10. The Law of Corporations.

Professor Lile.

In view of the modern development of the law of corporations, both
in extent and importance, increasing attention is devoted to this branch
of the curriculum. Among other subjects of lesser import, the lectures
embrace the promotion, organization, and management of business corporations;
the formation and enforcement of subscriptions for shares;
corporate duties, powers, and liabilities; the relations between the corporation
and the State, between the corporate body and its shareholders,
officers, agents, and creditors, and the reciprocal relations of these with
one another; the consolidation, dissolution, and winding up of corporations;
and the appointment, duties, and powers of receivers. The principles
applicable to municipal corporations, whether in their public or their
proprietary characters, are fully elucidated; the subjects of municipal
taxation, municipal bonds, franchises, rights and liabilities in connection
with streets, as affecting the municipality, the public generally, and the
abutting proprietors, are dealt with in detail.—February 1 to end of
