Samuel “Bud” Diamond, W’52, L’55, a former lecturer in several departments at Penn, most notably in the general honors program, died on September 15, 2022.

Dr. Diamond received an undergraduate degree from the Wharton School in 1952 and a law degree from Penn’s Law School three years later. In 1960, he co-founded the law firm Diamond, Polsky and Bauer, where he served clients until retiring in 2010. In 1990, he returned to Penn as a faculty member—a lecturer in the department of general honors, which encompassed the University Scholars and Benjamin Franklin Scholars programs and united students from Penn’s four undergraduate schools. He lectured in this program until 2006. He also held lectureship positions in Penn Law (1993-1995) and in Penn’s Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (1995-2006).

He is survived by his wife, Miriam (nee Forman); his children, Jonathan (Sandra Itkoff), Deborah (Jonathan Block), and David (Audrey Kraus); and his grandchildren, Leo, Kidist Rose, Aaron, Eli, Hannah, Harry, and Benjamin. Contributions in his memory may be made to the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School (www.law.upenn.edu) or the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia (www.jewishphilly.org).
