Judge William Thornton Lafferty
Who, in 1908, seeing an opportunity to serve his state by training young men for the legal profession, accepted the call to establish the College of Law at the University of Kentucky. During the fourteen years of its existence under Judge Lafferty's guidance it has taken its place among the leading law colleges of the South.
It is fitting and appropriate that we pay, in this small way, our tribute of respect to the memory of our beloved Dean. He was more than a teacher, he was a devoted, fatherly adviser to each and every student, keeping daily before them the highest ideals of a good lawyer and patriotic citizen. He is gone, yet his memory is warm in the hearts of each of us; and the highest tribute which we can pay to that memory would be, not the printed page or marble shaft, but by living up to those high principles of citizenship and professional conduct which he so sincerely kept before us.
