A special Flashback Friday for Native American Heritage Month: Ed Rogers, our first Native American graduate
When Ed Rogers (J.D. 1904) wasn’t studying hard for his night courses at the Law School, you could find him honing his leadership skills on the football field. Rogers was captain of the Gopher football team in 1903, and kicked the tying point in a legendary game against Michigan that year. He went on to serve as Cass County Attorney for 46 years and was a leader in tribal councils as well as the National Council for Indian Affairs.
