Maddock ’53, and Bernard Judge ’57.
The honorees were inducted at a convocation
on Friday, April 4, and each spoke to
students about his Fenwick experience.
Dave Collins graduated from University
of Notre Dame and earned his law degree
from Harvard University. He was a top
executive with Johnson and Johnson and
its subsidiary, McNeil Pharmaceutical,
maker of Tylenol, in 1982 when seven
people died from ingesting Tylenol
capsules contaminated with cyanide. Dave
was one of a small group of company
leaders dealing with the crisis. Out of
concern for public safety, they decided to
pull immediately all Tylenol products from
stores everywhere in the world. Dave
retired from Johnson & Johnson in 1988,
served as president of Schering Plough
Corporation’s Healthcare Products from
1989-1994, has taught courses in valuebased
decision-making at graduate schools
of business, and currently serves as a
consultant in the healthcare industry.
At the Hall of Fame convocation, Dave
related that, in the days following the
deaths from tainted Tylenol, he called
upon two trusted friends from Fenwick
who were lawyers in Chicago to help
uncover the details of the incident. He
advised students that Fenwick is “a place
to build strong friendships that can help
you through many situations – and a place
to think about the values you will take
with you through life.”
Bernie Judge is Editor and Publisher of
the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin and Chicago
Lawyer magazine. His extraordinary
journalism career includes being Associate

Editor of the Chicago Sun-Times, Editor
and General Manager of the City News
Bureau of Chicago, and City Editor of the
Chicago Tribune. Under his editorial
guidance, newspaper stories, especially in
the field of investigative reporting, have
won numerous local and national awards,
including the Pulitzer Prize. Bernie later
served as a Pulitzer Prize judge. He is a
member of the Chicago Journalism Hall of
Fame and has been named “Man of the
Year” by the Constitutional Rights
Foundation Chicago. He is a Life Trustee of
Fenwick and a recipient of Fenwick’s
Accipiter Award for Meritorious Service to
the Legal Profession.
Bernie recalled for students how he
transferred in during his sophomore year
and struggled at first to catch up with
Fenwick students who seemed far ahead
academically. “Then a miracle began occurring.
Despite a lot of resistance from me, I
began to learn. Fenwick taught me how to
think logically, how to address a problem
and solve it, and how to do not just what’s
correct – but also to do what’s right.”
Jim Maddock is the founder and
President of Maddock Industries and a
national leader in the field of commercial
heating/ventilation, and air conditioning.
After a successful four years at Fenwick,
