Ith, 1379, the following resolution was adopted on motion of Rogent Rynd. Whereai, We have reasuu to believe that the leetures in the Law Department are irregular and frequently omitted by different professors lor many uays and even weeks at a time, to the great detriment of that department ; thcrefore, Resolved, That the Executive Coinmittee be direeted to inquire into the facts, and report at the neit meeting of thia board the exteut to which this habit of absenting themaelves from duty at the regular lecture honra has been practiced by the professors in the Law Department, as near as the ame can be ascertaiued, during the present college year. nd Whsreas, Since we have been in attendance wpon the lectures during the last two years, we believe ouiselves to be in a better position than auy others to know of anyomissions or inattention on the part oí our faculty in the discharge of their duties, if any sucl: Hiere has been. And Whkbkas, The insinuations made in the resolution passed, not only reñects upon our faculty in the positions they occupy and on tlieir private characters as high minded gentlemen, but also afftct injuriously the welfare and standing of the whnlfi (lpnürtmimt AnH Whbheas, No such omiasions or nogligences as are rcferred to have occurred within the last two years, but on the contrary we know thut our leeturors havo faithfully discharged their duties to us as a department, aud besides have ever mmifested a Hvely interest in the progresa of tLe students aa was esjieoially showu in the gratuitous examinatiuna wilh whicli Judge Cooley favored the Júniora last year. and in extra lectules delivered by uil the professors. And Whekeas, ïhe Law Department of Michigan University ia second to noue in thia country. It has become a aource of revenue to the mstitution. The Regenta themselven in their last memorial to the Legislature say, " The Law College ia exceedingly prosperous and much more than aelf-sustaining." Itarapid growth and efficiency is due eutire-" ly to the untiiing faithfulness of the present faculty, eonsisting of men eminent for theic legal learning and virtuea, appointed and holding their present poaitiona on account of their special iitnesa aa inatructors. Over 400 studenta attracted from 28 States and from forein landa are at present availing themselvea of the advantages it offera. Be it therefore Resolved, That the above resolution in the slurs and insulta it impliedly oifers to the Law professors is wholly falae and without justidcation. And be it further Kcsolved, Tliat this action of the Regents could not have come from diainterested motives , and we appeal to the Alumni of the Univetsity, the Prese, and the people of Michigan to save the best intereats of our Department from irreparable injury. Signed, GEO. M. BLAKE, Chairman, H. M. W00DP01U), J. J. MÜNN, C. E. EPLEU, R. B. MoNIGIIT, K. MIHILLS. Adopted by the whole department without a diesenting voice. February llth, 18T9.
