ΦΑΔ; Henry Clay Law Society.
"Patterson Hall! Where is it? What do they teach there? When a lawyer goes in for real-estate--hold tight." "Little Willie," one of the few youths whose springtime fancies have never carried him into the unfathomable mysteries of Patt Hall. No, he is not immune; on the other hand he is a "very much" ladies' man; however, the University-Lunch-Stand-Girls do not hold out any attraction for him. "Willie" says that he does not intend to practice law after graduating, but that he will go into the real-estate business "Out West."
-The Kentuckian, 1915
