HAIL MINNESOTA

Minnesota Hail to Thee! Hail to Thee our college dear!

Thy light shall ever be A beacon bright and clear,

Thy sons and daughters true Will proclaim Thee near and far.

They will guard Thy fame; And adore Thy name;

Thou shalt be their Northern Star!

Like the stream that bends to sea Like the pine that seeks the blue!

Minnesota, still for Thee Thy sons and daughters true

From their woods and waters fair, From their prairies waving far;

At Thy call they throng With their shout and song,

Hailing Thee their Northern Star!

GIFT FROM THE CLASS OF 2004

The Class of 2004 is pleased to announce that its class gift will be a donation to the Career Services Office to be used for the purchase of a facsimile machine. The Career Services Office provides information, advice and counsel to students throughout law school. With a facsimile machine on site, the Career Services Office can now provide students with the means to communicate with potential employers quickly and efficiently. This gift will help future University of Minnesota Law School graduates with their career search.

In addition, should additional funding be available, the Class of 2004 will make a donation to the Loan Repayment Assistance Program, which assists graduates of the Law School who choose public interest careers with educational loan repayment.
