Dear Robert,

Thirty-two

Thirty-two. It’s –

The number of U.S. Rhodes Scholars named each year. (Right, Georgie and Kenji?)

The number of “footsteps leading to the room where the paint doesn’t want to dry,” according to Mike Scodro’s favorite band in 1985

The average number of daily references by Guido Calabresi to “Justice Black, for whom I clerked …”

A modest goal for the number of federal judges, law school deans, and managing partners that our class should produce over our lifetimes. (Jeremy, does the class secretary keep the tally?)

Thirty-two is also the percentage of our class that made a contribution to the Yale Law School Fund this past year. One could quibble over whether that’s a good percentage or not. But who’s going to argue with the idea that the world would be a better place if we had more Rhodes Scholars like Georgie and Kenji, more They Must Be Giants songs, more Guido Calabresi stories, more judges and deans and managing partners from YLS ’96, and … a higher percentage of giving to the Yale Law School Fund by our class?

Of course, many of you are already doing your part to make the world a better place by raising or mentoring future Rhodes Scholars and best-selling lyricists, which may not leave you with much time to think about the Yale Law School Fund. But we’re guessing that you want them to have the option of attending a Yale Law School that’s even stronger than when we went there. So take a minute to send in a gift.

The 2013-2014 fiscal year will conclude on June 30, so now’s the time to make your gift by visiting https://secure.law.yale.edu/giving/. Your gift, at any level, will boost our class participation rate and continue the tradition of broad alumni support that Yale Law School is famous for. Thanks for your support for the school!

Best regards,

Allegra J. Lawrence-Hardy ’96         J. Welby Leaman ’96
