In 1925, having completed nearly seventeen years of continuous judi- cial service, he resigned from the bench to resume the practice of law and at once entered into the activities of his profession as a partner in the firm of Steptoe, Maxwell, and Johnson in the city of Clarks- burg. Judge Maxwell ' s practical devotion to the Univer.-ity and to the cause of legal education is illustrated by the fact that he has given one week out of each year, for the past ten years, with two exceptions, to the task of pre.- iding over the practice court in the University Col- lege of Law. He has lost none of his interests in the young men of his profession, and the benefits which they derive from their practice br;fore him are a help and an inspiration to them. If each alumnuo 01 the University would devote himself exclusively to the service of the University for one week out of each year, the resulting force would be incalculable. The University community is proud of Judge Maxwell as a man and as an alumnus. He has been made an honorary member of Phi Beta Kappa, and of the Phi Alpha Delta legal fraternity. A modest, cultured gentleman, learned in his chosen profession which he prac tices according to its finest traditions, he is typica. of the kind of alumnus which every college or University hopes to give to the world. In recognition of his service to the state and the University, and of the honor which his lite and character reflect upon the University, this volume of the Monticola is dedicated to HAYMOND MAXWELL U ' i I 1 1 ■■■■■ ' n 8 -D]i

Judge Haymond Maxwell nX f V The men produced by a state are a more worthy object of pride than its material products. Judge Haymond Maxwell is one of the flue human products of this state. He is a native of West Virginia, and of the city of Clarksburg. He was educated in the public schools of his native city, and was graduated from the State I ' niversity with the A. B. degree in 1900, and from the Law Department of the Univer- sity with the LL.B. degree in 1901. West Virginia produced the man, and trained him in her own schools. Haymond Maxwell entered the practice of law in Clarksburg immediately upon his graduation from the law department, and devoted himself exclusively to the practice until 1909, except for serving one term in the State Legislature, in the year 1905. During the first years of his practice he was associated with his father, the late Judge Edwin Maxwell. In 1909 Governor William E. Glasscock appointed Mr. Maxwell Judge of the Criminal Court of Harrison County. Although he was an unusually young man for an important judicial pos ' ion, his reputa- tion for ability and integrity justified the appointment He was pro- moted to the circuit bench in 1912 by the votes of the people of Har- rison and Lewis Counties, and was reelected for r second term in 1920 without opposition from either party. His judic ' al service was of the highest quality, and was characterized by courage, intelligence, and honesty. His court had the confidence of the people, at a time I I I ' ■ M 1 B
