did not have capacity to sue, hut said
at the same time that the suit should
have been brought by a law officer of

Just who la the law officer of
the state Is the question which Is at
present, baffling counnel for Friendly
and the state university and when
this Is determined tho cause will he
put up t such proper law officer.
Prior to 1911 the constitution pro
