Lehan K. Tunks—A Tribute

Lee Tunks came to New Jersey as Dean of the two Rutgers Law Schools (Newark and Camden) in 1953 and served until 1962. Rutgers Law School had been only recently created; it had come into being in 1948 (from the merger of several municipal and private schools) as the law school of the contemporaneously created state university, Rutgers University. Lee\u27s charge and purpose was to build a major state law school. He had to position the school as a high priority claimant upon university resources: to effect large increases in library collection and staff, to break his faculty\u27s salaries free from the university pattern, to acquire research and administrative resources, all of which generated disputes within the university. He led the faculty to decisions that entangled the newly visible public institution in external fights with bar, alumni, or the legislature. There was one year in which Newark admissions standards were so boosted as to cut the entering class by almost 50%, and there was a several-year campaign to drop the school\u27s evening division as beyond its resources. All these disputes were intensified by the dedication and passion with which Lee pressed his positions, but it was the same dedication coupled with a superior tactical sense which saw them mostly won on Lee\u27s terms

Density of Ham- and Lee- non-isometric k-ary Words

Isometric k-ary words have been defined referring to the Hamming and the Lee distances. A word is non-isometric if and only if it has a prefix at distance 2 from the suffix of same length; such a prefix is called 2-error overlap. The limit density of isometric binary words based on the Hamming distance has been evaluated by Klavzar and Shpectorov, obtaining that about 8% of all binary words are isometric. In this paper, the issue is addressed for k-ary words and referring to the Hamming and the Lee distances. Actually, the only meaningful case of Lee-isometric k-ary words is when k=4. It is proved that, when the length of words increases, the limit density of quaternary Ham-isometric words is around 17%, while the limit density of quaternary Lee-isometric words is even bigger, it is about 30%. The results are obtained using combinatorial methods and algorithms for counting the number of k-ary isometric words

Lehan K. Tunks—A Personal Recollection

What follows are some observations about Lee Tunks, formed during my several years of assisting him with deaning duties at the Law School, and during the years since when we have been faculty colleagues and friends. I always think of Lee as a law school dean. Perhaps that is because he was a dean when I first met him. Perhaps it is because what I really know about deans and deaning I learned first from him. Whatever the cause, he seems to me to be one of those people destined to be a law school dean. I have known many fine deans since those days, but most feel the job is one they didn\u27t plan on having and one they will someday (hopefully soon) be well rid of. By contrast, Lee Tunks seemed to the manor born

Truth is mighty & will eventually prevail Political Correctness, Neo-Confederates, and Robert E. Lee

Jefferson Davis sent Robert E. Lee an unusual note after the battle of Gettysburg. The dispatch did not contain any presidential recommendations or requests, only a clipped article from the Charleston Mercury criticizing Lee and his subordinates for failure in Pennsylvania. Why Davis sent this article is impossible to say, and Lee apparently was not interested in the president’s motivations. The General dismissed newspaper criticism of himself as “harmless,” but the Mercury’s condemnation of the army disturbed him. He considered the charges harmful to the cause, for his officers and soldiers were beyond reproach. Defeat, Lee insisted, was his responsibility alone. “No blame can be attached to the army for its failure to accomplish what was projected by me,” he wrote, “nor should it be censured for the unreasonable expectations of the public. I am alone to blame, in perhaps expecting too much of its prowess & valour. [excerpt
