A $3.1 gift to the WSU Law School is the focus of this story about the generosity of attorney and alumnus Carl Ziemba, who passed away recently. The Law School learned of the gift shortly before Ziemba died on the day before his 85th birthday. Dean Frank Wu explained that Ziemba came to the school one day to discuss donating his books, which the school later accepted gratefully. Ziemba had mentioned casually that he also had been thinking about making an additional monetary gift. But that was the last the school heard from him until last fall, when it was learned he had left the largest gift ever to the Law School. The money is to be used to fund need-based scholarships. Wu said the school's handling of the books donation was an important factor in the later bequest. "It was important to value him for his books," he explained. "Respecting Mr. Ziemba and sharing his love of books is what led to the enormous bequest."
