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
