Gilbert briefly discussed with the Justice what he will address in his speech at the stamp dedication ceremony. "I would say the University would bring happiness to Grandfather. [Justice Brandeis] considered himself an educator. He would be pleased by the scholarship of members of the faculty and want to read their books. He would be pleased about the growth and potential of the students," Gilbert said.
In an e-mail to the Justice, Reinharz stated that the Louis Brandeis stamp "is a reminder for the members of the Brandeis community of the values espoused by Justice Brandeis, which are reflected in the University's core mission of academic excellence, social justice, non-sectarianism and support for the Jewish community."
Bowen, who has worked at Brandeis since March of 1979, said, "I think it's a wonderful honor for Justice Brandeis. It's really a monument to what he accomplished in his day and what we're still trying to instill in the students that come through the school."
