Ellis Reid, '59 on giving back because the Law School helped start his career

I give back because the University of Chicago Law School is responsible for the molding of my young mind so that I could become a scholar of the law who could put the seamless web together and see the big picture that was laid out in the various classes taught by some of the greatest professors in this nation. I give back because the Law School is responsible for the launching of my legal career. I give back in order to help in the modest way that I do in order to pass on this tradition of excellence to the succeeding generations of legal scholars. I truly wish that I could do more, and I will, because I have been truly blessed with a great legal career.
