This book is dedicated to Cary M. Maguire for his constant dedication and support of ethics education across the United States. We at SMU owe a special debt to him for his support, encouragement, and resolve. Not only did he establish the Maguire Center for Ethics & Public Responsibility at SMU but he also endowed chairs at numerous universities as well as the Library of Congress. Mr. Maguire is a visionary. He asks tough questions. Yet he also demonstrates through his own life actions that questioning ethical decisions takes a dedication to enacting values. Countless students have benefitted from his endowment of our summer Public Service Fellowships that support students financially so that they can spend the summers researching ethics-related issues or pursuing volunteer opportunities with nonprofit organizations. Professors have been supported through course development grants, yearly Public Scholar lecture, and teaching fellowships. The community has been engaged as a result of public forums on issues of the day, the Ethics & Compliance program, the yearly Conference of the Professions and our annual J. Erik Jonsson Ethics Award for community service. Ethics is about more than words on a page but a living habit of mind and action. Thank you for investing your energy in us.
