Description
William Henderson Smith, LL.B.
Manchester, Kentucky
Henry Clay Law Society; Men’s Student Council
“Bill” comes to us from a land where moonshine flows like water, but his only bad habits are drawing the face of Andy Gump all over the walls of the Law Department and occasionally stepping out to the races. He’s a lion with the ladies, and quite a politician, having defeated every man in his class, particularly “Tammany Bill” in the race for Student Council Representative.
-The Kentuckian, 1923
