To Darg or not to Darg.

Soft Darg

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Professor Dargo. I remember with fondness our Constitutional Law class (Evening Division). His classes were lively; discussions were energetic, and he "stretched the if" so many times for us to understand and interpret The Constitution. He made us think; and he nurtured in us passion and conviction for the law, and for great lawyering.
On a personal note, I remember that he was serious yet funny, tough but fair, and mostly, that he loved teaching....

I did badly my first year at NESL. Going into my second year I was sure I would flunk out. Then I met George Dargo. Two semesters of Professor Dargo's love of the law, respect for his students and wonderful sense of humor and yada, yada, yada the next thing I know I'm walking across the stage at The Wang Center. Thank you Professor.

Rich Philben Class of 2002

The world has lost a good, good man. I fondly recall my time spend with Professor Dargo. I had the priviledge of not only being a studfent in his Admin. Law class but also serving as his research assisant during my time at NESL. We will miss you dearly.

Rarely a day goes by that I don't think about Professor Dargo and our conversations about Kafka and the law. Professor Dargo fostered creatve thinking with his students and brought life to the law. His wisdom will stay with all of us who knew him. He is indeed greatly missed.

Fondly remembered. My sincere condolences to the Dargo family.

NESL '95

You were a wonderful professor and friend. You had an ability to make us want to learn more and laugh through it all. I will miss you dearly.

Much like the "penumbras" of the Constitution you so passionately taught, your legacy and lives you've touched will be as long lasting and profound.

You will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
