Orientation Display

For the past several years during his orientation welcoming speech, Associate Dean Rob Wilcox has used examples from the Memory Hold the Door biographies to highlight the professional virtues that law students and lawyers should cultivate. This year, in addition to providing quotes from four of the biographies for Dean Wilcox, the law library has mounted a display that celebrates the lives and accomplishments of the four Memory Hold the Door honorees. The attorneys honored in this first display are:

Alfred Cleo Mann (1889-1956)

“He developed a large practice by scrupulous integrity, thorough, conscientious work. His arguments to juries and judges were based on logic and reason. To him, the practice of law was a mission seeking the goal of truth.”

Miss James M. Perry (1894-1964)

“Measured by her sense of responsibility for her clients, for mankind and animals in need, and measured further by a desirable pride in her profession, she was a definite success.”

Moultrie Dwight Douglas (1901-1980)

“A man of the highest integrity, he disdained pretense and sham. He was a firm advocate, yet was courteous with his adversaries. He was full of good humor and stories of courts and lawyers past. ... . He regarded the practice of law as a public trust rather than as a conduit to great wealth.”

Joseph Oscar Rogers, Jr. (1921-1999)

“Joe Rogers firmly believed in the legal profession as a noble calling, which required keen intelligence, skill and integrity. Those were the qualities which marked the passion and action of his professional and political careers.”

The display is located on the first floor of the library, between the South Carolina Legal History Collection and the Attorneys Room, and will be available during the fall semester.
