The telephone rings often in the Reference Department of Biddle Library. That is as it should be. Frequently the callers are you, our Alumni . Many of the calls are local, but some of you call from outside the Philadelphia area. A large number of you call on us through your secretaries or through your law firm librarians. We are pleased that Biddle Library continues to be a resource that you fmd useful. There is every reason to maxirrtize Biddle's value for the legal community.

When I came to Biddle in 1984 , I learned that for decades a small, dedicated staff at Biddle had been responding to requests for in­formation from Alumni and were doing a ter­rific job within the very stringent constraints that Biddle's own budget required. Those budget constraints prevented the Library from photocopying articles or statutes which you needed. Usually, the best that we could do was to check on the availabilty of what you

The !!! Glorious !!! Biddle Gala- A Smashing Success on Every Front

" The Law School never looked more resplendent .. . Biddle should celebrate a birth­day EVERY year!!! ... An extraordinary event­the best of the spring season!!! ... the am­biance and spirit of the evening will last and last ... !!! "

Such were the comments of the more than two hundred guests in attendance at the long-awaited Biddle Law Library's Centennial Anniversary celebration, held Saturday even­ing june 7, 1986. The Gala theme, evoking the era of Gilbert and Sullivan, framed the event's decor and entertainment with stylized cut-outs of Trial By jury characters gracing the walls of the School, and members of the Law School Light Opera Company performing medleys of G & S hits during the cocktail hour. " Members" of the British Guard greeted guests as they entered the School.

The evening began with a champagne toast at the Sylvan M. Cohen Gateway to Biddle Library, followed by cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at the elaborately decorated Goat. Dinner was served in the tented Law School Courtyard to the music of the Mark Davis Orchestra . Three members of the Biddle family - Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Biddle and Mr. Stephen Biddle - were present and, through the ge!lerosity of the Law School Class of 1930, members of the newly-graduated Class of 1986 were able to attend the Gala . Recent

wanted from the Library, and then request that you send a messenger to photocopy it. Few of our long-distance callers could be helped.

We have changed that system and, in so doing, have changed the constraints. We now employ someone who can photocopy the journal articles, the foreign statutes, and the specialized items which may not be accessible in other libraries. This same person can dispatch the photocopy to you by the means you select: telefax (supply us with your telefax number) , any of several next day delivery services, or regular or express mail via the U.S. Postal Service.

We can now offer this expanded service to all Alumni because it has been placed on a cost-recovery basis. The costs of our new ser­vice, for the unusual items that you might seek, actually may be less than those of a courier. Normally, we will dispatch the photocopy (or tell you why we cannot) for delivery the working day after we receive the request.

There is a special phone number for the new photocopy service: (215) 898-9387. You will need to give us: 1) a citation for the item

Law School Alumna Peggy B. Wachs,' 86, was the recipient of the ''Door Prize'~ a weekend at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia .

In addition to the Gala's being a spectacular social event, it was a stunning financial suc­cess - over $82 ,000 was raised for Biddle Law Library. Through the remarkable coor­dinating abilities of the Biddle Law Library Centennial Celebration Committee co-chaired by Alma and Sylvan M.('38) Cohen and Lynn and Glen A. ('66) 1bbias together with the Law School's Assistant Dean for Alumni Af­fairs , Alice B.Lonsdorf, the endeavor proved to be a glowing achievement. The women of the Committee - Fanchon Apfel, Susie Auten , Beth Bartle, Gladys Bernstein, Annette Barish , Alma Cohen, Mimi Dimeling, Char­lotte Feldman, Vicki Fox, Bonnie Harkins, Elizabeth Kelly, Bobby Leidner, Guna Mund­heim, Sandra Newman, Bobby Rosin , Lucy Sayre, Mary Ellen Schwab, Porn Segal, Cookie Otani-Smith, Roberta Thnenbaum, Eleanor Thrbox, judy Thomas, Lynn Thbias, Mildred Weisberg and Barbara White - ALL made tremendous contributions toward the Gala's success, each by sharing her particular pro­fessional and creative expertise in the effort. The members of the Committee were lauded by Dean Robert H. Mundheim at a celebratory lunch given in their honor by Gala co-chairs, Alma Cohen and Lynn 1bbias, at The Garden in mid-july.

you wish photocopied, 2) your name and ad­dress for delivery of the photocopy, 3) the phone number of someone we can call if there is a problem and 4) any special delivery instructions. V\e will enclose an invoice with the photocopy which will be billed at $.35 per exposure, a handling fee of $5.00 for up to three citations, and delivery charges based on the mode of delivery you request.

I encourage those with telefacsimile equip­ment in your firms or those in corporate set­tings to experiment with our delivery by this mechanism. Most firms seem to house their telefacsimile equipment in a document preparation area, so both the firm librarian and the word-processing staff might need to get used to a different receipt point for photocopies requested from Biddle. 'Ielefac­simile delivery uses the telephone lines for transmittal of paper copies so, within the 215 area code, telefax delive1y only should cost for paper and machine use.

V\e offer the new photocopy service as an expansion of Biddle's relevance to the legal community. I welcome your comments and suggestions.

tin J. Aronstein,'65, Noyes E.Leech,'48, and Ralph S.Spritzer retired from teaching in june. Over the years, their extraordinary scholarly endeavors and noteworthy contributions to the legal profession and to society­at-large have brought honor and prestige to this Law School.

Professor Martin j. Aronstein, '65, has ''worn the hats'' of many professions in addition to those of lawyer and teacher.

He has been Chairman of the American Bar Association's Committee of Stock Certificates, and he was the draftsman of the 1977 Amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code. Pro­fessor Aronstein taught courses in Commercial Transac­tions, Accounting and Creditors' Rights while at the Law School.

