Dean's Anniversary Statement
The students of the College of Literature, Science, and
the Arts are the heirs of a century of effort and planning in
college education. On September 25, 1841, the University of
Michigan first enrolled students in Ann Arbor. Seven students
entered as freshmen, in contrast to over eleven hundred this
fall. They were given instruction in three fields: Mathematics,
Natural Philosophy, and ,the, Classical Languages. The staff
consisted of but two professors. During tlse past century the
College has had a remarkable development, and most of the
significant changes in college education in America have
- taken place.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 15th, delegates from sev-
eral hundred colleges, universities, and educational organ-
izations will gather at the University to celebrate the cen-
tennary of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
The program includes morning, afternoon, and evening ses-
sions. In the morning an interesting and stimulating review
of the development and achievements of the College will be
given by members of the staff. In the afternoon "Problems
and Future of Liberal Education in America" will be discussed
by distinguished educators. At the convocation in the eve-
ning Dr. James R. Angell, eminent alumnus and former
President of Yale University, will speak on "Persistent Prob-
lems in Higher Education in a Democracy". The morning
and afternoon meetings will be in the Rackham Lecture Hall,
at ten and two-thirty respectively. The convocation will be
held in Hill Auditorium at eight-thirty P.M.
Because of the importance of the celebration in the life
of the College and of the University, tomorrow has been de-
clared a holiday in the College by the Regents. All students
of the College are urged to attend the sessions. As the heirs
of a century of notable growth and achievement in higher
education, the responsibility for further progress in the century
ahead will rest largely upon you and future generations of
students.
