The Penn Law School has named a newly renovated lecture hall and adjoining seminar room in honor of Harold Cramer, L’51 and his wife, Geraldine, who have established a multimillion-dollar bequest intention to support the renovation of Silverman Hall and future projects. Cramer Lecture Hall, a 45-seat teaching space, and the adjacent Cramer Seminar Room are located on the second floor of Silverman Hall.
Dean Michael A. Fitts formally announced the Cramer Hall naming at the School’s Benefactors’ Dinner. “We’re enormously grateful to the Cramers for their gift,” Dean Fitts said. “Harold is a Penn Law and Philadelphia icon. His footprint on his alma mater and on the legal profession in Philadelphia has been enormous.”
At Penn, Mr. Cramer co-founded the prestigious Roberts Lecture, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. Mr. Cramer is a past president of the Law School’s Alumni Society. His wife, a past Board member of the National Museum of American Jewish History, has been involved in numerous philanthropic activities.
