Esther Rothstein
I am greatly saddened to report that Esther R. Rothstein '49 died on Thursday,
December 3. Ms. Rothstein was an effective champion of opportunities
for women in the legal profession, having founded the Women's Bar Association
of Illinois, and having served as President of the Chicago Bar Association.
She was a member of the law school Board of Overseers and the IIT Board
of Trustees. She was a great lady and a great lawyer. Private
funeral arrangements occurred on Friday, December 4. She was generous
to Chicago-Kent, and we expect to continue efforts begun before her death.
Soros Open Society Foundation Grant
Early this week, the Soros Open Society Foundation granted Chicago-Kent
approximately $76,000 to support its interprofessional "Operation Kosovo"
activities in Albania and the Kosovo region of Bosnia.
Alumnus Gift
I am delighted to report that alumnus Herb Roberts has made a major gift
to the law school for $200,000 to support a scholarship named in honor
of former Deans Fred Herzog and Bill Zacharias. At a luncheon on
December 1 commemorating the gift, Mr. Roberts spoke of his debt to Chicago-Kent
for preparing him for a highly successful career as a patent lawyer.
Dean Henry H. Perritt, Jr.
