A brief history such as this can list names and record chronicled events but it cannot, by itself, resurrect the countless memories and recollections so intimately entwined with one's personal ex- periences and associations with the law school. The primary task belongs to each individual alumnus, the object of our dedication and travail. We can but hope to be a catalyst in this process. The first law school in New York State, Albany Law was established in 1851 by Amos Dean, Ira Harris and Amasa |. Parker at the north- east corner of State Street and Broadway in Albany. A one-year law course was offered to the initial class of twenty-three students. It was not until 1898-1899 that a two-year curriculum was introduced, and in 1910 the now traditional three-year program was begun. The nineteenth century produced more than its fair share of out- standing alumni, including Associate justice of the United States Supreme Court David Brewer, ( lass of 1858, President of the United States William McKinley, class of 1867, and 1904 Presidential Can- didate Alton B. Parker, class of 1872. Quality graduates continued in abundance as Robert Jackson of the c lass of 1912 was appointed Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, serving his country and its law most admirably in that lofty position. Meanwhile the fledgling law school itself began an itinerant journey through the City of Albany, seemingly destined to reflect the change and progress of the community it chose to serve. From its original home at the site of the old Post Office, the Law School moved in fairly rapid succession to State and Green Streets, then to Eagle Street across from the former police headquarters near the foot of the now-emerging South Mall Lower, and from there to the Universalis! Church at 2.T9 State Street at the site of the present State Office Building where it remained until 1925. The modern era of Albany Law School began in 1929 at its spanking 0 new edifice on New Scotland Avenue, after a brief existence on Lan- caster Street. The present structure was enhanced by the addition of two new wings and modernization of facilities completed in 1969. The Alumni Section of the VERDICT '71 offers ample evidence that our predecessors, as governors, senators, judges at every level, and men of law.in virtually every walk of life, have surpassed the ambitions, hopes, and dreams of the founders and those who have guided the school through its infant years. Now we, the ( lass of 1971, are ready to embark upon our individual paths in an attempt to create a better world. We know we have been given the means to achieve this goal through our legal training and traditions. We trust that the next fifty years will vindicate our efforts. Edward |. Kennedy
