Having already read law for a year in         his father's office, Davis completed the law degree         requirements in nine months. After practicing for a year in         West Virginia, he accepted a position as the third member of         the expanded law faculty at Washington and Lee. During the         1897 school year, Dean John Randolph Tucker died and Davis had         to take on the additional load of teaching Tucker's classes.         Though tempted to stay on at Washington and Lee under the         leadership of the new president, William L. Wilson, Davis         chose the 'rough \u0026 tumble' of private practice. Two years         later, when Professor Charles Graves left Washington and Lee         to accept a chair at the University of Virginia, he was again         invited to join the permanent faculty. Davis again selected         private practice over teaching. He remained loyal to         Washington and Lee and later served more that two decades on         its board of trustees.         Davis practiced law in Clarksburg from 1897 to 1913. During         this period he was active in West Virginia and national         Democratic politics. He was elected to the West Virginia House         of Delegates in 1899 and, from 1911-1913, he served in the         U.S. Congress. In 1912 he married Ellen G. Bassell. (He had         married Julia McDonald in 1899. She died in childbirth a year         later.) From 1913-1918 he served as U. S. Solicitor general.         In September 1918, Davis was one of the delegates to the         Berne, Switzerland conference on the treatment and exchange of         Prisoner. From 1918 until 1921 he was ambassador to Great         Britain. In 1921 Davis moved from London to New York to become         head of the prominent Wall Street law firm Davis, Polk and         Wardwell. Clients included J. P. Morgan and Company, and U. S.         Steel.         In 1922, the same year he served as president of the         American Bar Association, Davis rejected appointment to the U.         S. Supreme Court. In 1924 he became the Democratic nominee for         president. He waged a conservative, high-minded and losing         campaign against Calvin Coolidge. He left the political arena,         only reemerging briefly in the 1930's as an organizer of the         anti-New Deal Liberty league.         For the rest of his career, he devoted himself to his         private practice. By his death in 1955 he had made 139 oral         arguments before the Supreme Court, at the time a 20th century         record. Davis was honored in his lifetime by fourteen honorary         doctorates. Felix Frankfurter, Learned Hand, and Hugo Black,         among others, deemed him one of the two or three finest         advocates of the century.         Davis' lifelong fidelity to the conservative legal         principles espoused by his father and by the Washington and         Lee law faculty at the time he was a student make for a         seemingly inconsistent record of advocacy. He may be best         remembered for successfully defending the steel industry         against government seizure during the Korean War, and for         unsuccessfully arguing South Carolina's case for maintaining         segregated schools in the school desegregation cases now known         jointly as Brown v. Board of Education. But Davis' second case         as Solicitor General made a strong argument against Oklahoma's         'grandfather clause' excluding blacks from voting (Guinn v.         United States). He spoke in defense of religious liberty in         the 1928 presidential campaign when candidate Al Smith was         attacked because of his Catholicism. In a 1931 pro bono case,         Davis defended a Yale divinity professor in a case (United         States v. Macintosh) that became a leading precedent in the         development of the law of conscientious objection. During the         Cold War, Davis was contemptuous of McCarthyite tactics. He         was involved both in the Alger Hiss case and in preparing the         appeal of J. Robert Oppenheimer to the Atomic Energy         Commission for security clearance.","Related Materials                           Related Manuscript Collections               Researchers should note that the bulk of the papers               of John W.

