I feel lucky to have a unique perspective on William & Mary. As a Muscarelle Museum of Art Foundation board member, an emeritus member of the William & Mary Law School Foundation board and a past president of the Alumni Association, I’ve seen first-hand the resources and commitment it takes to keep William & Mary on the leading edge of higher education — and how diligently the university puts our contributions to work. My late husband, Alvin ’70, J.D. ’72, would be happy to know that in addition to continuing our more than 40-year legacy of annual giving, I’ve included our alma mater in my estate plans.

  • Investors.Com Investors Business Daily
    The Colonel and Hug Steinberg, Steve Investors Business Daily By Michael Mink Media Mention October 6 , 2015 Rec’d: October 14, 2015 1 For Miller Huggins, the choice of a baseball career was a matter of listening to his heart. Oh, and future President William Howard Taft. Huggins was the first legendary manager of the New York Yankees, who'd had seven skippers in 10 years before his 1918 arrival. Owner Jacob Ruppert credited Huggins with building the first Yankees dynasty and laying the foundation for the others. Under Huggins' watch, Babe Ruth was acquired and flourished at the plate, and Lou Gehrig was signed and developed. Huggins led the Yankees to the first three of their 27 world titles. His resume earned him a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame. At the University of Cincinnati, Huggins captained the baseball team and attended their law school, where Taft was one of his professors. Huggins graduated in 1902, passed the bar, clerked and was at a crossroads. "You can become a pleader or a player — not both," Taft told Huggins. "Try baseball; you seem to like it better." Taft read Huggins correctly. Huggins' Keys Builder of the New York Yankees' first dynasty, winning three world titles. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1964. Overcame: Pressure to reach the top and stay there. Lesson: Don't wilt vs. challenges, embrace them. "Leadership means keeping the morale and spirit of the team at the right level. Sometimes overconfidence has to be toned down (or) the team must be lifted from a mental slump." "No suitor ever laid out as careful a plan to obtain his love as I.
