NY From 1948-1984, the first person most students encountered on arriving at Townes Hall was the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, T.J. Gibson. Long before he retired from the University of Texas School of Law on August 31, 1984, T.J. Gibson became a well- known ins titution, a hero among the student who sought under- standing in a place that appears at times appears to lack humanity. On March 7, 1985, T.J. Gibson, the law student ' s friend, passed away. The Student Bar Association resolved to name the annual Law Week Awards Ceremony in his honor.
