Some might notice new food op- tions. Others might notice the parks in the area. Others still might see more signs advertising leasing opportunities in the condo buildings popping up. “The neighborhood keeps growing and growing. Every day it seems like something new is going up,” said Olivia Logan, a local resident and assistant manager at The Big Stick, a restaurant and bar down the street from the base- ball stadium.

    NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LINGUISTIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1924 TO 1950 MARTIN JOOS for JENNIE MAE JOOS FORE\\ORO It is important for the reader of this document to know how it came to be written and what function it is intended to serve. In the early 1970s, when the Executive Committee and the Committee on Pub1ications of the linguistic Society of America v.ere planning for the observance of its Golden Anniversary, they decided to sponsor the preparation of a history of the Society's first fifty years, to be published as part of the celebration. The task was entrusted to the three living Secretaries, J M. Cowan{who had served from 1940 to 1950), Archibald A. Hill {1951-1969), and Thomas A. Sebeok {1970-1973). Each was asked to survey the period of his tenure; in addition, Cowan,who had learned the craft of the office from the Society's first Secretary, Roland G. Kent {deceased 1952),was to cover Kent's period of service. At the time, CO'flal'\was just embarking on a new career. He therefore asked his close friend Martin Joos to take on his share of the task, and to that end gave Joos all his files. Joos then did the bulk of the research and writing, but the~ conferred repeatedly, Cowansupplying information to which Joos v.t>uldnot otherwise have had access. Joos and HiU completed their assignments in time for the planned publication, but Sebeok, burdened with other responsibilities, was unable to do so. Since the Society did not wish to bring out an incomplete history, the project was suspended.

  • A Guide to the Records of the Mayor and City Council at the Baltimore City Archives
    Governing Baltimore: A Guide to the Records of the Mayor and City Council at the Baltimore City Archives William G. LeFurgy, Susan Wertheimer David, and Richard J. Cox Baltimore City Archives and Records Management Office Department of Legislative Reference 1981 Table of Contents Preface i History of the Mayor and City Council 1 Scope and Content 3 Series Descriptions 5 Bibliography 18 Appendix: Mayors of Baltimore 19 Index 20 1 Preface Sweeping changes occurred in Baltimore society, commerce, and government during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From incorporation in 1796 the municipal government's evolution has been indicative of this process. From its inception the city government has been dominated by the mayor and city council. The records of these chief administrative units, spanning nearly the entire history of Baltimore, are among the most significant sources for this city's history. This guide is the product of a two year effort in arranging and describing the mayor and city council records funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. These records are the backbone of the historical records of the municipal government which now total over three thousand cubic feet and are available for researchers. The publication of this guide, and three others available on other records, is preliminary to a guide to the complete holdings of the Baltimore City Archives scheduled for publication in 1983. During the last two years many debts to individuals were accumulated. First and foremost is my gratitude to the staff of the NHPRC, most especially William Fraley and Larry Hackman, who made numerous suggestions regarding the original proposal and assisted with problems that appeared during the project.

  • The Mayor and the President by George W. Liebmann
    The Mayor and the President by George W. Liebmann This symposium has unlikely origins. It was in some measure prompted by a recent speech before the Supreme Court Historical Society by the celebrated Professor John Yoo. By way of demonstrating that the policies relating to detention and interrogation with which he is identified were consonant with American traditions, Professor Yoo delivered an address contending that the Merryman and Milligan cases were aberrations, what Justice Frankfurter called in another context, “derelicts on the waters of the law”. He alleged that “Merryman remains unknown to almost all but those scholars who toil in the academic fields of the separation of powers or the early days of the Civil War.”1 Merryman of course is better known than that. It was the subject of a centennial symposium in the federal district court for Maryland in 1961, addressed by William L. Marbury, Chief Judge Roszel C. Thomsen and Taney’s biographer H.H.Walker Lewis.2 It figures prominently in a number of books on executive power in wartime by such as Carl Brent Swisher (1974)3, Clinton Rossiter (1945)4, Frederick Bernays Wiener (1940)5 and Charles Warren (1935)6 that you will not find prominently cited in the recent writings of Professor Yoo, as well as in Chief Justice Rehnquist’s book on the subject.7 In 1961, executive detention without trial was not a burning issue. It is now. There is a vast literature, and there is therefore no excuse for another redundant discussion. The remarks of all three speakers today will therefore focus on unpublished documents by or about the contending 1 protagonists.

