Description
Morgan Marion Atchison, LL.B. '18, LL.M. '20
Owingsville, KY
Henry Clay Law Society
"Atch" is a sturdy, quiet, industrious youth, never seeking the limelight but contented to do his duty as he sees it. When at home he raises "long green," and no man in the Law College ever loved better to chew it. My, but it's strong! "Atch" can always stop studying long enough to tell a joke or listen to one. With a fondness for politics and a devotion to his party, we suspect his ambition is to be county judge and then represent the Ninth District at Washington. We are not advised whether or not he will run on his "war record."
-The Kentuckian, 1918
