University of
Washington law student and law professor.
Vivian Morgan Carkeek, son of Morgan and Emily Carkeek, was born
November 23, 1879. He was a member of the first class (1901) of the University
of Washington Law School. He went into legal practice upon receiving his degree
and was a partner in the firm of Carkeek, McDonald, Harris and Coryell. He was
active in Seattle civic and social affairs, and served as president of the
Seattle Historical Society. Carkeek was nominated for president of the UW
Alumni Association in 1923. He went on to teach at the University of Washington
Law School from 1930-1931. He started the Vivian Carkeek Prize, "for the best
student contribution to the Washington Law Review
on a point of Washington law or any point of peculiar interest to Washington
attorneys," which the UW Law School continues to award, as of 2004.
The Vivian M. Carkeek papers contain materials from his study of law
at the University of Washington, and from the courses he taught at the
university. Eight of Carkeek's notebooks from his time as a law student,
labeled by their subject matter, are found in the collection. Two other
notebooks contain information and notes about literature. These notebooks,
along with a large manual containing lesson plans related to title law, make up
the bulk of the collection. Other miscellaneous items include a copy of an
International Workers of the World (IWW) songbook, bylaws of the Selah Moxee
Canal Co., and a folder of clippings, book reviews, and other miscellaneous
writings by Carkeek.
