University of Texas Law School Foundation The Foundation is a private corporation chartered under the laws of the State of Texas as an educational foundation. Its purpose is to assist the Law School by providing extra financial support unavailable through the normal university channels, and since its inception, the Foundation has played a vital role in the Law School's steady growth to a position of national ranking in legal education. The Foundation also provides scholarships, loans and awards to deserving students. In the judgment of the trustees of the Foundation, there is no bet- ter way to honor a distinguished man than to use the income from substantial gifts to obtain or maintain the services of distinguished teachers devoted to educating young men and women for service in the legal profession. A minimum gift of $ 100,000 is required to endow a professorship and minimum gift of $400,00 is required to endow a chair. FRONT ROW: Leroy Jeffers. Allan Shivers, Tom Scaly, Kraft Eidman.