At the Law School, he taught Bills and Notes, International Law and Corporations; he edited casebooks on The International Legal System and on Corpora­tions and, with Dean Mund­heim, founded and was General Editor of The journal of Com­parative Business and capital Market Law. Now that he is retired, Mr. Leech continues to work on The International Legal System casebook and is endeavoring to perfect his techniques on the cello. (A reprint of the tribute paid by Dean Robert H. Mundheim to

The Law School Retirement Dinner In May, 1986, a Dinner honoring retiring

New Law School Chairs Two endowed Chairs were established at the

Law School in the year 1986: The William B. johnson Corporate Law

Chair was established through a $1.25 million gift from IC Industries of Chicago to honor William B. johnson, of the Class of 1943 and a Law School Overseer, for his 20 years as the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In his announcement of the newly­established Chair, Dean Robert H. Mundheim stated, ·'The holder of the William B. johnson Chair will teach and , through scholarly research and writing, will contribute to the fundamental rethinking of corporate law now taking place in the courts, legislatures and regulatory agencies.' '

The Bernard G. Segal Professorship of Law, to be held by the Dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, was created to honor the esteemed Alumnus, Bernard G. Segal of the Class of 1931. A substantial sum already has been endowed for the Segal Chair, and completion for total funding is projected for the end of the year 1986.

Gifts and Bequests Ruth H. Levine has contributed a gift of

$10,000 to the Biddle Law Library Endow­ment Fund honoring the memory of her late husband, Leonard A. Levine. The income of the Endowment Fund is used to acquire books for the Library. An appropriate bookplate memorializing Mr. Levine will appear in the books purchased in his name.

ANNUAL GIVING UPDATE The Challenge

Law Annual Giving 1986-87 is endeavoring to raise $1,500,000 from 50% of the Law School Alumni. In order to accomplish this ambitious goal, a group of Alumni have join­ed together to establish a challenge fund of $150,000 to match first-time gifts to the Law School, gifts of donors who join the Benjamin Franklin Society for the first time and gifts of donors who increase their giving within the levels of the Benjamin Franklin Society.

A Successful 1985-86 Firm Solicitation Program

The Annual Giving Firm Solicitation Pro­gram, having completed its third year in operation, has done well thanks to the dedicated efforts of the ftrm solicitors. The total amount collected during the year 1985-86 from the Philadelphia program was $208,578; the total of $81,951 was collected from ftrrns in New York and New Jersey. Those which deserve special recognition for having achieved 100% participation in cash from all firm Alumni were Hangley, Connolly, Epstein, Chicco, Foxman & Ewing; Hoyle, Morris & Kerr; and Kleinbard, Bell & Brecker - all of Philadelphia. The New York City frrms with 100% participation were Davis, Polk & Wardwell and Proskauer, Rose, Goetz & Mendelsohn . In New Jersey, the frrm of Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland & Perretti also reach­ed 100% participation . These statistics in­dicate great enthusiasm and support for the Law School. The undertaking of this endeavor by all firm solicitors and participants is great­ly appreciated.

A Message Dean Robert H. Mundheim

I t gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Biddle Law Library's Centennial Celebration this evening, June 7, 1986.

A one-hundredth anniversary is an historic occasion and deserves a written record. This souvenir program serves as that and will be one ofthe mementos of this birthday party; in its pages, we can look back over the last century with Mark Lloyd and Libby Harwitz as they review the histories of the Library and the Law School.

You'll find we've come a long way since 1886 when the idea of a Library took hold and slowly began to build. By 1890, the Biddle Law Library had its own specially designed section of the brand new building at 3400 Chestnut Street Every modem facility had been thought of and was available. The 1900 Library had "a desk for each student which provided a lock closet for notes, and an electric bell to call a boy who carried the book slip to the desk and brought back the wanted volumes".

Librarian Elizabeth Kelly will tell you in these pages how 86 years later, computer, tele­communications, and video technology are making the gathering, storage and dis­semination oflegal information miraculously fast and efficient She will also sketch the Biddle Law Library of the future and our commitment to make this the finest resource of its kind, both for the Law School and for the legal community.

The extraordinary support you have shown gives me great confidence that the growth and expansion of services during the second century of the Biddle Law Library will be even more remarkable than the first. Thank you for joining in this 100th anniversary party this evening. Your enthusiastic participation tonight and throughout the year is a real cause for celebration!

EARLY HISTORY OF THE BIDDLE LAW LmRARY

Mark Frazier Lloyd University Archivist

T he Biddle Law Library was originally known as the Biddle Memorial Library for it was the death of George Biddle on 6 April1886 which set in motion the events which led to the establishment of the Law School's library. George Biddle was the eldest son of George

Washington Biddle, who was perhaps Philadelphia's most influential lawyer ofhis day. The son had followed his father's career in the profession oflaw. He had "read law" in his father's office, attended the law lectures offered by the Law Department of the University for the school year 1865-6, and been admitted to the bar on 17 November 1866. His death at the age of 4.3was a great loss to the father and entire family.

George Washington Biddle had been counsel to the University and in 1882 the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Laws. Since 1880 he had been chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association (then known as the Law Association of Philadelphia). In addition to his

professional honors he had what must have been the enormous personal satisfaction of seeing all three of his sons - George, Algernon Sydney and Arthur emulate his career and become successful lawyers. Little did he realize that he would outlive all three and little did anyone know that the Biddle Law Library would be his tribute to them.

University records do not make clear when George Washington Biddle first offered the Law Department a large private collection of legal reports as the nucleus of a memorial library. What is known is that negotiations were under way, but not completed in August 1887. In that month the Provost, William Pepper, informed the Secretary of the Law Faculty, C. Stuart Patterson, that the proposed gift had not yet been finalized. Provost Pepper instructed the deletion from the 1887-8 Law Department catalogue of a paragraph announcing the new library. Pepper was perhaps being overly cautious for the gift was soon there­

after formally made and in October accepted by the University's Board of Trustees.

