NOTORIOUS In 1978, Ruth Bader Ginsburg addressed students on campus in what was then the Jones Hall Inside Theater. At the time, she had been teaching at Columbia Law School for six years; was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford; and was general counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union, where she litigated sex discrimination cases and was instrumental in launching the Women’s Rights Project. She would, of course, go on to an appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1980, and accept President Bill Clinton’s nomination to the Supreme Court in 1993, where she served until her death on Sept. 18. Thanks to Logger and archives volunteer John Finney ’67, P’94 for finding this photo.
