ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
J. ROBERTS DAILEY
J. Roberts Dailey was a 1941 graduate of Indiana State
University, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in
Business. Dailey was also a former Speaker of the Indiana
House of Representatives.
Mr.
Dailey was considered the most powerful man in state government
during his 3 terms in the House of Representatives. He was
formally elected and sworn in as Speaker of the 102nd Indiana
General Assembly in November, 1980.
Growing up in Riley, Indiana and working his way through ISU, Dailey
served in World War II and then began his career in real estate in
1946. He eventually worked his way up to ownership of his own
sales and development firm in Muncie.
Elected to the House in 1976, J. Roberts Dailey was an outspoken
opponent of state-supported gambling and used the powerful Speaker's
position to stave off the creation of a state lottery. The

office.