It was still another year, however, before the "George Biddle Memorial Library" came into use. The struggle between those who wanted the Law Department located near the courts and law offices downtown and those who wanted it on campus had been resolved in favor of downtown. In the 1888-9 school year the Law Department was located in City Hall, using the Pennsylvania Supreme Court room as its lecture hall. The memorial library, some 5,.350

volumes in all, was delivered to these quarters and a librarian hired in December 1888. By the summer of 1889 now Dean Patterson could report that "a book catalogue has been com­pleted during the year and a card catalogue will shortly be completed." Organizing the new library must have been a formidable task, however, as the first year law student who had been employed as Librarian resigned his job in May 1889 and withdrew from the Law Department never to return to the field again. What is fascinating, of course, is that this man was Lightner Witmer who went on to earn a Masters degree in Philosophy from the University, a Doctorate in

Sharswood HaiL Biddle Law Library, 1900

Courtesy University of Pennsylvania Archives

Psychology from the University of Leipzig and in 1896, at the University, founded this country's first psychological clinic. By the time of his retirement in 1937 Professor Witmer was one of Pennsylvania's most honored sons. Had it not been for the Biddle Law Library Lightner Witmer may never have found his life's calling.

In May of 1887 George Washington Biddle's second son, Algernon Sydney, was elected Professor of Law by the University Trustees. His fields were "Practice, Pleading and Evidence at Law" and "Criminal Law." Though just thirty-nine years old the younger Biddle had developed a large law practice and was preceptor to many of the students who attended the lectures of the Law Department It was he who introduced the seminar or case method of teaching in the

4

school and popularized it to such an extent that by 1900 almost all the courses used that teaching technique. What a shock it must have been to all when he died suddenly on 8 April 1891. He left a widow and four sons, one of whom, Francis Biddle, eventually enjoyed a distinguished legal career of his own, including the Attorney Generalship of the United States during World War II.

George Washington Biddle wished to memorialize his second son as he had done his first and in November 1891 offered to endow a Chair in the Law Department. The offer was accepted and in June 1893 George Wharton Pepper, student and protege of Professor Biddle, was elected the first Algernon Sydney Biddle Professor of Law. At the same time the name of the Law Library was changed to 'The George Biddle and Algernon Sydney Biddle Library." By this time the Library had grown substantially. It had moved with the Law Department from City Hall to the Sixth Floor of the Girard Life Insurance Building at Broad and Chestnut Streets in 1890. Solomon Stanger Iszard, a graduate of the Law Class of 1889, had been appointed Librarian in 1890 and was assisted by several law students. He managed the Library's affairs for six years as its size grew to over 10,000 volumes. In 1895 he supervised the move of the Library from Broad and Chestnut Streets to Sixth and Chestnut, where the Law Department occupied buildings immediately adjacent to Independence Hall. Here the Department and its Library stayed for five years before moving to their present quarters in the spring of 1900. In 1896 Edmund Jones was made Librarian, but he resigned after just one year. It was in 1897 that Margaret Center Klingelsmith, a name still familiar to some of the older graduates today, was appointed Librarian. It was she who literally and figuratively brought the Biddle Law Library to 34th and Chestnut Streets and into the twentieth century.

George Washington Biddle lived to see his only surviving son, Arthur, die on 8 March 1897. By that time the elder Biddle too was in failing health. He died on 29 April1897. The Biddle family, however, paid tribute to the third son just as it had his brothers. This time the gift to the Library was the personal collectionof Arthur Biddle. It numbered nearly 4,000 volumes and represented the accumulation of two generations and four members of the family. Shortly before the Law Department moved to its new building at 34th and Chestnut, the name of the Library was changed for the second and last time. It became "The Biddle Law Library'' and so has remained to the present day.

BIDDLE'S SECOND CENTURY:

T o paraphrase the poet, we can expect that the flowering of the future is present in today's bud, and that we will recognize in tomorrow's blooms the characteristics of their root stock and oftoday's plant Biddle, in its second centul)', will be different, strik-

ingly different, from the Biddle Libral)' of the 1960s. But the differences will themselves grow from changes blossoming even now around us. And the familiar aspects of the past will be those aspects of individuality and quality which we selectively preserve for the future.

The elegant neo-Georgian reading rooms have never claimed functionality among their virtues. But happily we can expect they will be a part of Biddle's future. New generations oflaw students will routinely spend time in their uplifting space and cafl)'with them throughout life a nostalgia for the shape and the feel of this distinctive building.

The physical book itself will not disappear, but, as the second centul)' flies by, computer chip books will replace paper books in evel)'day use. Printed books will likely become valuable artifacts, like the Edison phonograph and seventeenth centul)' silver. Telecom­munications and computer technology will increasingly allow the Library's contents to be pervasively accessible throughout the Law School complex and from law offices and homes. Yet the Libral)' (and the Law School) will exist because the coming together of people sparks inquil)', kindles enthusiasm, and refines judgments.

Librarians will be a familiar part of the future of Biddle LibraJY. Their services will be needed more than ever. When the invention of the printing press changed libraries from manuscript collections to storehouses of the printed word, librarians' skills changed. When microforms, videotapes, and audiotapes become part of a library's stock, librarians' skills changed again. The emergence, and now proliferation, of electronic data bases and electronic publishing is once again causing librarians to learn new information retrieval techniques. New generations of law librarians will continue to be invaluable for their indexing expertise, their ability to locate relevant legal information in a variety of formats, and their role in teaching others those research skills.

