“In spite of the wind and cold, Dean Rex E. Lee spoke at groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Law School Building on Law Day, May 1, 1973. On this bone-chilling, wind-whipped day the event was held in the parking lot east of the Wilkinson Center. Speakers were Sam Brewster, director of the Physical Plant Department; Elder Ezra Taft Benson of the Council of the Twelve Apostles; BYU President Dallin H. Oaks; and Dean Lee. Dean Lee, President Oaks, and Elder Benson climbed aboard a huge bulldozer as it scooped up the first earth of the excavation.” | Source: “Groundbreaking ceremonies for the J.
