Allen G. Flowers
|
Dean of the Law School and Professor of Law.
When the Board of Trustees reestablished Baylor Law School in 1920, the first leader of the new Department of Law was Allen G. Flowers. He served in that capacity for fifteen years until his death in 1935.
Flowers was born in South Carolina in 1869. He was educated at the Y.M.C.A. Night School in Washington, D.C. He later received his LL.B. and LL.M. degrees from George Washington University in 1906 and 1907, respectively.
Beginning at the age of ten, Flowers learned the printer's trade, and his career centered partially on law and partially on the printer's trade. He served as a Member of the Board of Aldermen at Sumter, S.C. from 1894-1896. He was later employed at the Government Printing Office from 1900 through 1911. He was elected Chairman of the Washington delegation to the International Typographical Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1910. He also served as editor and publisher of the Arkansas Sentinel in Fayetteville, Arkansas from 1911 through 1913.
Flowers was admitted to the D.C. Bar in 1908. He served as deputy prosecuting attorney of Washington County, Arkansas from 1912 through 1919, and taught classes in the Lecture Department of Economics of the University of Arkansas in 1916.
Flowers was an active member of the Waco Bar Association from the time of his arrival in Waco in 1920. In memory of Flowers, Mrs. Price Daniel and the late Justice Price Daniel established the Allen G. Flowers Memorial Scholarship to deserving students based on scholarship, leadership, and Christian character.
