doctors, eight mills and a plow fac-
tory. The University fathers had
their choice of two possible sites: the'
one making up our present campus
and another beside the Huron River.
As it turned out, many feel they
selected the wrong one and that the
present set-up would look far more
beautiful if it were high in the hills
overlooking the Huron.
At this early date, professors (all
four .of them) could pick peaches in
the orchards on their campus front I
yards. On sunny after-noons, they,
could roam, accompanied by thel
seven students who composed the'
student body in 1841, in and about
the wheat fields that dotted the cam-
pus.
The University had much trouble
in launching its career: professors'
salaries were rather uncertain; mem-
hers of the faculty had conflicting
ideas as to the running of the new
venture; and then there was the
great struggle over the fraternities,
who had a hectic time in convincing
.authorities that they might develop
into an integral part of the Univer-
sity scene.
The actual beginning of a drive to-
.ward expansion and improvement
might be said to have started with
the coming of Henry Philip Tappan
as president in 1850. His 12 years
,re said to have given an impetus to
real scholarship.
The Reverend Erastus O. Haven
.was called to become the head of the
University in 1864. Probably the
outstanding achievement of this re-
gime was the establishment of the
-mill-tax as a support for higher edu-
cation. Henry S. Frieze served as

acting president from 1869 to 1871.1r
The admission of women and the af-
filiation of the University and secon-
dary schools were the significant
measures of this period.
In 1871, there began one of the E
most constructive and prosperous
eras in Michigan history. The namet
associated with the years 1871-19Q8
is James Burrill Angell. Organza--
tion and growth were the keywords
of President Angell's administration.
Prominent as a world-figure (United
States Minister to China and Tur
key) Dr. Angell was a personal friend
to every student. On campus, he'
was referred to as "Prexy." .
Harry Burns Hutchins was presi-
dent for 11 years following Dr. An-
gell's resignation. He carried the
University through the desolate war
years. In 1920, Marion LeRoy Bur-.
ton was inaugurated as president
and immediately demanded 19 mil-
lions from the state legislature for
new buildings. Dr. Burton's untimely
death in 1925 brought President C. C.,
Little, who won many friends, but
whose educational i n n ov a t i o n s
brought about his resignation in
1929.
The administration of Alexander
Grant Ruthven began in the stormy
depression years, yet, through his
guidance, the University has con-
tinued its progress. "Today at last the
University has come in great measure
to realize the dream of the men of
those early years.''

mounted in the interest of national
safety, Professor Slosson declared.
Other differences among the democ-
racies, he said, would also tend to
prove that cohesive force is this com-
mon fear and not ideology.
The annexation of Austria was, not
the result of any concerted fascist
move toward European dominance,
Professor Slosson believes, but one
almost purely advantageous to a na-
tionalistic Germany. Hitler's Aus-
trian move was not of any immediate
economic benefit, he said, but rather
to gain man power for the Nazi army
and access to Czechoslovakia and the
Balkans. This conflict with Musso-
lini's aims in eastern Europe, he
pointed out.
