    Memorials

    After his death, Georgetown University established the Marver H. Bernstein Symposium on Governmental Reform, which took place annually until 2017. It began again in 2023. The Symposium has drawn some of the most prominent figures in American politics, government, and journalism.

    • The first symposium speaker in 1994 was then Vice President Al Gore, who spoke on “The new job of the Federal Executive” and directly referenced Bernstein’s important research on this topic. [15] [16]
    • In 1997, United States Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan spoke on Secrecy as Government Regulation. [17]
    • In 1998, the speaker was American journalist, lawyer, and TV moderator Tim Russert.
    • In 2014, the speaker was United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor. [18]
    • In 2017, United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke on the need for improving the confirmation process, “recall[ing] the ‘collegiality’ and ‘civility’ of her own nomination and confirmation...” [19]
    • In 2023, United States Senator Jon Ossoff, an alumnus of Georgetown, discussed the importance of bipartisanship in the legislative branch. [20]

    As a bequeath:

    [the Georgetown University] library received from his estate...2,700 volumes and 1,000 unbound journals and government documents. The books represent a scholarly library of works on Israel and the Middle East, political science, government, economics, urban studies, history and biography, many of them now out of print. The Middle East collection contains most of the significant scholarly works in the field published in the English language during the past thirty years. [21]

    In approximately 2005, the Princeton University School of International and Public Affairs (SPIA) (formerly the Woodrow Wilson School) established the Bernstein Gallery in Robertson Hall. The gallery “presents art exhibitions to stimulate thinking about contemporary policy issues and to enable understanding the world beyond the power of words. Each year, six curated shows are presented… and…are complemented by …panel discussions with experts from Princeton University, the School and outside organizations." The exhibits are "…Integrated with the School’s multidisciplinary approach…to enhance the impact of the course curriculum and to deepen people’s commitment to the ideals of public service." [22]

    Notes

    1. Initially established as the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) in 1930 to serve undergraduates, a graduate program was added in 1948 and the school was renamed for Woodrow Wilson, the college's 13th president. However, it was not led by a dean until it moved into the newly constructed Robertson Hall in the 1960s. In 2020, in response to Woodrow Wilson's history of racism, it was renamed The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA).
    2. An LU member recalled the number being 1000 schools but the Daily Princetonian on references the 500 figure
    3. Collaborating advisors to the Liberal Student Union were Prof. Willard Thorp and Prof. H. Hubert Wilson, a civil rights activist and noted antagonist of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.
