JUDGE O. A. HARKER.

lo the Board of Trustees. Judge O. A. Harker of the Appellate Court has been a constant and efficient helper of our School of Law since its opening two years ago. His service has far exceeded that of an ordinary non-resident lecturer. He has organized and presided regularly at the Moot Courts, or, if unable to be present upon any particular occasion, he has charged himself with the responsibility of securing another judge to take his place. He has lectured upon criminal law and prepared the examinations therein. In more ways than can be specified he has been the friend and judicious adviser of the school. I suppose that he has visited the University for this purpose, and remained a day or two, as often as everv alternate week through the last two years. Judge Harker has prosecuted this work as a labor of love, because of his interest in the University and his desire to uplift his profession. It was the understanding at the beginning that he would be reimbursed his expenses,, but he has never presented a bill nor been paid anything. He tells me that the account would reach the neighborhood of $500. The services has farexceeded the original understanding.
