Raul Berger dies; legal, musical virtuoso
A virtuoso violinist by his late 20s, Raoul Berger left a successful music career with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1932 on his way to becoming a leading expert on the Constitution and the law.
Becoming a virtuoso in the law as well, he eventually published seven books, wrote more than 100 scholarly articles and served as a senior research fellow at the Harvard University Law School.
Mr. Berger died Saturday at age 99.
"He was a man of the 'old school' who had this wonderful breadth about him," said Bruce Petrie, a Cincinnati lawyer and friend. "He was a virtuouso violinist in his early days, and then he became a leading scholar on the Constitution."
Born in Russia in 1901, Mr. Berger was the oldest-living former member of the CSO and among the last links to the orchestra's "golden years" under music director Fritz Reiner. He served as associate concertmaster four years, from 1928-32, and founded the Cincinnati String Quartet and co-founded the Cin cinnati Chamber Music Society.
In the essay, "A Fiddler Turned Lawyer," which was quoted in a tribute to the legal scholar in the publication Benchmark, Mr. Berger explained his devotion to the violin:
"(M)usic-making is more than a succession of beautiful sounds, more than a medium for mere personal expression ... the prime task of the artist is to search for and lay bare the meaning that is imprisoned in the little black dots, which weave their way across the music staves."
Yet it was while working with what was considered among the best orchestras of its time that Mr. Berger decided to forego a music career and return to school. Years later, he recalled his disdain for Reiner and credited the director with inspiring him to seek another field.
In his second career, Mr. Berger gained even more renown. He graduated from Northwestern University Law School in 1935, and entered two years of private practice in Chicago and one year of graduate study at the Harvard University Law School.
From 1940 to 1946, he served in the federal government as special assistant to the Attorney General and general counsel to the Alien Property Custodian. He then spent 16 years practicing law in Washington, D.C.
While working in Washington, Berger was invited to meet Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, who had played the violin himself. He praised Berger for his courage in switching from music to law. "It was like the laying on of hands to me," he said.
He became a professor of law at the University of California at Berkeley in 1962 and taught American legal history at Harvard Law School from 1971 to 1976. Throughout his career, he wrote more than 100 law articles.
Among his seven books, Mr. Berger wrote "Impeachment," which was published just before President Richard Nixon left office, and in it argued that impeachment did not require an indictable crime, but was satisfied by abuse of an office.
He penned his second book, "Executive Privilege," after Nixon resigned and it dismissed claims that the President was authorized to keep governmental matters secret from Congress.
As a Constitutional scholar, Mr. Berger placed the highest priority on the intents of the original framers - even when those findings seemed to contradict his personal feelings.
In Cincinnati to give the 1991 Seasongood lecture, Mr. Berger said he came to his study of the Constitution with a bias against states' rights because he associated them with the defense of slavery and government-mandated racial segregation. But, he said, the integrity of the Constitution must be paramount.
Mr. Berger had lived in Concord, Mass., for the past 31 years. He leaves his wife, the former Patricia Wolcott; a son, Dr. Carl Berger of Philadelphia; and two grandchildren. Memorial services to be announced.

Father Harland, 63, missionary
Father Norman E. Harland, a Jesuit priest who spent more than 30 years as a missionary to children in India, died Friday in Evanston, Ill. He was 63.
A native of Cincinnati, Father Harland attended St. Bernard Elementary School, St. Xavier High School and entered the Jesuit Novitiate at Milford in 1954. He received a bachelor's degree in literature and masters' degrees in Greek and Latin from Loyola University, Chicago. He left the U.S. in 1962 for India, where he was ordained a priest at Pune in 1967.
From the beginning of his apostolate in India, Father Harland was concerned with the education of the young in impoverished areas. He spoke fluent Hindi and Bhojurpi, an Indian dialect, and taught and served in various capacities at high schools in India until the late 1970s when he returned to the U.S. to complete a master's in education at Xavier University in Cincinnati. In 1980 he was named coordinator of education for the Jesuit Province in Patna, India, and also served as an assistant pastor in the historic Gahiri Mission.
"He loved the ordinary people, the children. He wanted to give them the best education possible," said Father Robert Grib, a colleague who also served in India.
"All Norm's life, he seemed to thrive on the strange and unexplored," said Father Paul Faulstich, also a colleague in India. "He mixed with the teams at practice, shared tea with shopkeepers and volunteered to preach on Sundays. He was a born conversationalist. He could tell a story like few others."
Father Faulstich said Father Harland's final years in India were his favorite ones.
"On a forsaken plot of ground in the village of Gahiri in northern Bihar, Norm built a school and church for the people of the place," Father Faulstich said. "It was just a few acres. Conditions were primitive. Electricity nil. He invited the Notre Dame sisters to come from Patna and help, and together they transformed the place."
Father Harland returned to the U.S. in 1988 to serve as provincial assistant for International Ministry, and Social Ministry, and director of Jesuit International Missions Inc. in Chicago. In 1993 he became rector, school chaplain and a trustee at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Ill., and was named assistant to the president there in 1999, until illness forced his retirement.
Father Harland leaves four brothers, Kevin Harland of Cincinnati, and Jerome, Gregory, and Raymond Harland, and two sisters, Carolyn Balog and Margaret Griffin.
Services were Monday at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Ill. Memorials may be made to the Jesuit International Missions, 2245 Gilbert Ave., Cincinnati, or to Loyola Academy, the Norman Harland SJ Scholarship Endowment, 1100 Laramie Ave., Wilmette, Ill.
