- Biographical or historical data
- DeWitt A. "Dutch" Higgs was born in Idaho in 1907, and moved to San Diego after his freshman year of college. He received an LL.B. at the Balboa Law College (now California Western School of Law) and was admitted to the California State Bar that same year (1934). In 1939, Higgs entered into a law practice partnership that gradually expanded and eventually became Higgs, Fletcher and Mack, and which, at the time of this interview, was the third largest law practice in San Diego. In 1966, he was appointed by Governor Edmund G. (Pat) Brown, Sr. to a full 16-year term on the University of California Board of Regents; he was the first full-term Regent ever appointed from the San Diego area. In that post, Higgs served two successive years as chair (1968-70); served as vice chair (1970-71 and 1974-75); chaired the Committee on Educational Policy (1975-78). He has been active in many San Diego-area organizations and a leader in bar associations at the local, state and national levels.
