  • In 1954 Gaylord P. Harnwell, a Haverford graduate, chairman of the Physics department at Penn and an atomic physicist, was appointed the new university president and who had procured a decidedly more academic stature than Stassen.


    During the mid-forties Harnwell had presided over the California Division of War Research in San Diego. Harnwell had also been instrumental in reorganizing the research programs at Penn after the Second World War and had been recognized by the military with the Medal of Merit for contributions for "war-time" developments in physics. There would be no better man to represent an academic school to the Ivy League or as a military research specialist to the government who had been funding Penn (particularly the Physics department) during the war.


    Luckily for the University and its image, Harnwell was a very quick and able worker and even before his appointment as president, the new physics, mathematics, and astronomy building was being constructed at a cost of $2,700,000 at 33rd and Walnut Streets. Prior to the president's arrival, Penn was well on its way to research and academic status.
