The constitutional law of the Philippine Islands; Together with certain studies in the field of comparative constitutional law: 2ed, by George A.
Malcolm, lvii+736p, Manila, P.I. & Rochester, NY, Lawyers Co-op., 1926. (A TOC starts on p. xi; an index on p. 679. Among the useful appendices are: The
Malolos Constitution promulgated by the revolutionary government headed up by Emilio Aguinaldo {starts p. 567}; Pres. McKinley’s instructions to the
Philippines Commission headed up by William Howard Taft {p.599}; The Philippine Bill as Amended, 1910 {p. 610}; and The Philippine Autonomy Act, 1918
{p. 654}. George A. Malcolm {1881-1961}, was a graduate of the University of Michigan and of its Law School. While in Ann Arbor, in May, 1904, he was
one of the founding members of the international Acacia Fraternity. Soon after graduation he ended up in the Philippines, where he became a leading
figure in the development of the practice of law in the emerging country. In 1910 he introduced the teaching of law classes in the Manila YMCA. This led
to the establishment of the College of Law of the University of the Philippines in 1911. Due to Malcolm’s youth, the University initially hired him as
acting dean, while trying to recruit an established American law professor to head up the new school. However, by the end of that year he was
permanent dean; an office he held for six years, while also teaching constitutional law and legal ethics. In 1917 Pres. Wilson appointed Malcolm to the
Philippine Supreme Court. He served as one of the most influential justices on that court until 1936, when a new constitution restricted membership to
Filipinos. After leaving the Court, Malcolm successively served as legal adviser to the U.S. High Commissioners Frank Murphy and Paul V. McNutt. His last
public service was from 1939-1942, when he served as the Attorney-General of Puerto Rico. Malcolm is memorialized in the Philippines in the name of
the main building at the Univ. of the Philippines Law School. In addition, the city square on Session Road near the public market in Baguio City, the
summer quarters of the Supreme Court, is named after him, and a bronze bust of Malcolm is located there.)
