Alumni-endowed lecture series wows Harvard students

Last week, as the Harvard Crimson reports, Harvard Law School inaugurated its Herbert W. Vaughan Lecture Series, which brings in speakers to expound on the "founding principles and core doctrines" of the U.S. Constitution. The first speaker was Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Class of 1960, whose lecture on "Originalism and the Constitution" drew rave reviews from students of all ideological stripes. The Vaughan Lecture, endowed by and named for a longtime ACTA member, is a perfect example of how savvy donors can make a genuine contribution to the intellectual experience of students--a topic we explore in our publication The Intelligent Donor's Guide to College Giving, to which Mr. Vaughan contributed. We applaud the Vaughan Lecture series and congratulate its generous namesake.
