DR. GARRARD GLENN Wicked vendorll has become an echo in Clark Hall, and the saying of it is hard to the heart. But as long as men come to this law school to study, that echo will survive. It has found lodging in the hearts of students and colleagues for two decades and its author will not be unknown to thosc who follow. How describe a great teacher so as to distill the essence for those who would find in him a guide to the achievement and happiness that was his? No self-priming ego was there, nor lack of directed talent. No aloofness of intellect there, nor descent to thc commonplace. No relin- quishing of dignity, nor pompous assertion. No confusion of simplicity, nor binding of reason- ing. No contempt for antiquity, nor neglect of the contemporary. No evasion of conviction, nor rigidity of conception. No rebuff for the plodding, nor tolerance of inertia. No attempt to bedcvil, nor failure to stimulate. No fixation for detail, nor slighting of essentials. No driving to learning, nor failure to lead. This was Garrard Glenn as a teacher, and his fame was not pro- vincial to this law school. But Mr. Glenn taught more than law. No great teacher can do less. The combination of unique mental capacity with sincere humility is as rare as it is necdful in men. It was his. None could doubt the manls humility, apparent both to listener and reader, even as none would deny his brilliance. His students were not passing faces before his rostrum, but co-ad- vcnturers in a delightful and stimulating venture in learning. He brought them with him from the classroom into his writing. The Preface to Fraudulent Conveyancex and Preferences, writ- ten nine years ago, concludes: llAnd finally, I can never close any work that I attempt without acknowledging my heartfelt gratitude, first to my own students, past and present, and then to those students in other schools whom I know through the editorial work which adorns their law reviews. Here, indeed, are my masters. Mr. Glenn has taken leave of us for the present, his work here closed, but for those whose faith in God and His Mercy-tempered justice, however differing in form of expression, is as simple and profound as was his, there is no sentimentality, no presumption, in believing that there is now available to us a great and sympathetic advocate to plead our cause before the Ultimate Tribunal. w-Virginia Law Weekly. 27
