George E Church

George E. Church was a faculty member at the University from 1871 to 1882.  He accepted the position of professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln after receving a Law School degree from Ann Arbor, Michigan. He served as the first Principal of the Latin School, which was the University's preparatory school. He proved to be a powerful asset to the University, which he contributed to his time spent studying in Berlin. However, after over ten years of teaching, he decided to move west. He accepted a judge position in Fresno County, California, where he lived the rest of his life.

Board of Regents

Gentlemen: -

I desire leave of absence

during the next academic year to enable
me, at the University of Berlin, to further
prosecute my studies in the line of Roman
History, Literature and Antiquities. By the
kind voluntary recommendation of some
of their American friends, I shall be able
to secure complimentary admission to the
lectures of Professors Momensen + Curtines,
thus affording me a rare opportunity for
the accomplishment of my purpose.
Durin my absence, I undertake to make
satisfactory arrangements for the instruction
of the College classes in my Department.

    Should this request be granted, I trust
that the increased efficiency with which
I hope to be able to perform my duties in
the future, will justify, in source degree, your
indulgence.

Respectfully requested,

Geo. E. Church, Prof. of Latin.
