Harker submitting the opinion of Justice Barnes for the Appellate Court in the case of North against the Board of Trustees. October 13, 1916 President Edmund J. James, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois DEAR SIR: I am pleased to hand you a copy of the opinion delivered by Mr. Justice Barnes for the Appellate Court in the case of North against the Board of Trustees. You will see that the Court in reversing the judgment of the Circuit Court, does so upon the lines argued by us before the industrial board, and also in the Circuit and Appellate Courts. T h e position, which was made clear by the testimony of Mr. Abbott, is that while the University does handle dangerous elements, it does so simply as incident to carrying on the business of education. I suppose this will end the case, but should the administrator appeal to the Supreme Court, I have confidence that the opinion of Judge Barnes will be sustained. Sincerely yours, O. A. HARKER Legal Counsel
