PRO ECCLESIA ET PATRIA. HARTFORD: PRESS OF WM. FAXON. 1847. ADVERTISEMENT. THE undersigned, a Committee of the CoRPORATION to prepare and publish a Calendar of Trinity College, Hartferd, for the current year, lmve ananged and put forth the present work; which they trust will in some degree meet the objects of its compilation. The purpose of an annual Calendar of this kind is, to exhibit, at one view, the actual condition of the whole academical Society. A series of such publications thus becomes a history of the progress of such a Soci­ ety; and enables all its memuers to understand minute­ ly its wants and its circumstances. It will be seen, then, that it.. is desirable that a copy should be kept by every member of the College. It is presumed that, in a first issue of this kind, some inaccuracies will be discovered; and, in order that the Calendar of the succeeding year may be more perfect, the Committee would be happy to receive any necessary information, directed to the President.

TmNITY CoLLEGE, HARTFORD, is an academic Soci­ ety, of which the control is vested in a ConPORA'rioN, known in law by the style or title of The Trustees of Trinity College. The design of a College in New England, connected with the Church of tl~e inother-country, and so far as possible modelled after its celebrated Universities, originated with the excellent BERKELEY,, Bishop of Cloyne, who with this view purchased an estate, and resided for some time in Rhode Island. Though he was compelled reluctantly to relinquish his project, it was n~verthe~ess not eutirely without fruits. To his example -.and benefactions may be traced much of that interest in sound learning and Christian education which led to the first efforts for the establishment of a similar institution in Connecticut. A Convocation of the Clergy of the Diocese, held in 1792, under SEABURY, first Bislwp of Connecticut, took tbe primary steps towards establishing the Episco­ pal Academy at Cheshire; and this, though incorpo­ rated with limited privileges, was intended as the foundation for a higher institution, so soon as a charter conferring full collegiate powers could be obtain,ed from / 8 the State. It was often styled familiarly Tl•e Seabury College. Bishop BROWNELL, who succeeded to the Episcopate in 1819, was enabled very shortly to perfect these de­ signs. The charter of Washington College was grant­ ed in 1823; and in the following year the institution was opened at Hartford, under the presidency of the Bishop. In 1845, by permission of the L egislature, the name of the Co11ege was changed to its present style, to attest forever the faith of its founders, and their zeal for the perpetual glory and honour of the ONE HoLY AND UNDIVIDED TRINITY. To this brief History must be added some account of the internal organization and condition of the Co11ege. The SENATUS AcADEMicus consists of two houses, known as the CoRPORATION and the HousE oF CoNvo­ CATION. The CoRPORATION, on which the other house is whol­ ly dependent, and to which, by law, belongs the supreme control of the Co11ege, consists of not more than twen­ ty-four Trustees, resident within the State of Connecti­ cut; the President of the College being ex officio one of the number, and president of the same. They have authority to fill their own vacancies; to appoint to offices and professorships; to direct and manage the funds for the good of the College ; and, in general, to 9 exercise the powers of a Collegiate Society, according to the provisions of the charter. THE HousE OF CoNvocATION consists of the Fel­ lows and Professors of Trinity College, with all per­ sons who have received any academic degree whatever in the same, except such as have been lawfully de­ prived of their privileges. Its business is such as may from time to time be delegated by the Corporation, from which it derives its existence ; and is, at present, limited to consulting and advising for the good of the College; nominating the Junior Fellows, and all candidates for admission ad eundem; making laws fur its own regulation; proposing plans, measures or counsel to the Corporation ; and to instituting, endowing and naming, with concurrence of the same, professorships, scholarships, prizes, medals, and the like. The CHANCELLOR and VISITOR. Such are the titles, under \~' hich supervisory powers, with special reference to the moral and religious interests of the academical body, are entrusted to the Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut. The PRESIDENT. This officer, as his title imports, is the resitlent head and Rector of the College, and the Executive of all laws for the discipline of UIH1er-gradu­ ates. The FELLows. There are six Fellows appointed by the Corporation alone, and six Junior Fellows, who must be Masters of Arts, appointed by the Corporation .. 10 on 11omination of Convocation ; and these together make the Board of Fellows. To this Board the Cor­ poration commits the superintendence of the strictly academical business of the College ; of the course of study and examinations ; of the statutes and di~cipline; of the library, cabinet, chapel, halls, grounds, collegi­ ate dress, and the like; and also certain powers and privileges in recommending for degrees. Each Fel­ low and Junior Fellow is elected for three years; but there is no emolument connected with the office, be­ sides a provision for necessary expenses incurred iu its discharge. The Fellows therefore, under e~isting laws, are not ordinarily resident. The DEAN OF CoNVOCATION presides in that House, and is elected by the same, from year to year. The PRoFESSORS hold their appointments from the Corporation, and by lectures and otherwise, instruct in their several departments. vVith the President and Tutors, they alsO'form a board of government and con­ trol over the under-graduates. Tll"TORS and LECTURERS are appointed from time to time by the Corporation to assist the professors in sev­ eral departments of instruction. Private Tutors have no recognized character as officers of the College. ScuoLARSliiPS. These are permanent endowments, held by certain under-graduates according to the terms of their foundation, and paying stipends of different amounts to their incumbents. HALLs. There are three buildings belonging to the 11 College, which in 1845, received the name of the first three Bishops of the Diocese. SEABURY-HALL, erected in 18 ~5 , contains the Chapel, and the Library, Cabi­ net,anu other public chambers. JARVIS-HALL, erected in the same year, and BRoWNELL-HALL, erected in 1845, contain rooms for the officers and students; and one of the wings of the latter is the residence of a Pro­ ' fessor and his family. The GRoUNDS, on which the halls are erected, are an area of fourteen acres, laid out with walks, and orna­ mented with shade-trees and shrubbery. The site is elevated, overlooking on one side the city of Hartford, within the limits of which the grounds are partly situa­ ted; and on the other the Little River (a branch of the Connecticut,) which forms theit· western boundary. This river is suitable for boating and for exercise in swimming. TrrE LIBRARY AND CABINET. There are three thou­ sand volumes belonging to the College, arranged in alcm·cs, and occupying a room in Seabury-Hall, in which are also the portraits of sevet·al officers and ben­ efactors of the College. There arc also two libraries belonging to societies of under-graduates, containing an aggregate of six thousand volumes. The cabinet is an extensive collection of minerals and geological speci­ mens. A ·valuable pl~ilosopltical appamtus is distributed through the lecture-rooms of the seyeral professors re­ quiring its aiel in their instructions. TERMS. There are three terms in the year, of from 12 twelve to fourteen weeks each: during which every under-graduate is required to be resident, unless under special dispensation from the President. ExAMINATIONS. These are held at the end of each T erm, in presence of examiners appointed by the Fel­ lows, from their own number, or otherwise; and every under-graduate is required to be present and sustain his prescribed examinations at such times, unless a special examination is allowed for sufficient causes. VACATION. The Christmas vacation is two weeks from the Thursday preceding Christmas day.

    Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer As Civic Linchpin In

    Where Did All the Lawyers Go? Challenging Perceptions of the Lawyer as Civic Linchpin in New Haven: 1830‐1890 By: Leslie Esbrook1 ‐But above all a lawyer will find his highest honor in a deserved reputation for fidelity to private trust and to public duty, as an honest man and as a patriotic and loyal citizen. –The Final Prays of the Canon of Ethics2 Lawyers have traditionally been portrayed as models for civic representation, epitomized by their role in the founding of the Republic. In recent studies a consensus has formed around the idea that the legal profession lost its civic‐mindedness, sometime between the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Consequently, the story goes, lawyers have lost a key part of the profession that elevated the law to a higher plane compared to other career paths. This paper will explore the history of this shift using New Haven and the greater Connecticut forum for empirical data. The paper will challenge the historical narrative by detailing internal inconsistencies amongst leading scholars, both in terms of time frame of decline and the amount and kind of civic participation envisioned as exemplary. I will show that, at least at the local level in New Haven, the shift of lawyers as history remembers did not occur in a radical, sudden fashion at all; by the end of the century a non‐trivial amount of lawyers continued to fully participate in civic life. Finally, I will track prevalent theories behind the myth of the lawyer’s civic decline and superimpose them on the facts relative to New Haven to show that the conflicting results accrued from the data support the absence of causal findings for the current theories in vogue.

This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

    Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No

    Records of the Office of Governor, 1820-1858 State Archives Record Group No. 005 History Before the adoption of the Constitution of 1818, Connecticut governed itself by the Fundamental Orders (1639) and the Colonial Charter (1662). From 1776 to 1818, the provisions of the Charter remained in force except for the elimination of the words “Crown” and “Parliament.” The Orders and the Charter created the office of the governor, but did not make it an independent executive department. Except when exercising powers in wartime as “Captain-General” of the militia, the governor did not enjoy the powers granted late twentieth-century Connecticut governors. He presided over the General Court, later known as the General Assembly, and could vote only in cases of ties. Under the Charter, he sat as part of the Council, the colonial upper house. The governor could also convene the legislature for special business. In neither government was the governor an independent executive. His influence depended on his political skills. The State’s first written constitution of 1818 created three independent branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judicial. It “vested” the “supreme executive power” in the office of the governor.1 Another clause further mandated that the chief executive “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Only white men who were electors and had reached the age of thirty years were eligible for the office of governor. Annually in April all the qualified white electors in each town cast votes for gubernatorial candidates.2 On the first day of the May session of the legislature, the two houses examined the canvass reports and chose the governor.

    NOTES on the HISTORY of the FEDERAL COURT of CONNECTICUT* by Josk A

    THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT* By Josk A. CABRANES** Chief Judge Feinberg, Judge Oakes, Mr. Fiske, distinguished guests and friends: I am honored and pleased to be here this afternoon. I am especially pleased because I think it is always salutary to remind New York residents, including judges and lawyers, that there is life (and law) on the far side of the Bronx. I say this, if I may indulge in a snippet of autobiography, as one who spent his childhood in that very borough, and his adolescence in furthest Queens, deep in the Eastern District, until I came, in the ripeness of years and by the grace of Kingman Brewster, and Abraham Ribicoff, to New Haven in the District of Connecticut. That being my personal odyssey, I like to look upon it as a progress of sorts. This is the third of our Second Circuit Historical Lectures. The series can now be said to have something of a history of its own. In preparing these remarks on my own court in the District of Connecticut, I have looked to the lectures of Judge Weinfeld and Judge Nickerson in much the same way that one consults the authorities on a given point of law. Now and again, those lectures have provided me with precedent, but (in the fashion of our profession) from time to time I found it appropriate to distin- guish the early cases. For the District of Connecticut is rather different from its southern - and, as we shall see, junior - cousins.
