The University of Michigan (Classic Reprint)

University of Michigan. Several predecessors in this field have done their work so well that another book entirely historical in character might seem superfluous. Rather it is the aim of this volume to furnish a survey sketching broadly the development of the University, and dwelling upon incidents and personalities that contribute movement to the narrative. Those familiar with the history of the University will recognize the sources of much that appears in the following pages. The author must acknowledge an especial debt to Professor Ten Brook s History of State Universities, and the two histories of the University, written by Elizabeth Farrand, Syw, and Professor Burke E. Hinsdale. Much of the material in the early chapters is based directly upon Professor Hinsdale spainstaking and authoritative work. Other works which have been consulted are Judge Cooley s History of Michigan, Professor C. K. A dams Historical Sketch, published by the University in 1876, Professor A. C. Mc Laughlin s History of Higher Education in Michigan (C ontributions to American Educational History, Number n, Bureau of Education, 1891), the reports of the Fiftieth and Seventy-fifth Anniversaries and Dr. A ngel FsQ uarter Centennial Celebration, and Dr. A ngel PsR
