Though it's not uncom-
mon to see students rally-
ing on the Diag or in front
of the Fleming Adminis-
tration Building, it's rare
to see large-scale protests
during speeches given by
the University's president.
But in 1968, that is pre-
cisely what happened.
During his State of
the University address,
then-President Robben
Fleming was interrupted
by student protestors as
he spoke to 800 invited
faculty members and
their families as well as
150 uninvited students,
according to an Oct. 1,
1968 article in The Michi-
gan Daily.
. The protestors, some of
whom were part of "The
Jesse James Gang", a fac-
tion of Students for a Dem-
ocratic Society, came in
and out of Rackham Hall
in small groups. About five
minutes before the speech
ended, the group entered
the hall together, accord-
ing to the article.
The students inter-
rupted Fleming, calling for
more research and action
on the conflict occurring
in Thailand at the time.
During his speech,
Fleming called for more
student participation
across campus as well as a
stop to the "violence, coer-
cion and threats," accord-
ing to the article.
He also spoke about
funding challenges facing
the University as a result
in an increase in the num-
ber of students on campus.
According to the article,
Fleming said the Universi-
ty was competing for state
funding at the time.
"This year, for the first
time in the history of the
University we were not
able to admit all the Michi-
gan students who meet our
standards of admission,"
Fleming said during the
speech.
He added that he
remained committed to
finding a solution to the
funding problem.
"Presidents like myself
come and go, but the Uni-
versity must remain,"
Fleming said during the
speech.
