   Clarence A. Dorger. The profession of the law, when clothed with its true
dignity and purity and strength, must rank first among the callings of men, for
law rules the universe. The work of the legal profession is to formulate, to
harmonize, to regulate, to adjust, to administer those rules that underlie and
permeate all government and society and control the varied relations of men. As
thus viewed there attaches to the legal profession a noblesness that cannot but
be reflected in the life of the true lawyer who, conscious of the greatness of
his profession, and honest in the pursuit of his purpose, embraces the richness
of learning, the profoundness of wisdom, the firmness of integrity and the
purity of morals, together with the graces of modesty, courtesy, and general
amenities. Clarence A. Dorger, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is certainly a type of this
class of lawyers, and, as such, he ranks among the most eminent members of the
Ohio Bar. He was born in Cincinnati, March 8, 1894, a son of Frank J. Dorger and
Clara (Wetterer) Dorger, well-known residents of this city. He obtained his
early education in the Academic Department of St. Xavier's College, of
Cincinnati, Ohio. Later he attended Holy Cross College of Worcester, Mass., and
graduated from the latter institution with the class of 1912, with the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. Mr. Dorger entered the Georgetown Law School at Washington, D.
C., and after remaining here some time, came to Cincinnati, and entered the
Cincinnati Law School from which he was graduated with the class of 1915, with
the degree of Bachelor of Laws. After completing his studies, Mr. Dorger began
his practice in Cincinnati, in the office of his father, Frank J. Dorger, and in
1919 became a partner, the firm now being Dorger & Dorger. Fraternally, Mr.
Dorger is a popular member of the Knights of Columbus and, in religious
affiliation, a member of the St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church. Politically
he is a stanch Republican, but has never cared for the honors of office. During
the great World war, Mr. Dorger served for one year in the Air Service. He
enlisted December 12, 1917, and was honorably discharged December 10, 1918, with
the rank of second lieutenant, during which time he attended the United States
School of Military Aeronautics at the University of Illinois, at Champaign,
111., and was later sent to Camp Dick, Dallas, Tex. After a short stay at
Dallas, he was ordered to Scott Field, Belleville, Ill., for his preliminary
flying training, upon the completion of which he was retained as an instructor,
having charge of the instruction of flying of all officers at Scott Field, from
which field he was subsequently discharged. Mr. Dorger is a member of the
Hamilton County Bar Association, the University Club, of Cincinnati; the Cuvier
Press Club, the Hamilton County Golf Club, the Third Ward Republican Club, Elder
Council Knights of Columbus, and is prominent in professional and social circles.
