Prof. Strobel's Resignation Accepted

The resignation of E. H. Strobel '77 as Bemis Professor or International Law was received and accepted at the last meeting of the Corporation, to take effect November 26, 1906.

In addition to his bachelor's degree, Professor Strobel received the degree of LL.B. in 1882 and of LL.D. last spring from the University. Professor Strobel's career has been eminently a diplomatic one. From 1885-90 he was Secretary of the United States Legation at Madrid; from 1893-94 Third Assistant Secretary of State. In 1894 he was made Minister Plenipotentiary to Ecuador and a little later to Chili, which position he held until 1897. Since that time he has been Bemis Professor of International Law in the University.

In 1903 Professor Strobel was made General Advisor to the Government of Siam, and has since lived in Siam the greater part of the time. As soon as his health permits, he will return to Siam to continue his duties as general Advisor.

The following vote was passed by the Corporation: "In accepting with regret Professor Strobel's resignation, the Corporation desire to record their high regard for his services to the University, which they know to have been interrupted and now terminated only by a mission offering unique opportunities of public usefulness."
