Text of the Plaque
In Honor Of

W. EDWARD SELL

BUILDER...TEACHER....SCHOLAR

W. Edward Sell joined the faculty of the School of Law in 1947 and served as a full-time Professor of Law longer than any other person in the history of the School. His personal vision as Dean (1966-1977) led to the construction of the present Law Building and to the enhanced national reputation of the School.

Great teachers touch the future. Ed not only touched, but shaped the future with his dedication, love of the law and sense of deep commitment to all those who labored and learned with him. His impact on the Pitt Law School, on generations of law students and on the legal profession is indelible and will live in perpetuity.

On the occasion of his retirement from the faculty and appointment as Emeritus Distinguished Service Professor of Law, the alumni, faculty and staff of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law hereby express their admiration, their appreciation and their friendship.

May 1994
