Description
Earl Lewis Fowler, LL.B.
Waverly, Kentucky
Henry Clay Law Society; Democrat Club; Pres. Patterson Lit. Society (4).
"Ponder well and know the right."
"E. L." is the silent man of the class. When he talks there's something said. He naturally is a faithful exponent of our literary societies. Give him thread and he'll prove his point. When we want to decide some legal question we will go to this determined young lawyer and win--if justice demands it. (And we have the price.)
-The Kentuckian, 1915
