Professor Fair always wore a fanny pack, but said he'd only reveal its contents if I won the national moot court competition. I placed second, so his secret remained safe. It was through those competitions that I learned what kind of a man he was. Generous with his time and his sage advice, he'd put a reassuring hand on my shoulder when I was anxious, and he'd be laid-back and good- natured when we played jokes on him. He inspired me to love the law and guided me through the stressful law-school admissions process with his typical gentleness and serene stoicism. At his memorial service, other former students, many of them now attorneys, spoke of his profound mentorship and friendship. His wife also revealed what he never would: In that fanny pack, fittingly, was a copy of the U.S. Constitution. —Andrew Wallach '15, University of Pennsylvania Law School, Class of 2018 IT'S CLICHÉ, but Professor Winston really did change my life. When I declared philosophy my major, I searched the halls of that department, eager to speak to any professor about what classes to take. I saw just one door open, the one bearing the name "Morton Winston." From that moment, he became a mentor, and ultimately, a friend. He suggested I take his Philosophy of Law class, and that class is the reason I plan to go to law school. An activist and proponent of Amnesty International, Professor Winston stood for justice and human rights, and his legacy continues on in all of the lives he touched. His calm voice, sharp questions, and ability to stretch students' potential were gifts to me and the TCNJ community. His jokes in class and jovial approach to life helped us through our low points. He believed in me and inspired me to follow my own passions, which led to an internship at the White House. I had the opportunity to give him and his wife a tour, small thanks for all he had done for me. My only wish is that I could have thanked him more. —Shawn Syed '17
