...that contains the School’s rare book and art collection bears his name. “Finn Caspersen once said that Harvard Law School challenged him to think, and he in turn became an extraordinary friend and supporter of the school and its mission,” Dean of the Law School Martha Minow said in a statement posted on the Law School’s Web site. Caspersen’s philanthropic activity extended well beyond Cambridge: he also donated to institutions such as the New Jersey prep school he attended, an equestrian center, and a rowing...
