The President's Message

This, the first issue of the Hastings Alumni Bulletin which has been published during my administration, affords me an opportunity to remind you of the Robert W. Harrison Professorship Fund. To all of you who have contributed, please accept the thanks of your officers, governors, and fellow alumni. Although our drive to collect $30,000 began more than a year ago, only 317 contributions have been made. Thanks largely to members of the Class of 1910, we have collected $17,714.14. That is almost 60% of our goal. Through the influence of Harold L. Levin, '10, one of the Trustees of the Estate of Walter V. Walsh, a badly needed check for $5,000 has been delivered to the College. A heretofore anonymous classmate of Mr. Levin, A. A. Tiscornia, '10, has donated a stock certificate worth $1,350. Without these two contributions, our drive would have fallen far short of the half-way mark. We should not be discouraged because 1,783 of the 2,100 alumni whose names appear on our mailing list have contributed nothing at all. This, no doubt, is because we of Hastings have never before undertaken a fund drive. It is a new experience and necessarily strange to many of us. In "Bob" Harrison, we have a man of whom we can be justly proud. He was an outstanding member of our Faculty from 1901 until 1947, when he retired from active duty at 75. This is our opportunity to honor a friend who has brought honor to our school and to us, its graduates. Only through the establishment of a professorship can the name of a former teacher be permanently attached to an educational institution. It is for this reason that the Stanford Law Society has collected more than $80,000 toward a Marion Rice Kirkwood Professorship, which is to cost a quarter of a million. I submit that "Bob" Harrison's record of 46 years of continuous service to the Hastings College of Law deserves to be recognized. We need $12,285.86 in additional contributions. If you have made none, I hope that you will make one now. If you already are a contributor, and can afford to give more, I urge you to do so. Again, please remember that in the 80-year history of the College, this is the only fund drive which ever has been undertaken at Hastings. We must and will succeed, with your help! Yours very sincerely, GERALD J. O'GARA, '26, President Board of Governors: HASTINGS GERALD J. O'GARA, '26, President HoN. OLIVER J. CARTER, '35, Vice President FRANK W.
