Sadly, Professor Lucien Le Cam passed away on April 25, 2000. Visit our website http://www.stat.berkeley.edu for more information. Also see page 7. In his honor, we have worked hard and succeeded to obtain the IMS's approval for a Le Cam Lecture within the IMS to be held every three years. It is now time to raise money for the endowment of $20,000. We would like to ask for you generous donations to set up such a permanent IMS lecture in Lucien's memory. Please send your donations to (payable to IMS-LeCam Endowment Fund):
