Elmer N. 1511111211 ONORABLE ELNTER N. POWELL was one of the founders of the Kansas TH' City School of Law. He, together with Judge F. M. Black, O. H. Dean, Judge E. L. Scarritt, Sanford B. Ladd, J. W. Snyder, W. P. Borland, R. J. Ingraham, H. Harkless, Judge E. H. Stiles and E. D. Ellison, organized the school in 1895. hir. Powell was the hrst secretary, and he now holds the position of secretary and treasurer, and is lecturer on the subject of Partner- ship and Domestic Relations. lylr. Powell was born at Farmington, Delaware, on September 9, 1869. He received his early education at the Delaware public schools, the Wilmington Con- ference Academy of Dover, Delaware, and supplemented this with a year at johns Hopkins University and then engaged in educational work as schoolmaster at Vernon, Delaware, and afterwards as principal of the Hillsboro, Maryland, High School. He came to Kansas City in 1890 and afterwards attended the law department of the University of Kansas, from which institution he graduated with the degree of LL.B. in 1895 as valedictorian of his class, and the summer thereafter became a member of the firm of Powell 8: Powell, the name of the firm being now Powell 8: Kurtz. He was the flrst president of the Law Students Club, organized in 1892, prom- inent in the old East Side Literary Club. He is a Mason, a member of the Uni- versity Club, the Knife and Fork Club, and a member of the American Bar Counsel from hlissouri. Owing to his personal popularity, ability and genius for work, lX'1r. Powell has without doubt been elected to the presidency of more prominent public organizations than any other man of his age in Kansas City. He has in addition to several minor organizations, been president of the Kansas City Bar Association, of the old Kansas City Law Club, of the alumni of Beta Theta Pi, the Missouri Republican Club, Phi Delta Phi alumni chapter Cfour termsb, and is president of Province V1 of this legal fraternity. Nlr. Powell is characterized by unreserved geniality, integrity, activity and the broadest liberality in his business, social and political relations, possessing besides a keen sense of humor, consequently his unsought part in public affairs and civic functions at large. The only political office ever held by him was that of Assessor and Collector of VVater Rates in hflayor NeH's well-remembered business men,s administration of 1894. In this he was very much in the public eye by reason of his successful fight for cheaper water rates for the people. He declined a second term in this office. offered him by Nlayor Beardsley, since his law practice required his undi- vided attention. Klr. Powell has stood for the highest ideals in his chosen profession, and is an able and successful lawyer. He was married on October 19, 1897, to Nliss Illga L. Herbel of Jacksonville, Illinois, and Nlr. and hlrs. Powell have been blessed with a daughter, Bliss Dorothea D. Powell. ,gf
