Gantenbein Society
$5,000+ annually or $100,000 lifetime giving
Over sixty years, 1903 to 1965, the Gantenbein family left its imprint on Lewis & Clark Law School. Family members served as students, professors, registrar, dean, trustee, and proprietors, advancing the school in prosperous years and buoying it in waning times.
Dean John Gantenbein was passionate not only about the law, but about mentoring great lawyers. His passion extended to financial commitments, including loans to students and numerous personal sacrifices that kept the law school alive in its early years. Above all, Dean Gantenbein believed that to live the life of the law fully, lawyers must join their hearts and their minds.
