Always
Changing,
Always
Wharton
By Elisa Ludwig
Returning alumni see changes in Wharton,
whether they are returning after five years
or 80.
Before group study rooms, cohorts, learning
simulations and the core curriculum,
there were lecture-driven classes with little
student discussion, professors smoking
pipes in class, and punch-card computers.
On campus for the 2005 Alumni Weekend, former
students had a chance to reflect on Wharton academics
through the past eight decades. And because
Wharton's most pervasive tradition is innovation,
even the most recent graduates reported changes to
the campus, curriculum and learning style.
