在2024年韦茨曼设计学院的毕业典礼上，宾大将追授予林徽因女士一份迟到多年的建筑学学士学位，以表彰她作为中国现代建筑先驱的卓越贡献。

A century ago, the University of Pennsylvania witnessed a turning point in Chinese architecture toward internationalization. Twenty-three Chinese students were enrolled in the architecture programs here during 1918–1941, representing the largest cohort within what would later become known as the “first generation of modern architects”.Upon returning to China, these graduates founded the country’s higher education in architecture, devoted themselves to the conservation of Chinese cultural heritage, and designed many buildings of national significance.

他们的设计一方面受到宾大当年严谨的布扎教育体系的影响，另一方面积极寻求与中国传统建筑语言的创新性融合，通过实验性的创作探索属于中国的现代主义风格。

While their works were influenced by the Beaux-Arts pedagogy then-current at Penn, the architects actively sought adaptation of Chinese architectural vocabulary and, later, explored Modernism in their experimental practices as part of the nationwide effort for social progress. The international dialogues these architectural pioneers initiated continue in 21st-century China.

从二十年代至五十年代，他们设计了众多杰出作品，反映了二十世纪中国的社会变革与进步，为之后的中国建筑发展奠定基础。这些建筑先驱们开启的国际对话至今仍深具影响，而林徽因是其中具有代表性的一位。

From the late 1920s through the ‘50s, these architects’ groundbreaking practices came to fruition. Their works reflected both their rigorous architectural training at Penn and their embrace of the international Modern Movement. They paved the way for future architectural discourse,urban development, and design education in modern China.
