A New Garden in the Law Quad

“This garden doesn’t celebrate any solitary law professor. It doesn’t celebrate any distinguished alumnus. It celebrates a faculty-student relationship. I often recall when I was a student how lucky we were to have this great legal institution in a relatively small town, which encouraged and enabled close faculty-student relationships. That has continued on. The relationships that develop here between faculty and students endure for years. And that is a wonderful tribute to this school.”

—Ted St. Antoine, ’54

In 2021, Michigan Law held a dedication ceremony for a new garden in the Law Quad, the Jardin St. Antoine-Fetter, which was made possible by a $1 million gift from Steven M. Fetter, ’79, and his wife, Bonnie K. Kellogg. The garden is located outside of the Lawyers’ Club dining room, and is in honor of Fetter’s cherished friendship with Ted St. Antoine, ’54, the James E. and Sarah A. Degan Professor Emeritus of Law.
