; who has not been contacted personally, or by letter, or. by telephone still has a chance to make a gift or pledge

to the Fund and have his name on the Honor Roll of i Contributors to be published next fall,

ij “I want to stress the ' importance of gifts to theDeans’ Donors Clubs”, Mr. Weisman said, ‘‘The four categories, honoring former deans of the Law School

-I are: Fletcher R. Andrews—$1,000; Evan H. Hopkins— $500; Walter T. Dunmore—$300, and Clarence M. Fin- frock—$100. Gifts at these levels from new donors will help us achieve the $150,000 goal.

‘‘It is most appropriate that I remind all alumni that I this is the 50th anniversary of Dean Andrews’ gradua-

tion from our Law School. Those alumni who wish to honor him may do so with a gift to the $1,000 Club or, if you have given to the Fund, by increasing your gift to that level.

“Younger alumni who are just starting out in prac­tice should consider their circumstances and give ac­cordingly. However, my appeal to all alumni is that I believe a gift ought to be made by anyone who earns his daily bread from his legal training, and the best way to do it is through the Law Annual Fund.”