What else can we predict about Biddle in its second centul)'? We expect Biddle to have a global collection of primal)' legal authority, analysis, and

commental)' which will be richer than at any time in its past. We expect that the retrieval of relevant texts from Biddle's collection, as well as from the

other libraries in other places, will be much more precise and efficient as a result ofindexing software and advances in telecommunications.

We anticipate the Library to be more comfortable, to provide a variety of student study environments including casual seating, group study rooms, computer and video self-help

8

labs, and to provide spacious individual study carrels for law students. We expect electronic aids, whether they are microprocessor stations, video screens or

optical disc display units, will be as common and as essential as the telephone has been in a lawyer's office.

In its Second Century of Quality, the Library can be a much more effective force in the educational enterprise of the Law School; the main event however, will still take place in the minds of the students and faculty.

Given The Best Information

The Best L.a~er Always Wins

Never before have the complexities of law and legislative intent been so randomly dispersed in a maze of published reports, background materials, and official documents .

Without the proper research aids, even the most logical minds have little advantage in digging through the output of the U.S. Congress or the myriad other sources of government information. Yet to do a complete, accurate, and up-to-date analysis, legal researchers must thoroughly examine these vast information mills.

That is why CIS services are so popular. They allow library users to quickly and easily extract the exact piece of needed information from millions of pages of published material.

Each of our "current awareness" systems includes indexes and abstracts that provide ready identification and evaluation of source publications. Each system is updated monthly and can be used in printed form , or searched online using a remote computer terminal. We also publish finding aids for significant bodies of historical material.

And with our microfiche collections in your library, researchers can retrieve and review

Congressional Information Service, Inc. Publishers of:

The Biddle Law Library: Growing and Changing

Sheldon Hackney, President University of Pennsylvania

I t has been said that "libraries are not made; they grow." Starting out as a reflection of a human mind, individual collections take on a life of their own, continuing to develop as the result of love and care as much as through any act of will. During the first

decades of its existence, the Biddle Law Library was nurtured by a single family, whose members it memorialized by preserving that most personal testimony of an educated mind in action -a lifetime's accumulation of books.

Like all growing things, however, mature libraries require attention if they are not to run wild or go to seed. Just as today's School of Law is very different from a hundred years ago, so the demands on a modem library serving large numbers of students, faculty, and alumni have changed in unforeseeable ways. As we take stock of the distance we have come in the first century of the Biddle Law Library's existence, it is appropriate that we tend to the needs of the present and future.

Traditionally, libraries have provided access to worlds of knowledge through the written word. Today, their role has been amplified by new technologies, which make it possible for readers and researchers, who may not even be physically present in the library, to draw upon the information stored not only on our sh~lves but also in collections all over the world. Earlier this year, it gave me special pleasure to help dedicate the new Sylvan M. Cohen Gateway to the Biddle Law Library. This could well serve to symbolize the new age we have entered in which the library must provide a variety of different Gateways to learning and information. As technology permits Biddle's contents to become available electronically to people outside the University, access will double as outreach in the years ahead.

In supporting growth and change at the Biddle Law Library, we continue the good work that was begun one hundred years ago. I applaud the activities of the Friends of Biddle, and those involved in the ongoing Biddle endowment campaign, and I would like to congratulate everyone responsible for this evening's gala event Good wishes and thanks to you all.

THE BIDDLE ENDOWMENT FUND

Don Myers Director of Development

T he rebuilding program at Biddle has been necessary because of the impact of three

external factors on law library funds during the 1970s: the explosion of legal information, runaway inflation and the weakness of the dollar against foreign currency.

Reestablishing a state-of-the-art law library has been difficult for Bid­dle since it now must spend money, remedially, to buy the best of what should have been purchased during those years. At the same time, Biddle must protect for the future many items in its rich collection that are deteriorating in their present form.

The infusion of endowment income is the best mechanism to provide the funds needed to assure Biddle's continuing eminence. Once in place, additions to the endowment will permit it to perform the functions traditionally associated with endow­ments, i.e., the enrichment of aspects of the collection reflecting the strengths of the faculty and the uniqueness of the curricular offerings.

A named fund with the endowment can be established for a gift of $75,000, in anyofthe following areas:

• A Preservation Fund • An Acquisition Fund • A Technology Fund This centennial endowment effort

is under the leadership of William White, L'38, former managing partner of Duane, Morris & Heckscher. Further information is available from Bill White or the Law School Development Office.

FRIENDS OF BIDDLE Stephanie E. Kallen

Director, Law Alumni Affairs

0 ver the past three years, Friends of Biddle has helped immeasurably to reestablish

Biddle Library among its peer institu­tions. The purpose of the Friends effort is to raise $100,000 annually for the purchase of books and mate­rials. In the year 1984-85 the Library was able to acquire more physical volumes than all but four or five aca­demic law libraries in the country. The Friends' program has increased Biddle's book expenditure budget; it has helped the Library begin the important task of providing compu­ter capability to law students; and it has installed a book theft protection system. The legal information explo­sion and the technological delivery of this information will continue to demand considerable resources, and the Friends of Biddle is commit­ted to answering these needs.

Under the leadership of Sylvan M. Cohen, Chairman of the Friends of Biddle annual campaign, an Advisory Council has been formed to bring the Library to the attention of alumni and other interested donors. Friends of Biddle is prepared to meet the Library's future demands by continu­ing to build a strong base for the purchase of books.

