he exerted upon hundreds of young men the influence of a scholarly, generous and kindly personality. His mind was without guile; his heart was quick to respond to every suggestion of need. He did not walk amid the traffic of the world, yet all who passed his way felt a touch of the spirit of this true and modest man. Upon the tablet erected to his memory in Boardman Hall are these just words: Vir bonus juris peritus.

HAYES, ALFRED, Jr. A.B., 1895 (Princeton), LL.B. 1898 (Columbia) Mr. Hayes practiced law in New York City from 1898 until 1907. Coincidentally with practicing law, he also from 1902 to 1907 was a tutor and later a lecturer in the Columbia law school. In 1907, he became professor of law at Cornell. After ten years of service on the Cornell law faculty he resigned in 1917 and resumed practice in New York City. Professor Hayes was a great favorite with his students. His legal ability and his fine ardor in the class room stirred their interest in such fashion that he is remembered appreciatively by all of them.

HARDON, HENRY WINTHROP. A.B. 1882 (Harvard), LL.B. 1885 (Harvard). After ten years practice in New York City, Mr. Hardon was appointed professor of law at Cornell, where he taught during the year 1895-1896. He was then called to a professorship of law at the Columbia Law School, where he remained until 1899, when he resumed practice in New York City.

HUGHES, CHARLES EVANS. A.B. 1881 (Brown University), LL.B. 1884 (Columbia). From 1884 until 1891 Mr. Hughes was engaged in the practice of law in New York City. He was professor of law at Cornell for two years, from 1891 to 1893, and non-resident lecturer from 1893 to 1895. From Jan. 1, 1907 to Oct. 6, 1910, he was governor of the State of New York, upon which latter date he resigned that office. In October, 1910, he became an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, from which position he resigned in 1916, upon receiving the Republican nomination for the presidency. Since 1916 he has been engaged in practice in New York City. The students of Judge Hughes's day in the law school were vastly impressed then, as the courts and his fellow lawyers are now, by his extraordinary reasoning power, his amazing memory, and the ease with which he uses both.

HUTCHINS, HARRY BURNS. Ph.B. 1871 (University of Michigan), LL.D. 1897 (University of Wisconsin). Mr. Hutchins was born in New Hampshire in 1847. After his admission to the bar in 1876, and until 1887, he was engaged in practice at Mt. Clemens and Detroit, Michigan. From 1884 to 1887 he was Jay professor of law in the University of Michigan having been appointed to succeed Judge Cooley in that chair. In 1887 he was called to Cornell as professor of law and to become the active executive head and chief organizer of the new law school. Professor Hutchins returned to his Alma Mater in 1895 to become dean of her law school. In recognition of his distinguished ability as an administrator he was made president of the University of Michigan in 1909, a position from which he will retire at the end of the present academic year. At Cornell he was a thorough, methodical and considerate teacher and executive. In his class room and in his office his urbane and dignified personality commanded the respect of the students. He was just and reasonable in the conduct of affairs. All these qualities found exercise in the establishment of the traditions of the Cornell law school at a time of beginnings. He was a large factor in overcoming the many obstacles that naturally attend the inauguration of a new institution. To his retirement he will happily carry with him the kindliest appreciation by the alumni of two universities.

POUND, CUTHBERT WINFRED. Judge Pound is a native of Lockport, N. Y. He was a member of the class of 1887 at Cornell. From 1886 until 1895 he practiced law in Lockport. In 1894-95 he was a member of the New York State Senate. He became a member of the law faculty at Cornell in 1895 and held a professorship for nine years, returning to practice at Lockport in 1904. He was a member of the New York State Civil Service Commission from 1900 to 1905, and its president during four years of his tenure. In January, 1905, he became legal adviser to Governor Higgins, by whom he was appointed a justice of the New York Supreme Court in the spring of the following year. He remained upon the Supreme bench until 1915 when he was designated to sit in the Court of Appeals of which he has since become an associate judge by election. He is now serving his second term as a trustee of Cornell University. His public career began at the age of twenty-five as city attorney of Lockport, and at thirty he was a prominent member of the State senate. He became a professor in the Cornell law school at the age of thirty-one. Judge Pound is at once a student and an active man of affairs. In his exposition of the law in the class room legal theory was always expounded under the watchful eye of the god of things as they are. For him legal prob

lems do not exist in a vacuum. He is a legal ecologist. The characteristics of his teaching,-a swift, incisive and often epigrammatic disposition of a question appeared again in the rapidity and good sense with which as a trial judge he conducted the business of his court. As a judge of the court of last resort in New York his opinions bear evidence of breadth of view and an enlightened regard for the spirit of the time, while not departing from whatsoever things have been found true. As trustee of Cornell University he manifests the liveliest interest in all the affairs of the institution and particularly the law school.

REDFIELD, HENRY STEPHEN. A.B. 1877 (Amherst), A.M. 1887 (Amherst). Mr. Redfield was admitted to the bar in 1879, and practiced law in Elmira, N. Y., until 1898. From the latter year until 1901, he was professor of practice and procedure in the Cornell law school. In 1901 he was called to a professorship in the Columbia law school, and in 1905 he was made Nash Professor of Law in that school. This chair he occupied until, in 1916, he was forced by illness to retire. Professor Redfield was successful in teaching the particularly refractory subject of Practice. He came to Cornell after twenty years of actual work as a practitioner and was consequently equipped with a background of experience that was invaluable. He soon organized his experience into material systematically arranged for the class room. His three years in the school contributed very materially to the firm establishment of that part of the curriculum. He was gentle yet firm, with the gift of painstaking labor.

WILLIAMS, CHARLES LAIDLAW. A.B. 1906 (Columbia), LL.B. 1908 (Columbia). Mr. Williams was acting assistant professor of law from April to December, 1913, taking Professor Woodruff's courses during a few months' absence of the latter.

WYCKOFF, DE WITTE B. LL.B. 1910 (Cornell). Mr. Wyckoff was appointed acting assistant professor in the law school in 1914, upon the occasion of a leave of absence granted to Dean Irvine, and remained at the school in that capacity for two years. He is now engaged in legal editorial work in New York City.
