Bculel Resigns
Law College Post
The Board of Regents Tuesday
announced acceptance of Fred
erick K. Beutel's resignation as
dean of the College of Law and
apporval of his request to re
main on the college faculty as
professor of law.
The Regents said Professor
Beutel's successor as dean of the
college will be appointed soon.
The board expressed apprecia
tion to Dean Beutel for his work
in reorganizing the college after
it was closed during the war
years.
In a letter to the board and
Chancellor Gustavson, Dean
Beutel said:
"THE PROGRAM of the Col
lege of Law has now reached the
stage where the college is again
at its full strength and the de
mands upon my time and energy
are such that I woud prefer to
return to my scholarly pursuits.
Therefore, I would deem it a
favor if you would relieve me of
the position of dean of the Col
lege of Law and allow me to re
turn to teaching as Professor of
Law."
-THAT IS MOST under
standable," Chancellor Gustav
son said. "Dean Beutel has ren
dered a great service to the law
college. He started from scratch
and faced difficult problems in
getting the college operating
after it had been closed during
1934 and 1944.
"He went about the job with
enthusiasm and intelligence. De
spite the many handicaps, he
was able to secure a first class
faculty for our College of Law.
I hope he will now be ablt to re
sume his research."
Professor Beutel was appointed
dean and professor of law at the
University of Nebraska in 1945.