A Special Place Thomas Ehrlich

Provost

L ibraries are special places and the Biddle Law Library is a special library. The ideas and actions recorded in libraries enable planning for the future to build on experiences of the past Over the next 100 years- as in the last- the Biddle Law Library will have a

central role in legal education, legal scholarship, and legal practice. We have come a long way from the time when Christopher Columbus Langdell compared

law libraries to the laboratories of scientists. But libraries still are focal points for law schools to a greater extent than is true for most other professional schools. Fortunately, the Biddle Law Library has grown and developed over the last century. Our challenge is to ensure that the Library gains the resources required to meet substantial challenges in the future. The Library faces acute needs to enhance its collections, its services, and its facilities. With your help, those need& will be met

New technology is bringing remarkable shifts to the storage and retrieval of information, and law is certainly not immune from those shifts. I arn a prime advocate for bringing the new technology to all of Penn's libraries. The Biddle Law Library must be at the forefront in innovations that provide users with the best possible means for legal research, and these include a wide range of new equipment.

I am convinced, however, that books are not about to be replaced by computers or other machines, important as is the new technology. Books will, I believe, remain at the heart of the Library well past the next centennial celebration. In one of my favorite passages, Virginia Woolf wrote: "I have sometimes dreamt, at least, that when the Day of Judgment dawns and the great conquerors and lawyers and statesmen come to receive their rewards - their crowns, their laurels, their names carved indelibly upon imperishable marble - the Almighty will tum to Peter and will say, not without a certain emy when He sees us coming with our books under our arms, 'Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them here. They have loved reading."' I am not clear what rewards Virginia Woolf had in mind for lawyers. The rewards for readers however, are apparent to all who have used and enjoyed the Biddle Law Library.

THE LAW SCHOOL: A HISTORY

Libby S. Harwitz

Editor, The Law Alumni Journal

Franklin, Wilson, Hare, Sharswood, Lewis, Keedy, Roberts - all are names synonymous with the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Although the School's history ls built around those figures, many probably are unaware of a persistent group whose strong desire to study law led to the creation of a center of legal learning in Philadelphia

Nearly a decade ago, The Law Alumni Journal chronicled the School's beginnings and its development to 1977. At thls lOOth anniversary milestone of the Biddle Law Library, we again reflect on the growth and changes which have established the University of Pennsylva­nia Law School as one of thls Nation's premier institutions for legal education.

B enjamin Franklin's ingenious and creative eye recognized the need for a local institution of higher learning. At that time, advanced education was available abroad or in the more-established colonies. In 1755, Franklin succeeded in chartering "the

Academie and Charitable School" which, in 1789, became the University of Pennsylvania. The Law Department was established in 1790. Credit for its inception goes to a group of

"young gentlemen - not of the college - who had joined together to study law for their mutual improvement." A committee consisting of Charles Willing Hare, Edward Shippen and James Wilson considered "the propriety and utility of establishing a law professorship". Mr. Wilson presented a curriculum plan to the University Trustees seeting forth courses "to furnish a rational and an useful entertainment to assist in forming the legislator, the magis­trate, and the lawyer".

Rear of the Law School, 1906 Courtesy University of Pennsylvania Archives

James Wilson, a statesman "well versed in areas ranging from classics to oratory", a leader at the Philadelphia Bar, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a framer of Pennsylva­nia's Constitution and, subsequently, an Associate Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, became the first Lecturer and Professor of Law. His first lecture was delivered on December 15, 1790 at "The Academy" on Fourth Street below Arch, an event which attracted a prominent audience including President and Mrs. Washington, members of the Cabinet and the Houses of Congress, the judges of the courts and "many of the women who led the brilliant society of the little Capital". Expecting a sober group to listen to his "quiet homily upon the law'', Mr. Wilson was startled to find himself addressing the creme de Ia societe. A series of interruptions in Wilson's subsequent lectures, together with a decrease in student attend­ance, prevented both the completion of the Course and, as a result, the conferring of degrees during the Wilson Professorship.

The Wilson Chair remained vacant from 1791 until 1817 when, again, after student prod­ding, Charles Willing Hare was elected Law Professor by the University Trustees. Hare delivered one course but, shortly afterward, became "incapacitated mentally" - again frus­trating another effort to advance legal education in Pennsylvania.

The Law Department was virtually nonexistent until 1832 when student persistence, again in the form of a strong petition to the University Trustees, urged the School's revival. The appeal was ignored despite the presence of signatures such as Biddle and Chew, Ingersoll and Cadwalader, Sergeant and Hopkinson.

It was 20 years later, in 1850, that the University Trustees elected the Honorable George Sharswood as Professor of Law. His first lecture, delivered on September 30, 1850, marked the true birthdate of the Department of Law. At this time, Trustees, students and Professor Sharswood were ready to share the commitment to establish a secure and lasting institute for the study of law. The School grew rapidly, prompting the increase in professorships and the appointment of Sharswood as Dean. But for the Civil War and its effect on attendance, the School flourished for ten years. Judge Sharswood remained Dean until his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1868, when E. Spencer Miller assumed the Deanship until 1872 at which time Edward Coppee Mitchell became Dean until 1887.

In 1871, Carrie S. Burnham Kilgore, the School's first woman applicant, applied for but was denied admission to the Department After a ten-year struggle in the Pennsylvania Courts, she

24

entered the School in 1881, receiving her Bachelor of Laws degree in 188.3. The Law Department has been headquartered at "The Academy", Fourth Street below Arch

(1790-1802), at "The Presidential Mansion" (1802-1829), at "The Arts Building", Ninth and Otestnut Streets (1829-187.3), at Congress Hall, Sixth and Chestnut Streets (1895-1900), at College Hall, on the University of Pennsylvania Campus (187.3-1888) and, finally, at .34th and Chestnut Streets (1900-the present).

In 1887, George Tucker Bispham was elected Dean. At that time, two additional professor­ships were instituted and the Biddle Law Ubrruy was established. Bispham was succeeded in 1888 by G. Stuart Patterson when, during his Deanship, the two-year course ofinstruction was increased to three years, a necessary addition if the School was to be competitive with other law schools in the country.

