Vincennes Case Before Court Over University Bonds
Oral arguments in the Vincennes University bond case were heard in the supreme court. Former Gov J Frank Hanly pleaded for a perpetual injunction to stop the auditor and secretary of state from signing bonds to reimburse the university for 1940 acres of land taken by the state. Hanly said the university holds no enforceable obligation to sign the bonds and would contract a debt for an imaginary liability. Attorney Addison C Harris, for the university, argued the legislature acted within its powers in 1907 and invoked moral grounds. Arguments completed, case taken under advisement.
