The claimant appeared in person in court, a clean cut, intelligent young man, and offered for consideration of the court his maimed hand, which will not alone retard his possible success in life, but will also disfigure him.\nHe suffered a great deal of p\u00e1in and other physical inconvenience, and it appears to the court that allowance should be made.\nIt is therefore considered by the court that the claimant was injured while giving due care for his own safety, was under the direction of the college authorities, was paying for his education, in fact the State was engaged in business and received the money of the claimant for the training he sought.\nAs it is often held by this court, there is no legal liability, however in accordance with the rule of equity and social justice, it is recommended by this court that claimant be allowed $3,000.00.",