In 1896, William Draper Lewis became the first full-time Dean. The School officially assumed publication of the American Law Register in 1897 which eventually became The University of Pennsylvania Law Review. On Februruy 21, 1900, the neo-Oeorgian building of the Law Department of the University of Pennsylvania, at the comer of .34th and Chestnut Streets, was dedicated in the presence of three thousand guests - among them Oliver Wendell Holmes and William Howard Taft. William Draper Lewis held the Deanship unti11914 and was succeeded by William E. Mikell. In 1915, a college degree was made mandatory for admission to the School. Herbert F. Goodrich served as Dean from 1929 to 1940; his strong organizational abilities as well as those of Edwin R Keedy, the Dean from 1941-45, brought the School through the trying war years. Earl G. Harrison was Dean from 1945-1948 and was followed by former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts, whose Deanship lasted three years. Professor Paul W. Bruton filled in as Acting Dean for one year prior to the appointment of Dean Jefferson B. Fordham, who remained in the Office from 1952-1970. It was during the Fordham Deanship that the School experienced considerable curriculum changes as well as growth in the physical plant The dining hall and the residence dormitories were built in 1958 and 1959; the original main building was renovated in 1969. From 1970-1975, Law School Professor Bernard \\Oifrnan, '48, was Dean. Former dean of the Yale Law School, Louis H. Pollak, assumed the Deanship in 197 5 until his elevation to the Federal Bench in 1978. Covey T. Oliver, Ferdinand Wakeman Hubbell Professor of Law, served as Acting Dean from Sep­tember 1978 to January 1979 prior to the appointment as Dean of Law School Professor, James 0. Freedman who, in 1982 became President of the University of Iowa. Robert H. Mundheim, University Professor of Law and Finance, ~d the Dean since Februruy 1982, has instituted numerous innovative programsand curricular changes such as the First-year Course in Professional Responsibility and the Legal Profession.

Present enrollment at the law School approximates 7 40 full time students. The core Faculty numbers about thirty full time members of the rank of assistant professor and above. There are six Clinical Faculty members, two Senior Fellows, thirty-two acljunct Faculty and nineteen third-year students who train first-year and Master of Law students in legal research and writing. The Faculty also includes two economists, a criminologist, and a psychiatrist who hold joint appointments at the Law School and at the University of Pennsylvania.

There are approximately 7.300 living Penn Law Alumni/ae, located in all of the United States and in forty-five foreign countries, engaged in the practice of law and represented in the judiciruy, in academia, in various branches of the government and in the upper echelons of the business community.

The University of Pennsylvania Law School's struggle from a one-professor institution in 1790 to an operation of its present magnitude was slow and, at times, tenuous. It is now certain that the School's first two hundred formative years have served as a strong foundation for its entrance into the 1\venty-First Century.

LAW ALUMNI DAY 1986 Featuring

Senator Bill Bradley and

Professor Noyes Leech The Law Alumni Society's Annual Law

Alumni Day, held on April 11, 1986, was an occasion for appreciation and celebration.

In a moving ceremony held during the Annual Meeting, Professor Noyes E. Leech, '48, about to retire from the Law School at the close of the school year after thirty-seven years of teaching, was presented - by Dean Robert H. Mundheim - the Society's coveted Distinguished Service Award created "to recognize the achievements of present or past Faculty members or Alumni whose profes­sional careers demonstrate those qualities of character, intellect and social and professional responsibility which the Law School nur­tures.'' Professor Leech was given a Distin­guished Service Scroll and a miniature stone and iron replica of Hsieh-Chai , the Law School Goat . (Dean Mundheim's Award pre­sentation speech and Professor Leech's accep­tance appear next in this issue of The journal).

Following a cocktail reception in The Great Hall, the Law Alumni Day speaker, United States Senator Bill Bradley of the State of New Jersey was introduced by the President of the Law Alumni Society, Clive S, Cummis,'52. The Senator, in an engaging, informative speech, discussed Thx Reform and Thx Policy -defending the proposed Fair Thx Act. A staunch supporter of bi-partisan tax reform and an active lobbiest for the new tax reform proposal, Senator Bradley stated what recent­ly has become fact: "Don't get too attached

to our current tax code because, even though I may be in the minority, I still believe it will soon be changed, and we will get tax reform in 1986. I remember, in 1982 , when I intro­duced tax reform and people laughed. Well, here we are today with a Republican Presi­dent of the United States going way out on a limb to support tax reform proposals that drop the tax rate dramatically and broaden the tax base.'' Senator Bradley fielded ques­tions from a most appreciative audience.

Dinner was followed by the Law Alumni Day Program presided over by Society Presi­dent Cummis who presented the Distiguished Service Award Scroll to Professor Leech with the comment: "Noyes, as one of your former students and on behalf of every student that you taught, thank you for the impact you had on all of us.' ' In appreciation of her ·'ex­emplary service to the Law Alumni Society over the years," former Society President, E. Barclay Cale, 'Jr., 62, awarded a University of Pennsylvania ceremonial platter to Alice B. Lonsdorf, the Assistant Dean for Alumni Affairs, who left the Law School in July. Recognition was made by Eleanor M. Illoway, '83, the co-chair of the LL.M./Alumni Friend­ship Program, of the lOOth Anniversary of the conferring of the LL.M. degree at the Law School. A plaque commemorating the event was presented to Dean Robert H. Mundheirn and to the Law School by the 1986 LL.M . Class. Dean Mundheirn offered the evening's closing remarks.

Presentation of the Law Alumni Society's Distinguished service Award to Professor Noyes E. Leech

by Dean Robert H. Mundheim

The Distinguished Service Award is the highest honor that the Law Alumni Society can bestow - an honor not given lightly. In the eighteen years since the Award's creation, it has been given only ten times - the last in 1981 to [The Honorable] Arlin [M.] Adams ['4 7], the present Chairman of the Law School's Board of Overseers. Noyes Leech, today's honoree, richly deserves the Award, and I am honored to have been asked by the Law Alumni Society to present it to him.

