Not having been privileged to study, or work more than fleetingly, with Philip Jessup, I write from a less informed and intimate perspective than his colleagues and, of course, his son. Not that Jessup was a distant figure, for he conveyed to all who knew him, or even encountered him, a warmth and sympathy that was exceptional. No man in the world of international law aroused more universal admiration and affection than did Philip Jessup.
