A Large Man Who Played an Outsized Role

William Howard Taft was many things: a judge in Cincinnati’s courts, a student of and later dean of what became the University of Cincinnati College of Law, Governor of the Philippines, President of the United States, and Chief Justice of the United States. Beginning Tuesday the college celebrates Taft Week with several events. You'll find a listing of them on the College of Law website. Friday speaker Professor Jeffrey Rosen’s recent biography, titled William Howard Taft, is available in the Law Library’s reserve collection. The University of Cincinnati Archives hold correspondence from Taft during his time as Governor of the Philippines. We invite you to join the College of Law as we celebrate the legacy of William Howard Taft.