Noyes is a true red-and-blue. He graduated from the College in 1943 and from the Law School in 1948. Although this is not a prere­quisite to getting the Distinguished Service Award, Noyes like judge Adams (as well as other Award recipients), was elected Editor-in­Chief of The University of Pennsylvania Law Review in his third-year of law school. With a short time out for the private practice of law in the Philadelphia firm of Dechert, Price & Rhoads, Noyes has spent almost all of his professional career at the Law School.

In a quiet understated way, Noyes Leech has been a powerful force in the Law School and at the University. I would like to talk about Noyes 's importance to us. One must begin by recounting his qualities as a teacher. The Law Alumni Society's having conferred the Distinguished Service Award on Noyes is truly an accolade from his students. A few days ago, some present and some very recent graduates of the School were reminiscing about Noyes as a teacher. They mentioned that he did not lecture but asked questions and, in their words, "let us find our own way.' ' That, to me is an important hallmark of a great educator. These Alumni also said, "he inspired us to be the best that we could be - and he cheered us on our successes.' '

This Law School always has prided itself in the scholarly attainments of its Faculty, and Noyes has made many important scholarly contributions. By that, I do not mean that Noyes published a flood of material; but, for example, his article on sale of control entitled ''Transactions in Corporate Control,'' Volume 104, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, 725-839 (1956), was and is a classic. It con­tains a carefully balanced handling of material and a topic chosen because it poses a major question of enduring significance. Two of Noyes's major contributions to scholarship are his casebooks: one, The International Legal System, and the other, Corporations. Again, the materials in those books are not over­whelmingly long but the analytical threads are clear and concise. It is for these reasons that I found teaching from his Corporations casebook such a joy.

Of course, there is more to Noyes's bibliography than what I have briefly men­tioned. I think the piece that Noyes published in Volume 8 of The journal of Comparative Business and Capital Market Law entitled ''International Banking: Effects of Nationali­zations and Exchange Controls" is a beautiful example of a mature scholar's ability both to articulate complex issues so that they may be understood and to develop arguments with fairness, with precision and with balance. It reminds us that scholarly work differs materially from the advocate's work - a point that is not always fully appreciated in modern scholarship.

,,,..., lhis Law School always has

prided itself in the scholarly attain­ments of its Faculty, and Noyes has made many. .. contributions.''

1b a fellow faculty member, colleagueship is of primary importance. 'Teaching is essentially a lonely profession, and the support of col­leagues makes an enormous difference. I first met Noyes Leech in 1965 when I came to this Law School and, at that time, already regard­ed him as a senior member of the Faculty. (Actually, as I think about it, he was much younger than I am today). Noyes's influence on me was of great importance. I remember that his door was always open and, if I had spent time thinking about an issue, he will­ingly served as my sounding-board and as my advisor. He did not pursue me; Noyes felt that a senior colleague ought not to suffocate a junior colleague - but that he always should be there if the junior needed support. And when I gave him a draft of my article on suitablity (an emerging concept in defming the duties of brokers and dealers in securities) , he read it promptly and was ready with questions which helped me to better understand the problem with which I was dealing. He forced me to articulate the solu­tions and the reasons for those solutions in a succinct and clear fashion so that, as Noyes likes to say, "now it sings." Noyes helped to shape my ideas; he did not lecture on his ideas.

Building a faculty is an important continu­ing item on the Law School agenda, and senior Faculty play an important role in how well that function is performed. Looking at what can properly be called ."the Leech pro­ducts'' - Noyes's contributions to the Faculty appointments process: Reitz, Freedman, Gor­man, Mundheim and, that youngster in Law School years, Aronstein - one can agree that it is a formidable list. Building a faculty also means serving on appointments committees,

reading the scholarly works of others and being willing to make difficult decisions even if it is more comfortable to go along with popular sentiment. Noyes chaired the Ap­pointments Committee of this Law School in 1959-60, 1961-62, 1963-64, 1976-77 and 1981-82. He served as a member of that crucial Committee for more years than could possibly be demanded of a Faculty member. The fact that dean-after-dean asked Noyes to se1ve on the Appointments Committee is a testament to the confidence in his judgment which each of the Deans felt. jeff Fordham asked Noyes to chair so many committees during his deanship that he simply called him "Mr. Chairman".

The University, also, has turned to Noyes when it needed wise counsel and balanced leadership. The Faculty elected him Chairman of the University Senate; he served on two major University task forces on University Governance - one which formalized the facul­ty's consultative role concerning appoint­ments to various positions within the Univer­sity, and the other which worked out pro­cedures for tenure review.

Noyes has served the Law School in other ways: He is the co-founder of the Interna­tional Faculty for Corporate and Capital Market Law - a group of seventeen academics from nine countries who have usually met at least once a year for the last twelve years. Out of the work of this group, including its organization of a series of conferences on major issues in corporate law, securities regulation and the law governing financial in­stitutions, there developed a need to establish a journal to publish the writings of the Inter­national Faculty and others. Noyes and a col­league founded The journal of Compmative Business and Capital Market Law and both served as its general editors. That journal, which will be known as The journal of Inter­national Business Law, is publishing its eighth volume and has become very much a fiXture at this Law School. With over forty members on its Board of Editors, it serves as a second law review at the Law School, and makes an important contribution to the School's intellectual liveliness. The new Editor-in-Chief of The journal has just an­nounced that an issue of Volume 8 will be dedicated to Noyes Leech, the highest tribute which The journal can bestow.

