BARBARA HOROWITZ

HOROWITZ--Barbara. Dean David M. Schizer and the entire Columbia Law School community are greatly saddened by the loss of Barbara Silver Horowitz, who was, along with her husband, Gedale B. Horowitz '55, a devoted champion of the Law School and Columbia University. Throughout her life, Barbara had an unstinting devotion to educational excellence. She was intimately connected to the alumni affairs of Barnard College from the time she graduated in 1955, and generously endowed a chair for the director of education at Barnard and established its Centennial Scholars program. For many years Barbara and Dale have also extended their counsel, generosity, and friendship to the Law School, where Dale has served on the Steering Committee for the Board of Visitors, and his class reunion committee. Last year, they received Columbia University Alumni Medals for Distinguished Service from the Columbia Alumni Association. Barbara was an inspiration to many for conveying her passion for Columbia with both humility and grace. Our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to Dale, son Seth '89, daughter Ruth Horowitz Nachman, and their families.
