firm of Tolman and Chandler, engaging in general practice with particular attention to the law of municipal cor- porations and public improvements. He was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 1906, and since has practiced law in Chicago until the time of his present appointment. A native of Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, Mr. Chandler spent part of his youth in Califor- nia. He was educated at Leland Stanford, jr., University, Harvard University, and the Uni- of Chicago. He received his baccalaureate degree from Harvard University Class of 1901, and in 1906 won his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the University of Chicago Law School. While a student at the University he was an instructor in English, and also served for a time as secretary to the distinguished founder and first president of the University of Chicago, William Rainey Harper, and also President Harper's successor, Harry Pratt Judson. The Chicago Bar Association honored Mr. Chandler by electing him as its president from 1938 to 1939. During the same period he was chairman of the Municipal Law Section of the American Bar Association. From 1934 to 1938 he served as special master in chancery in various cases by appointment of the United -States District Court for Northern Illinois. For many years Mr. Chandler has been an outstanding leader in Chicago civic affairs. Be- cause of his special interest in the court's re- sponsibility for the administration of probation, Mr. Chandler was appointed by Judge Mary M. Bartelme of the Chicago Juvenile Court, to serve as a member of a citizens committee to select on a merit basis the chief probation of- ficer for that Court. Ife is past-president of the Civil Service Association of Chicago. For a period of four years, by appointment of the Governor of Illinois, Mr. Chandler was chairman of the Committee on Child Welfare Legislation which made comprehensive studies of the chil- dren's laws in Illinois, and offered recommenda- tions for their improvement. Mr. Chandler also has served as a member of the executive com- mittees of the Chicago Recreation Commission and the Chicago Housing Projects under the Public Works Administration. He has been an active member of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago, having served as a member of the Board of Managers, and a mem- ber of the Committee of Management of the Hyde Park Department YMCA. Mr. Chandler's complete training, his long and varied experience and accomplishments in the field of law, his deep concern for civic and public welfare problems, and his interest in the administration of law and its social implica- tions, equip him admirably to take over the highly important duties committed to him as director. The United States Probation System is indeed fortunate to have in its service a man of Mr. Chandler's fine qualities and point of view. May, 1940
