OF DR.. Angel in Turkey, where he
represented the United States as min
lister to the sublime Porte, that Dean
Hutchins was first appointed acting
president. So well did he discharge
his duties, that when, in the minds
of the regents, it was advisable to
appoint temporary president, thus
giving them a longer time in which
to make selection of permanent
one, there was never any question but
that Dean Hutchins should have that
position, provided he could be pre-
vailed upon to accept 1t.
Dean Hutchins' reputation does not
end, by any manner of means, with
his being member of the faculty of
Michigan's law department He is
known and recognized throughout the
United States as an able lawyer.
Dean Hutchins was graduated from
the University Of Michigan in the
class of II. After being admitted
to the bar he practiced law in Mount
Clemens. In 1884 he was appointed
Jay professor Of law in the university,

Nashua, N. H.-For about forty
