"So much depends on the quality of a university's faculty - its reputation for teaching excellence, program strength, scholarly achievement," explains Joanne C. Warren, trustee and campaign chair- man. "By rewarding the superior talent already in place and recruiting top new faculty members, we are laying a solid foundation of academic excellence on which to build the future." A second major gift to faculty endow- ment also benefits the univers ity's Law School and, ultimately, society. A gift from Sol and Helen Price established a chair in public interest law. Its first recipient: Professor Robert C. Fellmeth. The Price gif-t also ensures the perma- nence of the Center for Public Interest Law, founded by Fellmeth in 1980 to train students in public interest law practice and to serve as a public monitor of the state's regulatory agencies and related institutions . "I believe in asking questions that chal- lenge the system, whether it be govern- ment, business or life itself," says Sol Price. "Unfortunately, most of us do not have the resources or knowledge to pursue the establishment. We need an independent agency like the Center for Public Interest Law to be a watchdog as well as a beacon for bright, talented students committed to representing the underprivileged and underserved." Additional signiiicant gifts bring USD closer to its goal of creating endowed chairs in each of the university's five

F ACULT Y ENDOWMENT

The lifeblood of any university is its faculty - men and women who touch the spirit, not just the intellect, and who inspire young people with lessons that are relevant not only in the workplace but also in the community. For more than 40 years, USD's out- standing faculty has been the hallmark of an educational process that blends effective teaching with indiv1dualized attention. As the university moves toward the next plateau of excellence, it must dramatically enrich the academic and teaching enV1ronment so that pro- cess can continue. Thus, it is only fitting that faculty endowment received one of the most s ignificant gifts of the "Education for a New Age" campaign . That it came from Joanne and Frank Warren is V1sible testimony of how well they understand USD's needs. Their gif-t enhances devel- opment of the law faculty and supports much-needed law student scholarships. In honor of their foresight and generos- ity, the building that houses the School of Law now bears the name Warren Hall.