  • News and Notes From
    News and Notes From The PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY JANUARY 1974 Vol. II, No. 1 VOLUME II With this, the January issue of News and Notes, we begin our second year of publication. When the first issue appeared last March we were uncertain as to whether a second one would see the light of day. However an enthusiastic response from our readers brought encouragement for further effort. Although the production of News and Notes has been largely a singular effort, your editor desires to take note of efforts put forth by individual members. Regular contributions by Paul Lanham and Ted Bissell have added greatly to the general scope of this publication. In addition, the general knowledge and contacts of Susanna Cristofane, Orva Heissenbuttel, John Brennan, James Shreve and James Wilfong have provided information on current happenings on the local scene. These and many others have, hopefully, made News and Notes more interesting for our readers. Also, we are indebted to our Corresponding Secretary, Edith Bagot. The added burden of circularizing the membership 12 times per year, instead of the usual eight times, has been cheerfully accepted. We are indeed thankful. In our effort to build a staff to produce News and Notes in the future, we have asked for volunteers. We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Leslie (Betty) Tichnor of District Heights will be contributing to the publication on a regular basis in the future. We hope that others will join us to help improve the quality and scope of our efforts. As always, we solicit the contributions and comments of all of our readers.

  • The History of the Baltimore City Solicitors
    THE HISTORY OF THE BALTIMORE CITY SOLICITORS by ∗ Dan Friedman The history of the legal officers of the City of Baltimore should be viewed in three distinct phases: (1) an early, informal period from 1797 to 1864; (2) an intermediate period from 1864 to 1898 during which the City was represented by two separate legal officers, the City Counsellor and the City Solicitor; and (3) the modern period, from 1898 to present, during which the office of City Solicitor attained its current position as legal advisor, policy-maker, and head of the Baltimore City Department of Law. The following article describes the development of the office of the City Solicitor, as well as presents limited professional biographies of many who have served the citizens of Baltimore in this capacity. 1. The Early City Counsellors (1797 to 1864) Although Baltimore City received its first charter in 1797, the first reference that we have found to a permanent legal officer for the City is in 1822. The City’s Annual Report for that year lists John Scott, Esq. as “Counsel for the City.” By 1838, George Gordon Belt is identified as “Attorney and Counsellor for the City.” This function was gradually formalized into the position ∗ Attorney, Saul, Ewing LLP, Baltimore Maryland. From 2000-2002, Mr. Friedman served as chief of litigation for the Baltimore City Department of Law. Mr. Friedman wishes to thank the current Baltimore City Solicitor, Thurman W. Zollicoffer, Jr. for his support and encouragement of this project. Thanks also to Mr. Frank Bender for catching and correcting an error.

Berger* and Bryant S. Green** Since before the civil war, lawyers and judges in Baltimore have had a tendency to organize informal, intimate, and exclusive clubs for the purpose of promoting congeniality and scholarship.1 Although this Anglo-American tradition traces back to as early as the sixteenth century,2 the institution of law clubs in the United States appears to have been a unique, local phenomenon until the 1960s and 1970s.3 Today, this tradition continues in Baltimore City, which currently plays host to no fewer than eight individual law clubs, with many more existing throughout the state.

  • Advance Sheet– September 18, 2020
    ADVANCE SHEET– SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 Bar Library Membership: Now More Than Ever Dear Members and Members To Be, Perhaps at no time since the founding of the Library in 1840 has a Bar Library membership carried with it the significance that it does this year. As a result of the current pandemic, all of us have had to make adjustments to the manner in which we do things, as old methods of thought and action have been cut off from us. The Library is no exception. Although we were closed to in person usage for a number of months, thanks to the leadership and actions of Chief and Administrative Judge Carrion, the Library was able to provide our members with material they literally could not get anywhere else, through utilization of e-mail and curbside pick-up. We were one of the few, perhaps the only, law library not to have ceased operations even for a day. If you, like many others are still hesitant to venture forward, we continue to use these methods to deliver material to our members. Although we like having you here, as they say on those school raffle tickets “need not be present to win,” or as in our case, to get what you need. Although nothing can compare to the loss of human life, the economic impact of what has transpired over the past months has been devastating. The legal profession has not been immune from what has transpired. For many years I have spoken of the economic soundness of a Bar Library membership.
