Scheinbuks' Big Bucks

Dr. Julian Scheinbuks left the largest gift ever to an public Illinois university with his one million dollar gift to Chicago State. The Sun-Times article does a nice job giving us a sense of the man. 

Teachers who spend their lives working with students are amazingly special people. When one of them turns around and then gives all of his material possessions saved through those years of work back again to the students - that is just overwhelming.

Dr. Scheinbuks' life served as an inspiration. With his passing, he humbles us all. May he rest in peace.
