(Judge of Recorder's Court)

On Saturday, Aug. 3, Louis James Rosenberg
will celebrate his 70th anniversary, and his host
of friends in Detroit and throughout the world
will rejoice with him and toast his health.
There is something significant and sentimental
about becoming 70, like becoming 21 and 50—only
in a different way. A man at 70, in good health,
reaches' the peak of his mental powers.
Mellowed by years of experiences he can

"Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be."
—Browning

Five decades have not dimmed my memory in
recalling pleasant mutual relations. Many may
know Mr. Rosenberg for his legal and diplomatic
career, yet there is much more to him : he possesses
many subtle facets in the form of a keen intellec-
tual and analytical mind; he is a lover of esthetics;
last but not least, in his connection with the
Detroit Jewish Community, he is engaged in nu-
merous activities.

Just to mention a few: he was a trustee and is
now the treasurer of Pisgah Lodge; a member of
its Anti-Defamation League and program corn-
mittee. He is a member of the Library Board of
the Shaarey Zedek Congregation, an institution
he has been affiliated with since boyhood. He is a
board member of the United Hebrew Schools and
the American Jewish Committee in Which he is
profoundly interested through the local branch.
We find him also as a member of the Detroit
Round Table of Catholics, Jews and Protestants.

Worked Together on Many Problems

Five decades have not dimmed my memory of
our work together on many sociologic problems
of a medico-legal nature, which afterwards ap-
peared in leading medical journals here and
abroad, and in the Medico-Legal Journal of New
York, These essays were compiled in a volume
entitled "Sociologic Studies from a Medico-Legal
Standpoint."

In collaborating with Mr. Rosenberg, I found
him to be, as I mentioned before, a keen
analyst in the evaluation and summation of a
problem.

His love of philosophy and literature gave him

entry to the presidenCy of the Detroit Philos-
ophical Society of which he is a co-founder, and
to membership in the Michigan Authors Associa-
tion and the Michigan Academy of Science. Art
and Literature.

In retrospect I must not fail to mention the
lucid and comprehensive article on Mazzini. whom
he designated as the "Prophet of the Religion of
Humanity"; a small volume and yet replete with
so much food for thought, that one is amazed
that so much could have been acaomplished in a
multuan • in parvo edition.

Interested in Dante Alleghieri

In 1916 appeared another volume entitled "Scraps
and Bits" which contains abstracts and excerpts
from lectures delivered before the Michigan Auth-
ors Association and other organizations. His interest
.. in Dante Alleghieri bestowed upon him the ap-
pointment of Michigan representative to the Na-
tional Dante Committee;, in 1921, the year of the
•. tri-centennial of the death of Dahte. Upon, the tri-
centennial celebration of the birth of Spinoza, the
Governor of Michigan appointed him as represen-
tative of the state.

Further to supplement his varied intellectual
.endeavors, I must not neglect to mention that he
erstwhile lecturer at the University of Detroit
•
• in the Commerce Depatmrent on the Subject of
"Government Assistance in Foreign Trade."

Many more are his contributions to literature
and to cognate intellectual pursuits; it would re-
.quire a lengthy bibliography in order to complete
this rather inadequate tribute.

•

My friend, you have many more years ahead
of you. Let your spirit aspire and achieve—the• .
. best is yet to be.

Government has expressed its

Prior to his embarkation upon a legal career,
Mr. Rosenberg was educated in private schools
and by private tutors, and studied languages ex-
tensively in several foreign countries. In 1900 he
was graduated from the Detroit College of Law
and was admitted to the Michigan Bar.

Considered a 'Lawyer's Lawyer'

The

For many years Mr. Rosenberg has been con-
sidered a "lawyer's lawyer," in certain branches
of law, often being consulted by fellow attorneys
in matters pertaining to - foreign claims, inter-
national law, treaties and rights under treaties.
In one instance his work even extended to the
preparation and drafting of certain clauses for a
proposed treaty between the "United States and a
foreign ccuntry.
In recent years his private practice has, for the
most part, involved work in connection with wills
and estates, in which field he is regarded as an
expert to the extent that he • was • invited a few
years ago to give a paper before a convention of
Probate Court Judges.

LASKEY CLEANERS

His profound interest in international affairs
and in cultural and civic matters have neces-
sarily guided Mr. Rosenberg's footsteps into
many societies where the matters which claim
his interest are fostered and discussed.

"Immaculate Dry Cleaning"

On Nov. 17, 1924, Mr. Rosenberg was married to
Miss Mildred Simons, daughter of the late David
W. Simons. She was a woman of extraordinary
charm and culture, and a noted leader in com-
munal affairs. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Rosen-
berg was for many years a rendezvous of intel
lectuals. Together they often went to Washington
where they were frequent guests at many Em-
bassies. Mrs. Rosenberg passed away in December,
1944, deeply mourned by hosts of friends.
