with the Rector, Fred. W. Scott, and Visitors Corbitt, Garnett, Hall, Rinehart, Stuart, L. C.
Williams and R. Gray Williams, and President Newcomb present. Absent Mr. Goolrick and Mrs.
Munford. "It will be recalled that at a meeting of this Board held on June
14th, 1937, I read certain letters which had passed between my office and
Messrs. Smith, Wild, Beebe and Cades, Attorneys of Honolulu, representing
the widow and daughter of Dr. Charles M. Fauntleroy, deceased, by whose
will a portion of his estate was left to the University, and at said meeting
the following resolution was adopted. "The Executive Committee feels that the faculty should be substantially enlarged
just as soon as possible. I was advised when at the school that definite arrangements
had been completed for the addition of one member to the faculty. This is
a start, but there whould be two or three more additions just as soon as possible.
I have written Dean Eager to this effect and have sent him a copy of the report
which I made, which he will doubtless show you. The Executive Committee hopes
that you will find a way to make the substantial additions to the faculty which
we regard as necessary to enable the law school at the University to maintain
and augment the enviable position it has enjoyed in legal education since the
the days of the great Minor." | | | Similar Items: | Find |
