THE WILLIAM H. WHITE FOUNDATION.

This Foundation was established in 1922 by a gift of $10,000 by Mrs.
Emma Gray White, widow, Mrs. Emma Gray Trigg, daughter, and W. H.
Landon White and William H. White, Jr., sons, of the late William H.
White, a distinguished Alumnus and for many years a Visitor of the University.
The conditions require that the income be used in securing each
session the delivery before the University Law School of a series of lectures,
preferably not less than three in number, by a jurist or publicist, who is
specially distinguished in some branch of jurisprudence, domestic, international,
or foreign; that the lecturer present some fresh or unfamiliar aspect
of his subject. Each series of lectures shall possess such unity that they may
be published in book form; and that the copyright thereof shall vest in the
Foundation.

The first lectures under the William H. White Foundation were delivered
during the session of 1923-24 by Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard
Law School, upon the subject of "Codification."
