PROCEEDINGS OF THE 35th ANNUAL MEETING The Indiana State Bar Association Held at LAFAYETTE, INDIANA July 9th and 10th, 1931 THURSDAY MORNING, July 9th, 19311 The thirty-fifth annual meeting of the Indiana State Bar As- sociation convened at ten o'clock in the Purdue Memorial Union Building, Lafayette, Indiana, Vice-President Frank N. Richman presiding. The invocation was rendered by the Rev. William D. Graham, Pastor Central Presbyterian Church, Lafayette. Vice-President Frank N. Richman introduced Judge Harvey J. Curtis of the Appellate Court of Indiana who read a prepared memorial to President William W. Miller. IN MEMORIAM: WILLIAM W. MILLER "In the midst of life we are in death." How particularly true are these words, and how pertinent and poignant here. To those of us who walked daily with him, how tragic is the death of our esteemed brother. It has been my privilege since 1910 to know and to love him. We were reared close together but we never met until he came to Gary in 1910. Since then we have been loyal friends. We had abundant opportunity to learn and to know each other. The prac- tice of law in Gary in those early days was much like the practice 1 Due to a policy of scrupulous economy adopted by the Board of Man- agers of the Indiana State Bar Association it has been determined that the size of the Indiana Law Journal must be kept within the sixty-four pages for each issue originally decided upon. Accordingly the editor has received instructions to condense the contents of this issue and all succeeding issues within that limit. A sincere effort has been made to incorporate into this condensed report of the proceedings the substance of every important action taken by the Association. Some of the addresses delivered at the meeting are published in their entirety in this issue, others will appear in subsequent issues. It is a source of regret that every transaction of the meeting could not be reported verbatim. It is believed however that no item of important business has been neglected. In the event of such an omission the editor will be grateful if his attention is called to it at once in order that proper acknowledgment may be made in the succeeding issues of the Journal. INDIANA LAW JOURNAL in communities that grow up over night. We were pioneers. This was the life that W. W. Miller fitted into exactly. He was an idealist, "and with it all, practical, and he loved to watch and to take part in the development of our community from its crude stages to its present position. In an amazing way, he pursued his ideals and never faltered. For four years it was his ambition while he was President of the Gary Bar Association to make its influence felt, and to his ability as an organizer, and to his zeal, the Gary Bar owes its standing. I followed him as its President, and it was a mighty task to measure up. I have been requested to incorporate herein the resolutions of that Association. By an order of both the Supreme and Appellate Courts, those resolutions are spread on the record in both courts and will be published in a volume of the reports. The resolutions are as follows: RESOLUTIONS The members of the Gary Bar Association mourn the death of their friend and brother member, William W. Miller, and desire to pay tribute to his memory in grateful recognition of his untiring efforts directed toward the betterment of the profession and raising the standard of legal ethics throughout the state. The early experiences of Mr. Miller as a lawyer were in no respect different from other beginners. He came to Gary in the early days of his practice and started alone, with no money, no friends, no experience and no connections. The first years were hard and discouraging but with in- cessant work, industry and fair dealing, he gradually acquired a clientele which included many of the leading citizens of the community, whose con- stant return to his office for advice bespoke the confidence they reposed in him. For a number of years he has been known not only as one of the fore- most lawyers of the county but also as a man who loved and believed in his profession. No remark derogatory of the legal profession, whether made by laymen or lawyer, even went unchallenged. He first attracted attention with regard to his efforts and desire to raise the standard of the profession when he became president of the Gary Bar Association, which office he held for a period of four years. Because of his splendid service rendered to his local association, he soon became known throughout the State and his activities were brought to the attention of the Indiana State Bar Associaion. In 1928 he was elected as a member of the Board of Managers. The following year he was made Vice-President and at the annual session in 1930, was raised to the high office of President, which position, the highest honor in the gift of the members of his profession, he filled with honor and credit to himself and the Association until the time of his death. We who were in close touch with him know that he left unfinished some of his greatest ambitions in connection with this posi- tion. He had many plans for the betterment of the service of the Associa- tion to the members of the bar. The endowment of the INDIANA LAW JOURNAL, so as to assure its perpetuation, was one of his plans. His con- STATE BAR ASSOCIATION PROCEEDINGS fidence in the worthiness and practicability of this plan overcame all ob- stacles and won for it the support of the Board of Managers. It is hoped that this plan may be carried on to completion and that the same may stand as a memorial to the one who proposed and nurtured it. As a husband and father, he was devoted to his family, and his chief recreation, after his long and strenuous day spent in the performance of his many activities, was in the sanuctuary of his home with his wife and children about him. It is common knowledge that his greatest fault was overwork; that he never learned to play in the modern sense of the term; that overwork, as a result of his public-spirited efforts to serve his profession, contributed materially to hasten the day of his death. It is fit that the death of such a citizen should be marked with all the testimonials of public grief, in order that his life may have its just influence on mankind; and while we deeply deplore the death of our friend and associate, we rejoice in the completeness of his life and labors, which, closing together, have left behind them a memory so precious. FRANK N. GAVIT, ORA L. WILDEmUTit, WILLAm F. HODGES, ROBERT M. DAVIS, HoMER E. SACKETT. He had the keenest appreciation of the opportunities afforded by his profession, and he fully understood that with these oppor- tunities came also corresponding obligations. With a zealous care, he sought to discharge his full duty and obligations to his profession. His success in that respect is known to all of us. I have been asked to pronounce this eulogy because of my close personal acquaintance with Mr. Miller and I know you will par- dola any reference to myself. The opportunity came to me to be his traveling companion in attending many meetings of the American Bar Association, and particularly pleasant are my recollections of Detroit and Denver. While at Denver, he pointed out to me the abandoned log hut where he lived alone while there in college. He knew all the hardships and pleasures of paying his own way through college, and university. In his will, after the usual testamentary items, he added an item of several pages devoted to "Advice to children." He left surviving him a widow and eight children. Here is a typical admonition found in the will: "Be conservative, be honest, and never enter into a transaction for which you wish to exclude the light of day or the knowledge of respectable men." The whole- some advice given in his will to his children will always consti- tute a priceless legacy to them. I think the greatest thrill in his professional life came at the banquet of the mid-winter meeting of the State Bar Association INDIANA LAW JOURNAL at Indianapolis. That night he also introduced me as the new Judge-elect of the Appellate Court. At the close of the meeting he came over to me and with a handclasp full of cordiality he said, "Curtis, you have done well." And then he added, with a merry twinkle in his eye, "for a farmer boy." I said to him: "W.

