Ex-Law Dean Helps U.S.-Iran Amiability
The former dean of the School of Law helped further relations between the United States and Iran last year by teaching law to Iranian graduate students.
Frederick J. Moreau, professor of law, and his wife and two children spent nearly a year in Iran, arriving in August, 1957.
"The strategic location of Iran between the Persian Gulf and the oil of the Mid-East is the real reason we need amicable relations with Iran, Prof. Moreau said.
"In connection with Anglo-American law which I taught, it is always a problem to get a reception on this issue. Forty years ago, Iran decided to modernize its law and adopted the code of law of France," he said.
He added the Iranians look to France for guidance and many of the law professors are educated in France and Switzerland. This is the reason he lectured in French.
"The Iranians' approach to law is fundamentally different from ours," Prof. Moreau said. "Their law is handed down from the law-givers but ours is constantly developing."
Prof. Moreau's work in various sections of Iran was to explain how the United States governs itself. Prof. Moreau was a Smith-Mundt grantee sent by the U.S. State Department to the University of Tehran.
He lectured on Anglo-American law to graduate students working toward doctorates.
The Moreaus went by ship to Naples, Italy and traveled through Greece and Eygpt to Beirut, Lebanon.
From Beirut, they flew to Tehran, where they lived in an apartment within sight of the American Embassy.
Prof. Moreau lectured at all the larger cities in Iran. One city in which he spoke, Meshed, is located just 25 miles from the Soviet border.
The Moreauis found that travel in Iran is mainly by donkey or camel. The country is mountainous and semi-arid, except the Caspian Sea area, which Mrs. Moreau describes as being "like the tropes."
Life outside the urban areas is much as it was in Biblical times. Clans of tribesmen migrate from the plains to the mountains.
Even in Tehran, there is only one large market to care for shopping needs, Prof Moreau said. Hundreds of booths for the various merchants are built into one large old building.
Prof. Moreau said Iranians are not to be confused with Arabs.

"The only category in which they are the same is in religion. Both are Moslem, but the Iranians are Aryans, not Arabs," he said.

The Morcaul's found that the Persian culture in Iran is deep-seated. Iranians are noted for their rugweaving and other artistic work.
