On July 1, 1985, Paul R. Verkuil, '61, became the 25th President of the College of William and Mary. Two months later, Timothy J. Sullivan, '66, assumed the position of Dean of the Marshall-Wythe School of Law. As Verkuil pointed out in a recent interview, his return to William and Mary comes on the eve of the 25th an- niversary of his graduation from the College, where he was an English literature major, president of his fraternity, president of the Interfraternity Coun- cil, and a member of the Scabbard and Blade, the honorary society of the ROTC. Verkuil's journey of almost 25 years back to his alma mater as President first took him into the Army for a three-year tour at Fort Lee, Virginia, and then to law school at the University of Virginia, where he served as editor of the Vir- ginia Law Review, was an honor student, and a recipient of the DuPont Scholarship. After graduating in 1967, Verkuil returned to his home city of New York to practice law for three years, during which time he received an LL.M. in trade regulation from New York Uni- versity, an M.A. in political science and economics from the New School of So- Photo by C.

In 1978, Verkuil was named Dean of the Tulane Law School, and in 1983 he was named Joseph M. Jones Professor of Law.

His second book, The Whilton Dispute, 1264-1380: A Social-Legal Study of Dispute Settlement in Medieval England, was published in 1984 by Princeton University Press. His most recent work has been on the four- teenth amendment, the early history of the federal common law of crime, and the origins of property law in twelfth century England. He currently is working on a book on the Bill of Rights. Professor Palmer teaches both American and English legal history, as well as a course on the historical back- grounds of the Bill of Rights.

20 MARSHALL -WYTHE SCHOOL OF LAW "No school can be or remain great without the dependable support of an endowment fund. Even with adequate current funds, it would lack the future assurance and continuity of support which only an endowment can give. Our Law School has struggled under the need for such an endowment fund to provide established and dependable funds with which to provide supple- ments for obtaining and retaining superior faculty and students who would not otherwise be available from the much appreciated but limited funds provided by the Common- wealth. The Foundation provides such an endowment that will enable us to successfully compete with other top- rate law schools. Mark S.
