ANGELL HALL-Constructed in 1924, the million dollar building was intended to be first of a pro-
posed Literary College quadrangle, whose completion awaits post-war developments. The inset con-
trasts an early college building with Angell Hall, which houses offices and classrooms of the Literary
College.

"Classes were held wherever rooms
could be found . . . Some classes were
not held at all because of lack of{
room, while other courses were held
in several buildings."
Those were the conditions that
confronted the Literary College Class
of '27 in their freshman year at the
rapidly expanding University of Mi-
chigan. The problem of over'crowd-
ing, which became evident in 1920
when enrollment jumped to 10,000
from the 6,000 students of pre-World
War One days, already had been call-
ed to the attention of the Board of
Regents.
Burton Presents Plan
In 1923 president Marion LeRoy
Burton presented a plan to the Re-
gents for the construction of a build-
ing . to house the Literary College
classes and administration depart-
ments. The plan was similar in
scope to the ambitious post-war pro-

gram designed for the University
last year.
Construction on the building, sub-
sequently named for James Burrill
Angell, president from 1871 to 1909,
was completed in 1924 at a cost of
more than one ,million dollars. In
the 480-foot building are housed
the offices and classrooms of the
various Literary' College depart-
ments and the office of the Dean
of the Literary College, the Presi-
dent and Provost of the University.
However, the ultimate completion
of President Burton's plan awaits
post-war development. The blue-
prints of Albert Kahn, Detroit archi-
tect, provided for the attachment of
two wings, which would eventually
create a quadrangle of Literary Col-
lege buildings. Last year's plan pro-
posed a $1,500,000 building to com-
plete the quadrangle. The new build-
ing would replace University Hall,
Mason Hall and South Wing.
Regents Choose Location
When the Regents were consider-I
ing the location of Angell Hall in
1924, they too were confronted with
the problem of the obsolete build-
ings behind it. The Regents had
intended to preserve Mason Hall,
oldest of the buildings, as a relic of
the old days, but further discussion
brought a change of mind. It was
however felt that preservation of
part of University Hall would push
the building too close to State Street.
It was decided to build Angell Hall
adjacent to those buildings in the
hope of ultimately razing them.
The design of Albert Kahn fol-
lowed severely classical precedents.
The entrance to the portico con-
sists of eight Ionic columns, atop
a wide esplanade of steps. Angell
Hall houses the Rhetoric study
room, the Mathematics and Econ-
omics Library and some of the
University archeological collec-
tions. Designs on the panels of
the entrance were the work of;

Ulysses Ricci of New York. The
planting and approaches were
prepared by the landscape archi-
tects. Pitkin and Mott of Cleve-
land.
The classic design of Angell Hall
was selected as more in harmony
with existing buildings-Alumni
Memorial Hall, the President's resi-
dence, Clements Library (then in
process of construction) and Hill
Auditorium.
Other Buildings Are Constructed
Before President Burton died in
1925 the East Physics Building and
Yost Field House were occupied, work