  • Indiana Magazine of History an Improvement in the Bill but Finally Signed It
    INDIANA MAGAZINEOF HISTORY VOL. XVI SEPTEMBER, 1920 No. 3 The Progressive Party In Indiana By CARLPAINTER, A. M. The progressive movement in Indiana was simply a com- ponent part of the larger movement throughout the nation. It was broader than any political party, and embodied many fundamental measures and principles of political, social and economic reforms common to the plat-forms of parties for the preceding half century. The Republican party at its inception was prophetic of progressiveism. It undertook to introduce positive economic and social functions into the American gov- ernment.1 However, after a long lease of power, during which its supremacy was never seriously disputed, corrupt prac- tices had crept in. For some time there had been Republicans who stood for a change in their party’s leadership. These men wanted it to be more responsive to the will of the people at all times. There was a feeling that the government with its privileges belonged to those who best knew how to manage votes and voters. Corruption in state and local politics grew. There was little public protest. A long period of indifferentism followed. The old story of the man who was enraged be- czuse a corruptionist was sure to be elected mayor, yet stayed away from the polls because he had an engagement to go quail hunting, illustrates the attitude of many. Under such circumstances it became possible for political bosses to control elections in their own interests. Some of the earlier progressive Republicans were Robert &I.La Follette of Wisconsin who was defeated as a candidate for governor of that state in 1894.

INDIANA 1910 Copyright. 1910. by ESTHER GRiffiN WHITE IN MEMORY OF MY BROTHERS RAYMOND PERRY WHITE ROBERT FISHER WHITE INTRODUCTION. HIS volume is merely an attempt to bring together, under one cover, information concerning Indiana Tbookplates and their makers, with some discursive commentary on variDus phases of the art life of the state, and biographical data of a necessarily limited character, the whole, if it should have any interest, to be of more or less value as a book of reference to the general Indiana public and an ex libris record to the cDllector. It is in no wise to. be regarded in the light Df an essay at a critique. Its minDr purpose is to memorialize in print certain un­ usual personalities-among them my brother, Raymond Perry White-some the possessors of genius, others Df brilliant talents, who had not, and have not, achieved that fame which might, or shDuld, have been theirs. For those Df whom Amie1 says- "The golden book contains but a sectiDn of the true geniuses; it names those Dnly who have taken glory by stDrm." Neither does it pretend to be entirely inclusive, for doubtless there are many bookplates Dwned in the state, and designers native to. Indiana, or resident therein, who have been omitted, but this is Dn account Df lack of knowledge. In but one instance has the known existence Df a bookplate been purposely ignored. ExplanatDry comment, also, of what may appear entirely DbviDUS, is naturally attendant upon a chronicle of this character, since it will be looked over by ex libris co.llecto.rs abro.ad who.

Master's Thesis Committee ______________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D., Chair ______________________________________ Kevin Cramer, Ph.D. ______________________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ii © 2020 Anastasia Tanzer iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I am thrilled to thank the people who helped me complete this thesis despite all of my nervous energy and setbacks. First and foremost, I must acknowledge my advisor and the chair of my thesis committee, Dr. Anita Morgan. When I first approached her with this project my thoughts were still vague. She pointed me towards the Ketcham family, and then guided me through how best to study and write about them. Without her I’m not sure what this project would have looked like. I would also like to thank the other members of my thesis committee. Dr. Kevin Cramer gave me the suggestion to look at what duty meant to each member of the family, which formed the major theme of this project and really brought out the more fascinating details of the family. Dr. Nancy Robertson was a last-minute addition after unforeseeable events caused a minor crisis to the committee, and I thank her for being willing to step in and help me with the final steps and editing.
