REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY BY ELECTION.
The constitution of 1850 provided for the election of a regent in each judicial circuit, to hold office for the period of six years. Act No. 25, laws of 1851.
By an amendment of the constitution, adopted in 1862, it was provided that eight regents should be elected in 1863, to enter upon their office in 1864, two for two years, two for four years, two for six years, and two for eight years, and at every regular election of a justice of the supreme court thereafter, there should be elected two regents for eight years. In accordance with this provision the following were elected and the term of their office was determined by lot, according to law. Act No. 143, laws of 1863.
The constitution of 1909 designated the president of the university and the superin- tendent of public instruction members ex officio, with the privilege of speaking but not of voting.
