SEMINAR ROOM TO BE NAMED IN MEMORY OF WALTER ALESSANDRONI At a ceremony held at the Law School on Jan­ uary 6, 1967, a Seminar Room was dedicated to the memory of the late Attorney General Walter E.

Dea11 Fordham Honored by Joint Law Alumni Boards

To begin with, it was an historic evening, because it was the first joint session of the Law Trustees and the Board of Managers of the Law Alumni Society. But it was also an occasion fashioned in fraud and deceit­ designed to lure Jefferson B. Fordham to the Philadel­ phia Club that December night for the transaction of important non-existent business. The real purpose of the meeting, of course, was to express their affection, evi­ dence their pride, and convey honor upon him. Fifteen years ago this summer, Jefferson B.

Conference on Mutual Funds Sponsored by Law School

On Thursday and Friday, February 9 and 10, 1967, the Joint Committee on Continuing Legal Educa­ tion of the American Law Institute and the American Bar Association joined with the Law School in sponsor­ ing the University of Pennsylvania Law School Confer­ ence on Mutual Funds. This two-day panel discussion, held in the Annenberg School of Communications Audi­ torium, was conceived and organized by Professor Robert H. Mundheim of the Law School. The confer­ ence was primarily devoted to a discussion of the im­ portant aspects of the recently released Security and Exchange Commission report on mutual funds, "Public Policy Implications of Investment Company Matters." Professor Mundheim, who was formerly Associate Spe­ cial Counsel to the SEC on Investment Company Mat­ ters, and who had spent a year and a half working on this report while with the SEC, served as moderator throughout the conference. This conference provided the scene for the first public discussion of the issues involved in the SEC's re­ port on mutual funds.

the form that it now has. He then had it cast in bronze, • • finished that casting, and shipped it to this country. It arrived prior to Mr. Mitchell's return and one of his sculptor friends mounted it on the present stone. When Mr. Mitchell returned, he decided the mounting was too low and constructed the heavy platform to raise it to eye level. The background of the plaque itself is of interest. The Chinese inscription on the plaque was drafted and designed by Dr. Derk Bodde, professor of Chinese, Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania. He next enlisted the aid of Mrs. Nancy Cheng, who handles the Chinese collection in the University of Pennsylvania Van Pelt Library, and she arranged for the writing of the Chinese characters in Shanghai by her father-in-law, who is well-known in this art. Dr. Bodde then arranged for a photograph of the Chinese and English inscription to be sent to Hong Kong toM.

The plaque was completed at a fraction of the cost of one done in the United States, and was returned here to be placed beside the goat.

HSIEH-CHAI (Syeh-Jai) The inscription on the plaque above gives some­ thing of the historical background of the Law School goat pictured on the front cover of this issue. It was thought that alumni might be interested in how it hap­ pened to come to the Law School and who made it. In 1961 , when the construction of the new build­ ing was under way, the furniture-buying committee had a little money earmarked for furniture in the place where the goat now stands. The thought was projected by one member of the committee, Professor Clarence Morris, that furniture in that particular area would, in all likeli­ hood, become abused and unsightly and that therefore perhaps some sculpture would be more suitable. The idea for the goat, Hsieh-Chai, had occured to Mr. Morris while he was studying Chinese Law, and he asked Henry Mitchell, a sculptor friend of his, to make a model in wax about eight inches high. This model appealed to those involved and sufficient funds were raised for the project from a dozen or so contrib­ utors. Mr. Mitchell, prominent Philadelphia sculptor, was then commissioned to make the statue and went to Milan, Italy in the fall of 1961, where he works at a large foundry, Battalia, where many sculptors have studios and the service of a large organization.
