The students of' the law department hela a jukt meeting last Thuisday, ar,d adopted the following resolutions on the death of Judge Campbell : Dep't of Law, University of Michigan. March 27, 1890. Wherea it has pleased Almlghty God In the dispensation of an all wise Providence to cali from his labors, in the midst of an active and useful llfe. the einzen, educator and jurist, in the person of Hon. James V. Campbell, and Whereas, the Held of his usefulness had become BO broad that the state and nation now mouni his loss; yetwe are reminded that his honored name was among those of the tlrst instrnctors of this lnstltution, and that it was his strong arm which helped bear up our Alma Mater in her infancy ; therefore it is meet ihat we students of the Department of Law of the University of Michigan nhould manifest our deep regret at the lots of one who not only ennobled our profession, but left the Impresa of his strong personality and great and varied learning upon the students of his profession during his twenty-five yeara of labor in the Department of Law. Therefore be it resolved, that we add OHr testimonial of respect and regret to the universal expression of sorrow at the great loss to the bar and society of so able a jurist, so excellent an Instructor and so pure a man. Resolved that we extend our sy mpathles to the bereaved family. Resolved that these resolutions be sent to the family and inscribed on our records, and a copy publlshed ín the newsparers. James Swan, Chairman. f J.C. Petherbridoe, I J. P. Flourney, Committee V. A. Powell, W. W. Phelfs. IWm. E. Thompson. Kenolatáons of Ihe Seunte. The University Senate met on Monlay evening and ado. teJ resolutious to the memory of Justice J. V. (Jampbell, who for so imny yearg assisted in the upbuilding of the law department of the univer.-ily. From the resolutions, the following is taken : " The senate is again in mourning. It has learned with sorrowlul emotion of the death of one of its former members, Mr. Justice James V. Campbell, of the Supreme Couit. Death came to him without warning on the morning o March 26, and iu a moment the silvtr cord oi life was loosed and its golden bowl was broken. Bolieving profoundly iu trie truth of kis own words that "there are few more profitable possessions for any learned institution Ihan the memories of those who have made their Uves a part of its history," we defire to place this memorial on the records of the Senate as an expression oi the oteern we entertain for one of the most distinguished naines connected with the history of the Univirsity of Michigan. Although the veil of death has beeu drawu between him and the living, and we shall not look upon his face again, yethis fame and honor remain an inheritance. We enroll his name in that catalogue of names that in ihe future yeare shall serve to make the anuals of the uuiversity resplendant. Kor while he rests from bis labors, ois works do follow him." After fi llowirg ihs exrly evenls of his life, the memorial continúes : "In 1859 the law department of the Uuivers'ty was opened and Judge Citrapbell was made Marshal prolessor of law. On Monday, Uctober 3, 1S59, the work of the law school began, the opening address being dehve-ied by Judge Campbell in the Presbyterian Church before the law class and the public generally, his theme beine "The Study ol the Law.' His associates in the faculty at üiat time, and for mimy years thercat'ler, were Thomas M. Cooley and Charles D. Walker, and togtther they constituted a splendid trlumvirate. Under their guidance the school grew and prospered.aud its lame spread throughout this and other lande. Thousands of students during the quarter of a century that Judge Campbell contmued connected with the school, have sat uuder his instructions, ben impressed by the profundity of his knowledge, charmed by the grace of his diction, enuobled Dy the purity of his life, and blessed by the benediclion of his countenance. The news of his death will carry sorrow to the bar of every state and territory in our country. In 1885 JudKe Campbell reluctantly resigned his proles9oihip in the law school, being compelled to to do by his advancing years and the pressure of his judicial duties, which were each year becoming more exacting. "There is but one man living to-day whose connectlon wilh the University antedates that of Judge Campbell, and hls does bul by a single year. In 1846-46 Judge Campbell waa secretary of the Board of Regenta. "This university will ever honor the memory of Mr. Justice Campbell, and while it mourns his death with deep Henslbility, it is thankful that in the providence of God he was enabled to achieve se much. Ihe Senate most deeply ympathi zes with tbe family so greatly bereaved, and implores for them the consol ation that comes from knowing that It has been divlnely written. "Blessed are the dead which die In the Lord.
