J. Robert Vaughan Memorial Scholarship
The Joseph Robert Vaughan Memorial Scholarship was initiated in December 2001 as a fitting tribute to J. Robert Vaughan, who is remembered as an active member in Loyola Law School affairs for more than 50 years. The scholarship will be awarded to day or evening students on the basis of scholastic ability and achievement in the areas of Business and Commercial Law, whose extra curricular or professional interests are particularly strong in those areas of practice.
Bob Vaughan ’39, son of Professor Vincent B. Vaughan, one of the first members of Loyola Law School’s faculty, was the originator of the Board of Visitors (now Overseers) and a long-time distinguished member of the Fritz B. Burns Foundation Board of Trustees. The Fritz B. Burns Foundation has provided Loyola with the Burns Building, Founder’s Hall, the Fritz B. Burns Chair in Real Property, the Day and Evening Burns Scholarship programs and the soon-to-be-dedicated Burns Plaza -- all tributes to the generosity of the members of the Foundation. Mr. Vaughan’s widow, Margaret M. Vaughan and dear family friend, Lois M. Schwartz, initiated the memorial tribute.
