Ill MEMIIIIIAM For the first time since its founding twenty-one years ago, the Law School opened without Dean Weir. His untimely death removed from the University a pro- fessor whose knowledge of his chosen field was a source of repeated wonder even to those of us who knew him most intimately and had come, in a sense, to take his pro- found knowledge for granted. Above and beyond his learning he possessed to a high degree the art of teaching, so that always his students were led to make their own discoveries. Although the University has suffered a serious loss, nothing can ever take away from it his years of devoted service. No more unassuming man ever lived. His life was his family, his professional associates-and the law. Characteristical- ly, he disregarded the symptoms of his fatal illness in carrying his heavy teaching load to the last day of classes: at what cost we shall never know. In the University, in law offices, in barracks and on the high seas his students and graduates mourn his death and treas- ure his memory.
