1. The Law of Corporations.

Professor Lile.

The recent development of the law of corporations,
both in extent and importance, has induced special stress to
be laid upon 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 each other; 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
etc., rights and liabilities in connection with streets,
as affecting the municipality, the public generally and the
abutting proprietor, are dealt with in detail.—September 15
to February 15—Twice a week.

Text-Book—Taylor on Corporations (used session 1896-97; Clark may
