IHrezihing iluhge Tom Shaffer is easily the most underrated member of the Law faculty. Dean OiMeara wrote the following in his 1962-63 iiDeanis Report? Mr. Thomas L. Shaffer, 161, who has been practis- ing law in Indianapolis, was appointed Assistant Professor and entered upon his duties on July 1. Mr. Shaffer was Editor of the Notre Dame Lawxer in 1960-61 and had a better performance record than anyone else has been able to achieve under our present program of instruction. He will take over Professor Rollinsonis courses. We are de- lighted to have Professor Shaffer with us. The 1965-66 Deanis Report stated that Shaffer had es- tablished, according to Father Hesburgh, iiprobably the course record from graduation to full professorshipi,-five years. He has read most everything. He has continually pub- lished articles and books of significance. Where he is unap- preciated is in his leadership in setting a tone of iicommun- ityii, a mood of civility and Christian feeling in our school. He is a sensitive, gracious person, open and generous. He is a good man and we have been lucky to have him. This page sponsored by The Foundation Press, Publishers of Dean Shafferis Planning and Drafting of Wills and Trusts 19
