Is A Provision For The Initiative And Referendum Inconsistent With The Constitution Of The United States?, W. A. Coutts

Michigan Law Review

We are told today that the Constitution of the United States forbids the adoption of the Initiative and the Referendum, as these involve such purely democratic principles as to be inconsistent with the republican form of government guaranteed by the fourth section of the fourth article of the Federal Constitution. The special interests that are opposed to the Initiative tell us that we must find some other cure for the evils at which it aims; that the Initiative is a purely democratic principle and, as such, it is forbidden by the fourth section of the fourth article of the Federal …

Notice To, Or Knowledge Of, An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

In general-the question frequently arises whether the principal may be affected not only by the agent's acts and contracts, but also by the knowledge which he may possess, or the notice which may come to him, respecting the subject matter of the agency, and which would have affected the principal had it come to him while he was acting in person. The question has arisen in a great variety of forms, but the answer has been substantially uniform, and is commonly found stated in the language of the following section. Many reasons have been assigned, but they are all predicated …

Surface Water In Cities, John R. Rood

Articles

It is evident that no one hard and fast rule could be applied to all cases, either in city or country, without producing injustice and impolitic results. The needs and conditions in city and country are different. They usually differ widely in different parts of the same city. These considerations have induced the Supreme Court of New Hampshire to adopt the flexible rule, that: "In determining this question all the circumstances of the case would, of course, be considered; and among them the nature and importance of the improvements sought to be made, the extent of the interference with the …

The Extent Of The Land To Which A Mechanics' Lien Attaches, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

The statutes of the various states which define the scope and extent of mechanics' liens differ somewhat in respect to the quantity of land subject to such lien. Some arbitrarily limit it to a specified number of city lots or acres, but many statutes provide that the lien shall attach to the lot or land upon which the building or other improvement is situated, or to so much contiguous land as is necessary for the convenient use of the building. In most cases no difficulty arises in applying these provisions, but the terms are evidently loose and general, and it …

General Statements:

Location:

The founders of Richmond College showed rare wisdom and foresight in selecting a location for their institution. Rich­mond is not only the capital of Virginia, but is the best known city in the South, and one of the historic cities of the world. Enduring memorials of American heroes constantly teach les­sons of patriotism and inspire young men with noble ideals. The busy city, with its varied manufactories and extensive commerce, reminds the student that the modern scholar must be practical as well as learned.

Richmond lies midway between the severe cold of the North and the relaxing …
