It was a sad day yesterday for UBC Law, as news quickly spread that the founder of the law school had died. What most people outside the law school probably won't realise is that Dean Curtis remained at the heart of the school, even more than thirty years after he retired, and sixty years after he started the law school in a grouping of army tents. When we arrived as green 1Ls he was celebrating his 98th birthday, and the school held an event in his honour. He was often seen in his ground-floor office, in the library, or chatting with students in the halls. He was even teased in skits performed in last years Law Revue. Goodbye Dean Curtis.
