They wouldn't remember Uni- versity Hall, because, although the two wings were built in '42 and '49, the central part of the building was not finished until '72. They would have little difficulty' hoto in recognizing the old cenotaph den, erected in honor of Michigan men ince who lost their lives in the Civil War, ylla, even if it has been moved from its She original place by the old medical at- building on the east side of campus. -. The broken shaft, which appeared in the early picture of Michigan painted in 1865 by J. F. Cropsey, isj now located on the east side of the Act library. \ ota Pour Professors The cenotaph rests on a square gin base which has a carved stone tablet tiall embedded in each of its sides ina r the especial memory of four professors. they A brief history of each of these men Dr. is written in Latin for those who told enjoy translations.