Having already read law for a year in         his father's office, Davis completed the law degree         requirements in nine months. After practicing for a year in         West Virginia, he accepted a position as the third member of         the expanded law faculty at Washington and Lee. During the         1897 school year, Dean John Randolph Tucker died and Davis had         to take on the additional load of teaching Tucker's classes.         Though tempted to stay on at Washington and Lee under the         leadership of the new president, William L. Wilson, Davis         chose the 'rough \u0026amp; tumble' of private practice. Two years         later, when Professor Charles Graves left Washington and Lee         to accept a chair at the University of Virginia, he was again         invited to join the permanent faculty. Davis again selected         private practice over teaching. He remained loyal to         Washington and Lee and later served more that two decades on         its board of trustees.\u003c/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eDavis practiced law in Clarksburg from 1897 to 1913. During         this period he was active in West Virginia and national         Democratic politics. He was elected to the West Virginia House         of Delegates in 1899 and, from 1911-1913, he served in the         U.S. Congress. In 1912 he married Ellen G. Bassell. (He had         married Julia McDonald in 1899. She died in childbirth a year         later.) From 1913-1918 he served as U. S. Solicitor general.         In September 1918, Davis was one of the delegates to the         Berne, Switzerland conference on the treatment and exchange of         Prisoner. From 1918 until 1921 he was ambassador to Great         Britain. In 1921 Davis moved from London to New York to become         head of the prominent Wall Street law firm Davis, Polk and         Wardwell. Clients included J. P. Morgan and Company, and U. S.         Steel.\u003c/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eIn 1922, the same year he served as president of the         American Bar Association, Davis rejected appointment to the U.         S. Supreme Court. In 1924 he became the Democratic nominee for         president. He waged a conservative, high-minded and losing         campaign against Calvin Coolidge. He left the political arena,         only reemerging briefly in the 1930's as an organizer of the         anti-New Deal Liberty league.\u003c/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eFor the rest of his career, he devoted himself to his         private practice. By his death in 1955 he had made 139 oral         arguments before the Supreme Court, at the time a 20th century         record. Davis was honored in his lifetime by fourteen honorary         doctorates. Felix Frankfurter, Learned Hand, and Hugo Black,         among others, deemed him one of the two or three finest         advocates of the century.\u003c/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eDavis' lifelong fidelity to the conservative legal         principles espoused by his father and by the Washington and         Lee law faculty at the time he was a student make for a         seemingly inconsistent record of advocacy. He may be best         remembered for successfully defending the steel industry         against government seizure during the Korean War, and for         unsuccessfully arguing South Carolina's case for maintaining         segregated schools in the school desegregation cases now known         jointly as Brown v. Board of Education. But Davis' second case         as Solicitor General made a strong argument against Oklahoma's         'grandfather clause' excluding blacks from voting (Guinn v.         United States). He spoke in defense of religious liberty in         the 1928 presidential campaign when candidate Al Smith was         attacked because of his Catholicism. In a 1931 pro bono case,         Davis defended a Yale divinity professor in a case (United         States v. Macintosh) that became a leading precedent in the         development of the law of conscientious objection. During the         Cold War, Davis was contemptuous of McCarthyite tactics. He         was involved both in the Alger Hiss case and in preparing the         appeal of J. Robert Oppenheimer to the Atomic Energy         Commission for security clearance.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/p\u003e  "],"collection":{"numFound":1,"start":0,"numFoundExact":true,"docs":[{"id":"vilxw_repositories_4_resources_3","ead_ssi":"vilxw_repositories_4_resources_3","_root_":"vilxw_repositories_4_resources_3","_nest_parent_":"vilxw_repositories_4_resources_3","ead_source_url_ssi":"data/oai/WLU/repositories_4_resources_3.xml","title_ssm":["John W.

Davis practiced law in Clarksburg from 1897 to 1913. During         this period he was active in West Virginia and national         Democratic politics. He was elected to the West Virginia House         of Delegates in 1899 and, from 1911-1913, he served in the         U.S. Congress. In 1912 he married Ellen G. Bassell. (He had         married Julia McDonald in 1899. She died in childbirth a year         later.) From 1913-1918 he served as U. S. Solicitor general.         In September 1918, Davis was one of the delegates to the         Berne, Switzerland conference on the treatment and exchange of         Prisoner. From 1918 until 1921 he was ambassador to Great         Britain. In 1921 Davis moved from London to New York to become         head of the prominent Wall Street law firm Davis, Polk and         Wardwell. Clients included J. P. Morgan and Company, and U. S.         Steel.         In 1922, the same year he served as president of the         American Bar Association, Davis rejected appointment to the U.         S. Supreme Court. In 1924 he became the Democratic nominee for         president. He waged a conservative, high-minded and losing         campaign against Calvin Coolidge. He left the political arena,         only reemerging briefly in the 1930's as an organizer of the         anti-New Deal Liberty league.         For the rest of his career, he devoted himself to his         private practice. By his death in 1955 he had made 139 oral         arguments before the Supreme Court, at the time a 20th century         record. Davis was honored in his lifetime by fourteen honorary         doctorates. Felix Frankfurter, Learned Hand, and Hugo Black,         among others, deemed him one of the two or three finest         advocates of the century.         Davis' lifelong fidelity to the conservative legal         principles espoused by his father and by the Washington and         Lee law faculty at the time he was a student make for a         seemingly inconsistent record of advocacy. He may be best         remembered for successfully defending the steel industry         against government seizure during the Korean War, and for         unsuccessfully arguing South Carolina's case for maintaining         segregated schools in the school desegregation cases now known         jointly as Brown v. Board of Education. But Davis' second case         as Solicitor General made a strong argument against Oklahoma's         'grandfather clause' excluding blacks from voting (Guinn v.         United States). He spoke in defense of religious liberty in         the 1928 presidential campaign when candidate Al Smith was         attacked because of his Catholicism. In a 1931 pro bono case,         Davis defended a Yale divinity professor in a case (United         States v. Macintosh) that became a leading precedent in the         development of the law of conscientious objection. During the         Cold War, Davis was contemptuous of McCarthyite tactics. He         was involved both in the Alger Hiss case and in preparing the         appeal of J. Robert Oppenheimer to the Atomic Energy         Commission for security clearance.","Related Materials                           Related Manuscript Collections               Researchers should note that the bulk of the papers               of John W.

