GUMBO VOLUME TWELVE EDITED BY THE Senior Class of Louisiana State University and A. & M. College DEDICATION TO T H E HONORABLE EDWARD DOUGLASS WHITE, WHOM THE PRESIDENT OF OUR GREAT AND GLORIOUS NATION HAS CROWNED WITH A MOST HIGH AND WELL DESERVED HONOR IN ENTRUSTING TO HIM THE CHIEF JUSTICE­ SHIP OF THE HIGHEST TRIBUNAL IN THE WORLD, THIS, THE TWELFTH VOLUME OF THE GUMBO, IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. CHI KF JUSTICE E. D. WHITE Edward Douglass White Edward Douglass White was born in the Parish of Lafourche in November, 1845. He came of a fam'ily of statesmen, his father having served as Governor of Louisiana and as a member of the National Congress, and while young Edward was yet a youth he showed a marked tendency to follow in the footsteps of his illus­ trious father. He received his education at Mount St. Mary’s, Maryland, at the Jesuits’ College in New Orleans, and at Georgetown College in the District of Columbia. His attendance at the last named school was interrupted during his seventeenth year, when he entered the ranks of the Confederate Army. After the war, however, he completed his course of study and was admitted to the bar in December, 1868. He was elected a member of the State Senate in 1874, and four years later was appointed a Justice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. In 1891 he was elected a United States Senator, and it was while he was serving this term that President Cleve­ land made him an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He served in this capacity until December, 1910, at which time he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by President Taft. There are several honors connected with Justice W hite’s election to this chair other than the mere highness of the position. He is the first Associate Justice ever raised to the Chief Justiceship and is second in the line of Chief Justices of Catholic faith, being in this respect the direct successor of Roger Brooke Taney. But probably the most flattering honor of all is the manner in which all the political factions of Washington forgot their prejudices in the support of Louisiana’s eminent jurist. Of this we, the editors of the Gumbo, along with the whole of our sunny State, are proud, and we feel it a high honor to have the opportunity of showing the esteem in which Louisiana holds her distinguished son, through the dedication of this volume of the University annual to him. 6 7 8 I The Faculty T h o m a s D.
