Romig Dear Alumni and Friends, Having completed my fi rst year as dean of Washburn University School of Law, it is apparent to me that the support of our alumni is critical to the success of Washburn Law. Alumni like you assist us by serving as speakers, adjunct professors, mentors, and judges for competition teams, as well as supporting our law school in numerous other ways. We had a great year, and this issue of the Washburn Lawyer will give you a brief recap of the programs Washburn Law has been involved with over the past 12 months, and an indication of what is to come. In October, we hosted our symposium on Humanizing Legal Education with nearly 100 law professors and deans from 40 law schools and three countries. In March, we had our American Bar Association/American Association of Law Schools accreditation site visit. Although we have not received the offi cial report yet, it was clear that the seven-member team was very impressed with our students, our programs, our dedicated staff and faculty, and our alumni they met. In short, they liked what they saw at Washburn University School of Law. In April, we hosted a very successful Writing to Win Symposium on Plain Language Jury Instructions. This symposium included judges, justices, and practitioners from across the country. Also in April, we had 29 alumni and two professors participate in a U.S.

  • Sertoma Club of Dayton Records
    MS-106 The Sertoma Club of Dayton Records Collection Number: MS-106 Title: The Sertoma Club of Dayton Records Dates: 1925-1997 Creator: The Sertoma Club of Dayton Summary/Abstract: The Dayton Sertoma Club traces its origins to the founding of the first Cooperative Club of Kansas City, MO, founded on April 13, 1912, by Dr. George W. Smith. Smith, in conjunction with Dr. Charles E. Allen and newspaper editor W.R. Rowe, conceived the idea of another civic service club to aid society aside from the existing Rotary clubs. Smith believed that the Cooperative Club should not just utter principles toward mankind's betterment, it should selflessly take an active, non-political role in improving society. In 1950, it was determined that the name "Cooperative" was too confusing to the public, owing to the over usage of the term. The name "Sertoma" was adopted, an acronym for "Service to Mankind." The Sertoma records consist of material relating to the affairs of the Dayton Sertoma Club as well as its activities in conjunction with various regional Sertoma clubs and Sertoma International, the top governing body in the club hierarchy. These records contain information dealing with the Dayton Sertoma Club's finances, civic programs, annual events, and the political view of some members, notably past presidents William W. Owen and Rev. Harvey Hahn. Letters, memos, news clippings, pamphlets and other documents are present in the collection. Much of the material is of a mundane nature, although this does not preclude its significance to the researcher, as it gives a fair view of the nature of Sertoma, particularly the period 1954-1975.
