Asa S. Mercer reminiscence of life in early Seattle and the beginning of the University of Washington in 1861, n.d.
No full textOn a visit to Seattle to see his brother, Judge Thomas Mercer, early pioneer, civic leader and first president of the University of Washington, Asa S. Mercer, gives an account of early life in Seattle and the inception of the University of Washington in 1861 to a Seattle-Post Intelligencer reporter. He states that he helped dig a well when he first arrived in Seattle in 1861 and then worked on tallying lumber. He recalls Henry Yesler's sawmill and describes it as the "mainstay and backbone" of Seattle at that time. He also remembers a small Methodist church in the city and estimates that there were not more than 200 residents of Seattle in 1861. On a question regarding schools, Mercer mentions that he was the school's first president describes how he gave a speech at the school's dedication ceremony. He notes that he had to send out a circular to local logging camps in order to attract more students to the unviersity. He was able to get (by his estimate), "fifteen or twenty young fellows" as long as they were paid to chop wood. Mercer mentions past discussions he had with his brother Thomas, regarding how the territory would develop. Mercer mentions that he believed it too be too tough to grow anything while Thomas believed it would become a "great country." In response to a question about past settlers, Mercer recalls several pioneers including Henry Yesler, Dexter Horton, Dick Atkinson, Hillory Butler, Arthur Denny, Daniel Bagley, David Swinson "Doc" Maynard, and others.In 1854, territorial governor, Isaac Ingalls Stevens, suggested that a university for Washington Territory be established. The territorial legislature settled on Seattle as the setting for the school in 1858 but it was not until 1861 when appointed commissioners, Methodist minister Reverend Daniel Bagley, John Webster and Edmund Carr looked for a 10-acre site. As president of the commission, Bagley handled many of the land matters for the school. Arthur A. Denny, Edward Lander and Charlie Terry eventually donated land for the school in downtown Seattle. Situated between 4th Avenue, 6th Avenue, Union Street and Seneca Street, the Territorial University of Washington officially opened on November 4, 1861 with one instructor, Asa Shinn Mercer. In 1862, the Washington territorial legislature incorporated the school and appointed a Board of Regents. Throughout the university's early years, the university consisted not only of college curricula but also preparatory school curricula. The school faced constant changes in administration, enrollment and financial support in its first twenty years. In 1863, the school had to close due to lack of students. In 1867 and 1876, the school closed again, this time due to lack of funds. Throughout the late 1870s and 1880s, strong leadership from school presidents helped the university form a stable base of students and a strong reputation though financial problems continued to plague the school.
Asa Shinn Mercer (1839 - 1917) was one of the pioneers in the early days of Seattle. He was brother to civic leader, Thomas Mercer. Mercer was the first president of the University of Washington Territory from 1861 to 1863 and also its first and only instructor when the school opened in 1861. In 1864, Mercer traveled to the east coast to bring young women to live and work as teachers in Seattle. These "Mercer Girls" eventually married men in the predominantly male population of that time. He later served on the Washington State Senate. He also became a cattleman in Wyoming and served as Wyoming's Alternative Commissioner at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893

Exercise Assessment for People with End-stage Renal Failure
No full textFirst paragraph: Progressive loss of kidney function is often described as chronic kidney disease (CKD). Chronic kidney disease may progress to end stage renal failure (ESRF), at which point the kidneys are not able to perform their regulatory and excretory functions. The transition into end-stage renal failure, with the concomitant derangement of normal biochemical, metabolic and endocrine functions, is almost always accompanied by the clinical syndrome of uraemia. Symptoms such as anorexia, generalised lethargy and fatigue, sleep disorder, neurological dysfunction, nausea and vomiting are frequently evident. The appearance of these symptoms is remarkably consistent and appears to coincide with abnormal plasma levels of many substances including urea, creatinine, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone, which have been identified as potential uraemic toxins. Accompanying clinical signs of ESRF include fluid retention (peripheral and pulmonary oedema), raised blood pressure, diminishing haemoglobin levels and abnormal biochemistry (creatinine, serum urea and potassium) (Bommer 1992, Moore 2000)
Mercer Law School’s Legacy of Service to the Profession
No full textHon. William Augustus Bootle, a 1925 graduate of Mercer Law School and 1924 graduate of Mercer University, penned of his alma mater, “[the] school was conceived in professionalism and dedicated to excellence.” Similarly, “Altruism, not the promotion of selfish aims, has been the inspiration of the [Georgia Bar] Association throughout its entire history.” As noted by Judge Bootle, Mercer Law School’s legacy of service to the profession began long before the establishment of the State Bar of Georgia as we know it today.
Today, Mercer Law School remains dedicated to serving the legal profession. This commitment to serve and devote time, efforts, and passion to the legal profession is exemplified through educating and mentoring the future generation and through service to the State Bar of Georgia and its local affiliates. In the words of one notable alumnus, “We all stand . . . on the shoulders of the people who came before [us]. Well, every lawyer . . . does that and I think we have an obligation to return that or pay it forward . . . .”
This Article explores the connection between the State Bar of Georgia and Mercer Law School. The Article also discusses Mercer Law School’s Woodruff Curriculum and its influence on the myriad of graduates who become professors, mentors, and leaders in service of the profession
