The meeting opened with a moment of silence in memory of Vernon Eddins Jr., a 14-year-old freshman who was killed Friday, Dec. 21, when he was shot after a confrontation between African-American students and Hispanic males outside Barnard-White about a half-hour after classes had been dismissed.

From wikipedia:
George Joseph Stigler (January 17, 1911 – December 1, 1991) was a U.S. economist. He won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1982, and was a key leader of the Chicago School of Economics, along with his close friend Milton Friedman.

While at Chicago, he was greatly influenced by Frank Knight, his dissertation supervisor. Milton Friedman, a friend for over sixty years, comments it as a remarkable feat since only three or four students ever managed to complete their PhD dissertation under Knight in 28 years of his service at Chicago. Jakob Viner and Henry Simons also had great influence on him. Among his students, Allen Wallis and Milton Friedman also had great impact on his economic thinking.
