One of these sea birds was in the habit of staying in a fisherman's house all the year round except at the breeding season, when it left. About a fortnight ago, while the gull was away, the fisherman removed his home some three and a half miles from the former place. The fisherman never expected to see his old friend the gull again. It was therefore, much to his astonishment that he beheld on a recent Sunday the sea bird come walking Into his new residence with stalely steps to resume hiB old familiarities and houseIn Dean was Harry B.

So well did he discharge his duties, that when, in the minds of the regents, It was advisable to appoint a temporary president, thus giving them a longer time in which to make a selection of a permanent one, there was never any question but that Dean Hutchins should have that position, provided he could be prevailed upon to accept it. Dean Hutchins' reputation does not end, by any manner ol means, with his being a member of the faculty of Michigan's law department. He is known and recognized throughout the Cntted States as an able lawyer. Dean Hutchins was graduated from the 1'nlversity of Michigan in the class of '71. ATter being admitted to the bar he practiced law in Mount Clemens. In 1884 he was appointed Jay professor of law in the university, and three years later was called to Cornell university to aid in organizing law department of the newly-formethat institution.
