It is an honor to take part in this Festschrift for Joseph M. Perillo, scholar of contract law and friend and mentor to so many contracts teachers and practitioners. As the General Editor of the Revised Edition of Corbin On Contracts, Professor Perillo is advancing contracts scholarship on the widest scale.

Calamari, Professor Perillo contributed a famous article, A Plea For a Uniform Parol Evidence Rule and Principles of Contract Interpretation, 42 Ind.

I hope that this essay does him justice.
