Katherine and George Pardee demon- strated the depth of their commitment to USD with the largest single gift in the history of the Law School. "I respect and support the traditional values of the university and of its Law School," says George Pardee, university trustee and retired chairman of the board for Pardee Construction Com- pany. "I guess it goes back to my scout- ing days and the values of self-disci- pline, concern for others, strength of character and respect for tradition. That's why Kathy and I chose to support the university in this way - to help create a center of law excellence that will draw outstanding students to USD and, ultimately, outstanding leaders to San Diego." Leadership for the legal research center effort was in the talented hands of Josiah L. Neeper, attorney to the board of trustees, USD adjunct law pro- fessor and one of San Diego's most respected attorneys. Neeper praised his colleagues on the board as well as Law School faculty and staff for their sup- port. He singled out Professor Grant Morris, who played a significant role during his term as acting dean, as well as Law School Deans Sheldon Krantz and Kristine Strachan, under whose tenures the campaign began and ended, respec- tively. Ass isting the beginning and end of the center's campaign were two significant foundation gi&s: a $750,000 matching

The USD School of Law is a leading center of legal education in Southern California. Its faculty members have earned national and international repu- tations and, with its ability to attract high-caliber students, the Law School is fast becoming one of the most selective in the nation . Clearly, a state-of-the-art center for study and research is crucial if USD is to be a force in training the country's future leaders in the legal pro- fession. To that end, expansion and renovation of the outdated law library became the cornerstone academic con- struction project of the "Education for a New Age" campaign. With the completion of the $6.1 million Katherine M. and George M. Pardee Jr. Legal Research Center, which was dedicated in September 1990, the law library was propelled into the ranks of the 25 leading academic law libraries in the nation.
