The University of Georgia School of Law clearly made a difference in the lives of these graduates, and they responded by Members of the 1998-99 Law School Association Council held their first meeting on the Friday of establishing and maintaining a history of Homecoming Weekend and discussed such substantive issues as admissions, fund raising, the ongoing service to the state of Georgia without par- law school selfstudy and alumni activities.

Lumpkin, born in Oglethorpe County in 1799, was a distinguished lawyer and statesman and a major figure in Georgia public affairs. He graduated from Princeton in 1819, then "read law" under the tutelage of a practicing attorney, as was the custom of the. day. Lumpkin was admitted to the Georgia bar in 1820. In 1824, he was elected to a two-year term in the Georgia legislature and in 1833, he helped frame the state penal code.

Don McNeill and Ruth A. Knox (J.D. '78)

College recruiting may assume a higher profile when linebackers and power forwards are involved, but battles also rage between law schools to enroll the very finest students. To that end, the law school received tremendous assistance this past year when Mrs. Ruth Hall Knox of Thomson and her children pledged $250,000 to create the Robert E. Knox Memorial Scholarship Fund. This new financial incentive will greatly aid the law school in bringing prospective students of the highest caliber to Athens.

The University of Georgia and the School of Law are key players in the story of Robert E. Knox, his immediate family and the extended Knox family. Mr. Knox, who died in 1994, was a 1938 law school graduate. Three of his four children: Bob, Jr., Andy and Mary received their undergraduate degrees Class of 1940 Class of 1943 3 27% $1,225.00 2 22% $250.00 from the University; and Bob, Jr. (J.D.'69) and Ruth (J.D.'78) received law degrees from UGA.

You'll note significant gifts to the T.M. Kirbo Chair and the J. Ralph Beaird Law Library Fund under "Endowed and Non-Endowed Funds" in this year's Annual Report (pg. 3). But don't look for gifts to these funds next year. Contributions will still be made; you'll just have to look under a different name to find them.

This past year, the trustees of the Thomas M. and Irene B. Kirbo Charitable Trust, under the leadership of Bruce Kirbo (J.D.'51), made a new pledge of $450,000 to the T.M. Kirbo Chair in International Law. The Kirbo Trust had previously given $1 million since the Kirbo Chair was created in 1985.

With the additional pledge, the Kirbo trustees asked the School of Law and UGA Foundation to rename the T.M. Kirbo Chair for the late Charles H. Kirbo (LL.B.'39), who with his brother Bruce was instrumental in establishing the Kirbo Chair.

From Charlie Wurst - Director of Development

After six years of these letters, what's left to say? I've procrastinated more than usual (is that possible?) in writing these final thoughts for the last page of our Annual Report. I can't think of anything new and exciting to write about ...

Well, there is someone new at the School of Law, and his arrival has created the excitement often generated by a change in command. By now, many of you have met Dean David Shipley, who has already traveled to over 15 cities and towns to introduce himself to you and to become more familiar with our great state. I had a super time as a member of his traveling party, much as I did when I made similar excursions upon Dean Spurgeon's arrival five years ago.

The difference: I was introducing myself then. My comfort level in helping Dean Shipley meet many of you reminded me of just how many wonderful people I've gotten to know in five years. At our Statesboro luncheon, Jimmy Franklin introduced me and said, "Charlie just wants your money." It's true. I do want the law school to have your money, but I sure have had a great time making so many friends in the process.

It is exciting to be able to report just over $2 million in new gifts and pledges to the School of Law in 1997-98, with a new high of almost $400,000 in Law School Fund gifts. Thank you for making these accomplishments possible with your generous contributions. Kudos to Dean Spurgeon, too, for leading the law school to several of the most outstanding fund-raising years in its history, especially in Law School Fund growth.

I suppose that success will exert some pressure on Dean Shipley and me as we encourage you to surpass last year's effort with your donations this year. I think Dean Shipley would agree that a record year in private giving would be the best "Welcome to UGA" present you could give him. I will recycle one line from last year's letter, a quote from University President Michael F.Adams, as a reminder: "There is no such thing as cheap excellence." Your gifts bring ever-increasing recognition to our law school as a center for excellence.

I do hope that as I solicit your support of the School of Law in 1998-99 that I experience a moment as personally satisfying as the one in Ethel and Verner Chaffin's horne last year. Mrs. Chaffin was giving me a substantial, five-figure check as the first payment on the Chaffin Professorship and she suddenly exclaimed, "This is so much fun!" To have a part in helping a dear lady achieve a long-time goal and enjoy it that much may be the high point of rny five years on this job.

It seems then, that plenty of things, both new and exciting, are happening at the School of Law as the result of the private financial support you're providing. And some things deserve repeating over and over and over again, even if you've written it for six letters in a row, like ...

Thanks.
