He attained a remarkable scholastic record at Johns Hopkins, from which he was graduated at the age of 19. From Hopkins Dickinson went to the newly established graduate college at Princeton, where he devoted himself to the study of history, political science and jurisprudence. In 1915 he received his A.M. degree for work in the legal and ethical aspects of industrial and social legislation, and he was awarded the Macdonald Fellowship for 1915-16, and a Procter Fellowship for 1916-17. War interrupted his studies for two years, during which time he served successively as an economist on the War Trade Board and as a First Lieutenant attached to the Army General Staff in Washington. In 1918-19 he taught American and mediaeval history at Amherst College, but returned to Princeton in time to complete his dissertation on "The Meaning of Democracy" and receive the Ph.D. degree in June, 1919. By that time he had decided that he wanted the formal training of the law, and accordingly enrolled at the Harvard Law School in the autumn of 1919. He completed the three-year course at Harvard in two years and received the LL.B. degree in June, 1921, and upon graduation he began the practice of law with the firm of McAdoo, Cotton & Franklin in New York. In the following year he moved out to Los Angeles at the invitation of William G. McAdoo, whose law partner he became and whose candidacy for the presidential nomination he actively supported in 1924.) - https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=7911&context=penn_law_review found: University of Pennsylvania Law Review, viewed Aug. 25, 2022:John Dickinson 1894-1952 (In 1925 he returned to the East .to accept an appointment as Lecturer in the Department of Government at Harvard, and for two years taught classes and participated in tutorial conference work both there and at Radcliffe.

In 1929, Dickinson accepted Pennsylvania's offer, and held the position of Professor of Law from 1929 until his resignation in 1948. Soon after Dickinson entered upon his professorship, he began to engage in a number of non-academic activities which were to continue for the entire period of his teaching. The first of these activities was legal practice. The second phase of Dickinson's non-academic activities was in government service.) - https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=7911&context=penn_law_review found: Statesman's book of John of Salisbury, 1927(1963):t.p.
