UT’s College of Law, Adrian College Launch Joint Degree Program
The University of Toledo and Adrian College announced a joint degree agreement on Wednesday, creating a pathway for students to simultaneously earn a juris doctor from UT and a master of arts in criminal justice from Adrian College. “The master of arts in criminal justice-juris doctor partnership between Adrian College and The University of Toledo College of Law will create exciting opportunities for students at both institutions,” said Nathan Goetting, professor and director of the Romney Institute for Law and Public Policy at Adrian College. “Many of Adrian College’s best criminal justice graduate students are interested in law and many UToledo law students hope to become criminal attorneys,” he said. “This program will enable the former to achieve their academic and professional goals sooner and the latter to earn an extra credential by taking advanced criminal justice courses and conducting high-level research on the topic of their choice.” Students who enroll in the joint degree program can earn both degrees with the same number of credit hours needed to earn a law degree at UT.

100 Years Ago: James W. Helme will oppose Earl C. Michener again for place in Congress
July 26, 1924: Petitions will be circulated by leading Democrats in the county to put James W. Helme of Adrian in candidacy for Congress as a result of a conference held here last evening. In attendance at the gathering, which was purely informal, were Horatio Abbott, former Ann Arbor postmaster, John Miner of Jackson, another well known party member of the Second Congressional district and Edward Frensdorf of Hudson, candidate for Governor. Prosecuting Attorney Henry Bourns, Sheriff William Beasley, James H. Baker, Michael L. Gillen, and Mr. Helme were among Adrian residents who participated in the council. A complete ticket will be put in the field for state legislative and county officers as a result of the decision reached at the meeting, it was stated today. Mr. Miner, who was a second district delegate at the national convention, has been regarded as a probable candidate for Congress to oppose the Republican incumbent, Earl C. Michener. He told the conference last night that he would not enter. “I’m afraid I would be elected, and I honestly do not want to go to Congress” was the way in which Mr. Miner was reported to have worded his statement. As a result of his definite withdrawal, the men in conference at once formulated plans for the circulation of the Helme petitions. John C. Calahan of Wyandotte, another prospective candidate for the office, is also thought by local Democrats to have given up his intentions, leaving a clear field for Mr. Helme in the primary. Mr. Helme was a candidate against Mr. Michener in the district election of two years ago, polling 33,393 votes to Mr. Michener’s 31,509.