Having already read law for a year in         his father's office, Davis completed the law degree         requirements in nine months. After practicing for a year in         West Virginia, he accepted a position as the third member of         the expanded law faculty at Washington and Lee. During the         1897 school year, Dean John Randolph Tucker died and Davis had         to take on the additional load of teaching Tucker's classes.         Though tempted to stay on at Washington and Lee under the         leadership of the new president, William L. Wilson, Davis         chose the 'rough \u0026 tumble' of private practice. Two years         later, when Professor Charles Graves left Washington and Lee         to accept a chair at the University of Virginia, he was again         invited to join the permanent faculty. Davis again selected         private practice over teaching. He remained loyal to         Washington and Lee and later served more that two decades on         its board of trustees.

He was elected to the West Virginia House         of Delegates in 1899 and, from 1911-1913, he served in the         U.S. Congress. In 1912 he married Ellen G. Bassell. (He had         married Julia McDonald in 1899. She died in childbirth a year         later.) From 1913-1918 he served as U. S. Solicitor general.         In September 1918, Davis was one of the delegates to the         Berne, Switzerland conference on the treatment and exchange of         Prisoner. From 1918 until 1921 he was ambassador to Great         Britain. In 1921 Davis moved from London to New York to become         head of the prominent Wall Street law firm Davis, Polk and         Wardwell. Clients included J. P. Morgan and Company, and U. S.         Steel.         In 1922, the same year he served as president of the         American Bar Association, Davis rejected appointment to the U.         S. Supreme Court.

Having already read law for a year in         his father's office, Davis completed the law degree         requirements in nine months. After practicing for a year in         West Virginia, he accepted a position as the third member of         the expanded law faculty at Washington and Lee. During the         1897 school year, Dean John Randolph Tucker died and Davis had         to take on the additional load of teaching Tucker's classes.         Though tempted to stay on at Washington and Lee under the         leadership of the new president, William L. Wilson, Davis         chose the 'rough \u0026amp; tumble' of private practice. Two years         later, when Professor Charles Graves left Washington and Lee         to accept a chair at the University of Virginia, he was again         invited to join the permanent faculty. Davis again selected         private practice over teaching. He remained loyal to         Washington and Lee and later served more that two decades on         its board of trustees.\u003c/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eDavis practiced law in Clarksburg from 1897 to 1913. During         this period he was active in West Virginia and national         Democratic politics. He was elected to the West Virginia House         of Delegates in 1899 and, from 1911-1913, he served in the         U.S. Congress. In 1912 he married Ellen G. Bassell. (He had         married Julia McDonald in 1899. She died in childbirth a year         later.) From 1913-1918 he served as U. S. Solicitor general.         In September 1918, Davis was one of the delegates to the         Berne, Switzerland conference on the treatment and exchange of         Prisoner. From 1918 until 1921 he was ambassador to Great         Britain. In 1921 Davis moved from London to New York to become         head of the prominent Wall Street law firm Davis, Polk and         Wardwell. Clients included J. P. Morgan and Company, and U. S.         Steel.\u003c/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eIn 1922, the same year he served as president of the         American Bar Association, Davis rejected appointment to the U.         S. Supreme Court. In 1924 he became the Democratic nominee for         president. He waged a conservative, high-minded and losing         campaign against Calvin Coolidge. He left the political arena,         only reemerging briefly in the 1930's as an organizer of the         anti-New Deal Liberty league.\u003c/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eFor the rest of his career, he devoted himself to his         private practice. By his death in 1955 he had made 139 oral         arguments before the Supreme Court, at the time a 20th century         record. Davis was honored in his lifetime by fourteen honorary         doctorates. Felix Frankfurter, Learned Hand, and Hugo Black,         among others, deemed him one of the two or three finest         advocates of the century.\u003c/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003eDavis' lifelong fidelity to the conservative legal         principles espoused by his father and by the Washington and         Lee law faculty at the time he was a student make for a         seemingly inconsistent record of advocacy. He may be best         remembered for successfully defending the steel industry         against government seizure during the Korean War, and for         unsuccessfully arguing South Carolina's case for maintaining         segregated schools in the school desegregation cases now known         jointly as Brown v. Board of Education. But Davis' second case         as Solicitor General made a strong argument against Oklahoma's         'grandfather clause' excluding blacks from voting (Guinn v.         United States). He spoke in defense of religious liberty in         the 1928 presidential campaign when candidate Al Smith was         attacked because of his Catholicism. In a 1931 pro bono case,         Davis defended a Yale divinity professor in a case (United         States v. Macintosh) that became a leading precedent in the         development of the law of conscientious objection. During the         Cold War, Davis was contemptuous of McCarthyite tactics. He         was involved both in the Alger Hiss case and in preparing the         appeal of J. Robert Oppenheimer to the Atomic Energy         Commission for security clearance.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/p\u003e  "]}]}},"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://arvasarchive.org/catalog/vilxw_repositories_4_resources_3"}},{"id":"vilxw_repositories_5_resources_301","type":"collection","attributes":{"title":"John W.
