Description
"If you have really able, really hard working people of character and integrity, and commitment and ambition, you can do marvelous things..." -- Taylor Reveley
------------------------------------
The second part of Reveley’s oral history, structured around his 2007 Memorandum on the State of the Law School, took place in the Reeder Media Center in the Swem Library at William & Mary on February 15, 2024. The second part focused on the categories of “things physical,” “things human,” “things programmatic,” “things financial,” and “things spiritual.” Topics addressed in “things physical” included Reveley’s work on capital improvements to the McGlothlin Courtroom and the North Wing as well as renovations to the law library as well as improvements to the lobby. “Things human” addressed the growth in class size and the improvement in student quality as well as the growth of tenure track faculty and the expansion of reunion efforts. “Things programmatic” addressed improvements to Courtroom 21 and court technology as well as the development of new centers and groups. “Things financial” addressed the increasing operational budget and the growth of the endowment. Finally, “things spiritual” addressed the rebuttal of Harvard’s claim to being the oldest law school and the growth of institutional pride.
