Dear Dean Whitman:
Thank you for your kind invitation to speak at the Law Society dinner and
for the opportunity of addressing your law students. Although it would please
me very much to speak to both groups next fall, I am unable to make a
commitment at this time and so must decline.
I wish you all the best for a successful program. Please give my regards
to the members of the Law Society.
Sincerely yours,
Isl OVilliam H. ~ebs~'

You~ll recall that we had hoped you could come to Columbia
this fall and be our guest for our annual Law Society dinner.
?Your -schedule-didn "-t .allow--you to do ?so, and I am writing-ir: t::e
hope of persuading you to be our guest next year at the same
event.
The Law Society is composed of our major donors -- those who
have committed to at least $25,000 in gifts. We presently have
60 members. The event is black tie, and we like to have it in as
elegant a setting as possib~~e (though in Columbia the choices are
not all that wide!). I am sure that you know many of the members
personally.
- -We--would like to~-have- you -give a brief talk - on the- order
of 15 minutes -- at the Law Society
Dinner.
If you are willing,
___.
_
we would also like to ask you to speak to the student body of the
law school during the afternoon preceding the dinner. This could
be an hour or so, and I can guarantee it would be very well
attended.
We have not set a date for this event, and would try to make
it fit with your schedule. ~ -We like -to hold -i-t on -a-Friday
evening preceding a Saturday home football game. The possible
dates for next fall. include:
October
14-15,
1988
(Iowa State game)
November
4-5,
1988
(Colorado game)
November
11-12, 1988
(Oklahoma game)
We would, of course, cover all your expenses and invite you
to the football game. I hope you can do it, and I~m certain you
would enjoy yourself immensely. Please let me know if you can
fit it into your plans. With best personal wishes.
Sincerely,
Dale A. Whitman
Dean