I would like to mention one more matter which is of particular importance to the Law Alumni Society - and that is the Gilbert and Sullivan tradition. That tradition, too, has an important link to Noyes Leech. Some time ago, Bob Gorman wanted to provide an op­portunity for students and faculty to serenade the Law School during Christmas time. Bob went to his colleague, Professor Leech, and asked ''How can we get it done?'' That was the moment of conception for the Airs-At-

Law. That group of serenaders was greeted with such resounding success that the Gorman-Leech team produced a concert for the spring which included a medley of songs from Trial By jury. Student enthusiasm for the concerts evolved into our annual Gilbert and Sullivan productions. The Law Alumni Society, of course, has been a prime supporter of the Gilbert and Sullivan tradition at the Law School. How typical that Noyes Leech is so bound up with a tradition of which we, in the Alumni Society, are so fond.

All of us at this Law School are proud of its special qualities. These qualities, however, are not products of accident; they result from the efforts of individuals who shape this institu­tion , and they are individuals who care deep­ly about the Law School and about the values that it should foster. In my twenty years at this Law School, I never have known anyone who cared more about the Law School than Noyes Leech. Thus, it seems to me entirely appropriate that the Law Alumni Society should recognize a career devoted to this Law School by honoring Noyes E. Leech as the 11th recipient of the Distinguished Service Award.

Let me now read the citation: "His distinguished service as an internationally­recognized scholar and teacher and as a wise and concerned colleague whose energy, im­agination and advice have made the Law School and the University more effective educational institutions, reflects the quality of character, intellect and responsibility which the Law School community cherishes.'· Noyes Leech , it gives me great pleasure to present to you Hsieh-Chai, the Law School Goat, the symbol of the Law Alumni Society's Jll Distinguished Service Award.

APPRECIATION by

Professor

Noyes E. Leech

Bob, it is ve1y good that I am about ready to retire. Having gone through this moving experience, I will not be fit to live with for a long time.

I am immensely honored to be a member of that special group of Law Alumni Society Dis­tinguished Service Award recipients. Frankly, I was anxious to be here today to learn just what it was that I had done to deserve the Award. But, as I said to Louise earlier, all they really can say is that I was doing my job. And that is just what it was!

COMMENCEMENT The Class of 1986

School's curriculum while contributing to the community of which [we] have been a part. [Our] families have ... the right to beam with pride on this - graduation day ... The people who [comprise] Penn Law are a special group who made Law Scho<'ll an almost humane ex­perience. The graduates of the Class of 1986

I appreciate this Award so much because it is a symbol of Alumni appreciation of the fullness of what is required of a law professor who teaches at this University. Our society has given institutions like the University of Pennsylvania and this Law School the right to be self-guardians and,in many ways, to set their own standards. This is accomplished by members of the Faculty who assume respon­sibilities beyond those of being in the classroom and of producing articles and books. I must confess, however, that there were times when I felt that I taught for fun and for .free, and that the Law School paid me to be on the Appointments Committee! But seriously, we all do these things. We all serve on the Appointments Committee; we all form the curriculum and beat it into shape each year - constantly considering and revising it. We -all of us - are concerned with matters of Placement and of the Library. We - all of us -

The mellow strains of brass playing Elgar set the tone for what was a perfect Com­mencement celebration on Monday, May 19, 1986.

Dean Robert H. Mundheim welcomed the gathering and introduced jay S. Silver who, as the representative of his fellow LL.M. gradu­ate students, expressed gratitude for the University of Pennsylvania Law School ex­perience for the year 1985-86.

Class President, Patty Shwartz, in an ad­dress to her colleagues and their families, the Law School Faculty and the invited guests, noted that " the Class of 1986 has been characterized as a positive and forward­looking group of people. Apathy will not keep us down. [We are] ... bright, energetic, and imaginative individuals ... academically, artis­tically and athletically talented. [We] have successfully completed the rigours of the Law

may some day admit that, if they had to at­tend a law school [to achieve their goals]. they were glad that they [chose] Penn."

Dean Mundheim then conferred Law School Honorary Fellowship on Millard C. Farmer, Esquire, of Atlanta, Georgia who, "Since Continued on Page 11

read files for Admissions. The life of a law professor is far beyond what one thinks of as the responsibilities of a teacher. And it is because of these reasons that I truly ap­preciate this Award because it symbolizes the recognition of just these factors.

As I mentioned before, I am close to retire­ment. In taking present stock of the Law School, I feel good about it. The School has an Administration which is looking forward -not just to its day-to-day needs. The School has a brilliant Faculty - it is young and it is glittering. It has a remarkable and outstand­ing student body - I like to think of it sometimes as a group of thoroughbred race horses. Finally, I would like to say that this Law School has you, Ladies and Gentlemen -a loving Alumni body. Thank you very much.

Your work, sometimes . done at personal risk, has saved the lives of innocent people sentenced to execution and has sensitized polarized communities to basic concepts of fairness in its justice system. Your work has reformed courtroom procedures, community attitudes and the law. Your holistic interdisciplinary approach, combining client representation, community organization and education, and social science research is a model of creativity in lawyering for our pro­fession. \1\e hold you in esteem and commend your example to the generation of lawyers who go forth from this School."

Mr. Farmer's provocative acceptance speech was followed by comments from Honorary Member of the Class of 1986, The Honorable Morris S. Arnold, of the United States District Court for the \!\estern District of Arkansas, formerly a Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

Clyde W. Summers, the jefferson B. Ford­ham Professor of Law, the choice of the Class of 1986 for the Harvey Levin Memorial Award for 'leaching Excellence then addressed the Commencement gathering.

Assistant Dean Alice B. Lonsdorf and Vice­Dean Margo Post Marshak presented the Class of 1986 to Dean Robert H. Mundheim, who awarded diplomas. A reception in honor of the Class of · 86 and their families followed graduation ceremonies. Jll
