Harry Burns Hutchins (April 8, 1847 – January 25, 1930)〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=9 April 2009 )〕 was the fourth president of the University of Michigan (1909–1920). He was initially named interim president for one year (1909–1910) to succeed James Burrill Angell, but his term was later extended after several other candidates, including Woodrow Wilson, were offered the presidency and declined. Previously, during the absence of President Angell as United States Minister to Turkey, Hutchins had served as Acting President from 1897 to 1898. Hutchins served as the dean of the university's Law Department from 1895 to 1910. Hutchins Hall, the main classroom and administrative building of the law school, is named after him.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=University of Michigan Law Quad's corbels tell a story )〕 From 1887 to 1894, Hutchins organized and led the law department at Cornell University. At the age of nineteen, in 1866, Hutchins matriculated at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. However, his failing health prevented him from completing his studies there. Subsequently, Hutchins graduated from the University of Michigan in 1871.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harry Burns Hutchins )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harry B. Hutchins )〕 While at the University of Michigan, he was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity. After graduation he became the superintendent of schools in Owosso, Michigan and then was appointed instructor in rhetoric and history at Michigan for three years. While teaching, he simultaneously studied law and took a law degree in 1876. After practicing law in Mt. Clemens, Michigan with his father-in-law for eight years, he returned to Ann Arbor to teach law as the Jay Professor of Law.〔 In 1887, Cornell University recruited him to serve as its first law school dean, but the University of Michigan Law Department lured him back to become its dean in 1895. At Michigan, he instituted a three-year course of study and promoted the teaching through the study of cases instead of by lectures alone.〔 He received honorary LL.D. degrees from the University of Wisconsin (1897), Wesleyan University (1916), Notre Dame University (1917), the University of California (1918), and the University of Michigan (1921). == Sources == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harry Burns Hutchins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
