HON. HARRY N. ROUTZOHN WILL REPRESENT NATION AT ANNIVERSARY SYMPOSIUM Ron. H arry N. Routzohn, representative of the Third Ohio district to the Con­ gress of the United Sta tes, will represent the na tion at the Symposium to be held in the Stadium, Saturday afternoon, June 8, commemorating the 90th Anni­ versary of the University. Congressman Routzohn's selection is a particularly happy one, in that he is a native Daytonian, is a former professor of law ( 1924 through 1929) at the Uni­ v e r ~ i ty and is the father of Norman E. Routzohn, LL.B., '28. Elected in 1938, Mr. Routzohn has distinguished him elf in the House of Rep· resenta tives through his work on the following committee :World War Veterans' Legisla tion, Pensions, and Revisions of the Laws. His column, "With Your Con­ gressman in Washington," runs weekly in the Dayton Journal and is popularl y received. Mr. Routzohn has always had a warm spot in his heart for the U niversity of Dayton. During his present incumbency he has been the donor of many gifts to the Albert Emanuel library. These gifts take the form of books produced by the Government. His last visit to the campus was in the summer of 1939, a t which time he addressed the cadets and specta tors in a ttendance at the Pershing Rifle HON. HARRY N.
