Excerpt from Cornell University: Report of a Special Committee on the Establishment of a Department of Law; Together With a Prelimianry Announcement of the Action of the Trustees in Establishing Such a Department
Gentlemen: -
The Committee appointed at the November meeting of the Trustees to consider the desirability of the establishment in the near future of a Law Department in this University, beg leave to present the following report;
In our opinion there can be no justification of the founding of a Law School at Cornell University unless it can be shown:
(1). That the matter of education in the law is of great importance;
(2). That provisions for such education are not already ample;
(3). That education, at least in part, in a Law School, is better than education procured exclusively in a private office;
(4). That Cornell University is so situated as to promise successful results in case a Law School is founded;
(5). That the establishment of a Law School is justified by the fundamental laws of the University;
(6). That larger results are likely to come from the expenditures necessary for the establishment of a Law School, than would be likely to come from the same expenditures in any other way;
(7). That the finances of the University will justify the necessary expenditures.
Let us address ourselves to each of these considerations.
I. As to the Importance of Education in the Law. Inquiry on this subject may seem to be common-place and superfluous; but in a matter of so much importance, it cannot be inappropriate to review the grounds of our impressions.
