UNIVERSITY FLINT COLLEGE-The Mott Building contains the University's branch college at Flint. The building, made possible
by a one million dollar grant from Charles S. Mott, a Flint industrialist, contains classes for the junior and senior years of college.
Through the philanthropic con-
tribution of one million dollars by
Charles S. Mott, a Flint engineer
and industrialist, the University
was able to construct the two-
story, "L" shaped Mott Building
as the home of the senior college.
The Committee. of Sponsors of
the Flint College and Cultural De-
velopment Program, composed of
Flint residents,. contributed an
additional $150,000 for furnish-
ings and equipment for the new
building. Delication was held on
dct. 3, 1957.
Classes Are Small
The Flint College provides in-
structional programs in liberal
arts, business administration and
professional education. Every pro-
gram leads to a Bachelor of Arts
degree, and consequently, distribu-
tion requirements are broader than
on the Ann Arbor campus, accord-
ing to David M. French, dean of
the college.
Classes are small with present
enrollment being around 350 stu-
dents. There are approximately 15
faculty members.
Executive functions of the school
are carried out by the dean and
and executive committee composed
of five members of the University
faculty with at least one of them
being a member of the Flint Col-
lege.
By the end of the 1958-59 aca-
demic year, the Executive com-
mittee will present a report on the
college to the president along with
recommendations concerning the,
future structure, organization, ad-
ministrative arrangements and
educational policies of the college.
Regent Roscoe 0. Bonisteel, who
proposed the original plan for the
college, has called it "another
milestone ip the history of the
University and education In Michi-
gan."

from the central campus to sup-
port outlying areas."
