Paul Gaston didn't come to UVA until 1957, though he might have some idea
about who might have been at the 1951 talk. Dr. Bunche spoke on 24 March
1951 at the Student Legal Forum at the Law School. Some of the faculty at
the Law School, like Dick Howard, might have some idea of someone who was
there and might still survive.
