THE CONCLUSIVENESS OF JUDGMENTS AGAINST CORPORATIONS IN SUITS AGAINST THE STOCKHOLDERS. By Thomas G. Frost, LL.B., Ph.D. COLUMBIA LAW TIMES. DECEMBER, 1892. VOL. VI. No. 3 JOHN ORDRONAUX. PROF. JOHN ORDRONAUX was born in the City of New York August 3rd, 1830. Graduated at Dartmouth College in 1850, and from the Law School Harvard University in 1852; was admitted to the Bar in New York on February 11th, 1853, and to the Bar of Massachusetts at Plymouth on April 14th, 1853, and began practice at Taunton, Mass. In 1855 he removed to New York City and began to practice there. In order to fit himself for the special department of Medical Jurisprudence, he studied Medicine and received the degree of M. D. in 1859 from the National Medical College of Washington, which is the Medical Department of the Colum. bian University. Soon after the breaking out of our Civil War, Gov. Morgan appointed him Surgeon to examine drafted men from the City of Brooklyn for admission to the Army, and in April, 1863, he was commissioned by President Lincoln Surgeon to the Board of Enrollment of the First Congressional District of New York. It was during this time that he published the first American work on Military Hygiene, entitled "Hints on Health in Armies," and at the request of the U. S. Sanitary Commission prepared an extensive report on the employment of disabled soldiers and the revision of our Pension Laws, containing a review of the comparative merits of the pension systems of Europe, including their National Military Homes, Invalid Battalions, Military Colonies, Sedentary Corps, Industrial Exchanges, together with an entire recasting of the scale of physical disabilities and the equitable apportionment of pensions according to the extent and permanency of such injuries. This report was made the basis of the legislation relating thereto by the Military Committee of the Serate and House of Representatives, and at their suggestion and the further request of the Sanitary Commission, Prof. Ordronaux prepared his "Manual for Military Surgeons on the Examination of Recruits and Discharge of Soldiers," which appeared in 1863. In 1864, under the last call for troops, he accepted the position of Assistant Surgeon to the 15th Regiment which was to have joined the army before Petersburg, but owing to disagreement between Gov. Seymour and the Secretary of War as to the duration of service of this regiment, it was disbanded after a thirty days' service, at Fort Richmond. |
