D E A R PRESIDENT KINLEY:

I herewith tender my resignation as dean of the College of Law. It is with regret that I have decided to accept a call from a sister institution, as I feel a deep and abiding affection for the University of Illinois and its law school. But the opportunity to give up general administrative duties in order to devote myself to teaching and writing and keeping up with my subject seems to make the desicion a wise one. I thank you heartily for your kindness and sympathetic interest in our work, an wish you and the University all success in the coming years. Faithfully yours,

HENRY W. PALLANTINE
