4609. The First 125 Years An Illustrated History of The Georgetown University Law Center (read 20 Aug 2009) I am unable to say why I have not read this history of Georgetown Law School before now, since I have owned the book for sometime, but as soon as I noticed it I knew I would have to read it. It tells a fascinating story, one that anyone who went to Georgetown Law will find absorbingly interesting. Since I graduated in 1955, my time is in what this book labels "The Formative Years." The first part of the book is called "the Founding Years" and covers the school from 1870 to 1920, and the third section is called "The Modern Era" and covers the period from 1961 to 1995. The book is not unfailingly commendatory to the school, especially when dealing with the years before 1961. But anyone who has attended Georgetown Law will be proud of much which is set out in the book, I found the book unable to be put down until I had read it all. ( )
