The 1969 Law Alumni Day was of added significance that year, as it was coupled with the rededication of the renovated Law Building. Speakers at Alumni Day included Dean Fordham, Edward H. Levi, President of the University of Chicago, and Honorable Samuel J. Roberts, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. An unexpected addition to the proceedings was a protest in which picketers decried the lack of diversity in the Law School’s student body.

The essay “Coming of Age at Penn,” by Professor John O. Honnold shares his recollections of the 1946-1947 school years at the Law School, his first as a faculty member. The essay describes dilapidated Law School facilities, as well as the challenges of conducting class, which was often disrupted by city noise. Professor Honnold holds these post-war years to be special to the Law School, as the influx of law students, matured and toughened by war, forced the Law School to virtually double the faculty, who were young and possessed a “missionary zeal to remake legal education.
