Annenberg Endows $1-Million Program to Honor U.S. Judge
Former Ambassador Walter H. Annenberg has endowed a $1-million public service fellowship program at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Mass., in honor of Judge Irving R. Kaufman’s 40 years on the federal bench.
The endowment will fund fellowships for students or recent alumni who want to enter public service, Harvard officials said. The first awards, in the amount of $10,000 each, will be made for the academic year 1990-91.
Kaufman, 79, was appointed to the federal bench in 1949 by President Harry S. Truman. He served 12 years in the Southern District of New York before being elevated to the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in 1961.
