Chair:

I'm delighted to say that I've just been officially given the Gary T. Schwartz Chair at UCLA law school. It was a great privilege to have Gary as a teacher when I was a student here -- he really was a superb teacher -- and then as a colleague for several years until his untimely death.

Regrettably, it turns out that there's actually no physical chair involved, though maybe I could just rename my chair the Gary T. Schwartz Chair. Gary was a torts scholar, so perhaps that will decrease my chance of having accidents in the chair -- or would it increase the chance?
