TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1941. THE MICHIGAN STORY:I LS&A, Activities, Form Core of 'U' (EDITOR'S NOTE: Ths is the thir- teenth and last of a series of articles presenting the highlights in the his- rby o the einiversity of Michigan. Contributors to today's installment are Phil Dawson and Jim Parker. By ROBERT WHITE It seems appropriate to conclude this consideration of the indivi- dual schools and colleges with an account of the College of Litera- ture, Science and the Arts-the heart of the University. The final section of the Mich- igan Story will briefly relate the growth of extra-curricular activi- ties from insignificant beginnings to their present complexity and importance. L. S. & A.... The 1837 State Legislature didn't know quite how to go about setting up a University. It left mnany vague and general provi- dions to be interpreted by the Re- 7ents and the faculty. In specifying three depart- ments-law, medicine, and lit- erary-it apparently intended the latter as a catch-all for studies that wouldn't fit in the other categories. But in 1841, with the appoint- ment of two ministers to teach mathematics and languages, the Department of Literature, Science and the Arts acquired the empha- sis on liberal education that has distinguished it ever since. DURING THE NEXT decade, the literary department's enroll- ment increased from six freshmen and one sophomore to almost 100 students, and four new professor- ships were added: Zoology; Chem- istry; Moral and Intellectual Phi- losophy; and Logic, Rhetoric and History. In spite of the additions to the department's offerings in science, its emphasis was on the classics until, almost ten years later, President Tappan intro- duced a scientific course in physics, astronomy, chemistry and civil engineering which led to the Bachelor of Science de- gree. It was soon afterthis that one of the principles of academic free- dom was given its first expression here, in President Tappan's words: "There is no safe guide in the appointment of professors save in the qualifications of the candi- date." THE YEAR 1871 was an im- portant one for the literary de- partment; not only the presence of 14 women, but also several ad- ministrative changes, broke long- established"precedent. Among these were the intro- duction of the seminar and of the accreditation plan allowing students to be admitted without examination from approved high schools. Eight years later the require- nents' for graduation were changed so that they emphasized the number of courses completed rather than the time spent in col- lege. This shift led eventually to the present hour-credit system. ** * THE CLOSING YEARS OF the 19th century were a time of in- tellectual ferment in the literary department. Great men-astron- omer James Craig Watson, philos- opher John Dewey, sociologist Charles Horton Cooley-were here, expanding the frontiers of knowl- edge and of thought. Michigan had become the fin- est university of the nation, and the literary department con- tinued to lead the way until the end of President Angell's admin- istration. One of the results of this de- velopment was a reexamination of educational policy, which was also stimulated by what was being done at other colleges. IN 1912, under Dean John o. Reed, requirements for admission and for graduation were revised. Admission requirements were lib- eralized to permit free electives in the high schools. The group requirements were set up to prevent overspecializa- tion. Better grades were adopted be- cause the faculty felt a more dis- criminating system would improve standards of schlarship. And in 1915, the department became a college. * * s DURING THE '20's, new de- partments blossomed forth in the literary college. Economics and so- ciology, philosophy and psychol- ogy, and journalism and English were separated. Only since World War II has this process been checked, as the need to integrate knowledge became apparent. Most of the professional schools began as departments or profes- sorships within the literary col- lege. For example, the Graduate School began as a department in 1892 and assumed separate status in 1912. In a real sense, the literary col- lege is the center of. the Univer- sity; from it have developed the specialized schools, and it still pro- vides the basic elements of an education. Athletics .. . A 20-8 baseball victory over Wisconsin on May 20, 1882, marked Michigan's first appear- ance in intercollegiate athletics. Football, in which Michigan was to become famous as "Champions of the West," was introduced in 1876 by Charles M. Gayley, who later wrote the "Yellow and Blue." The first intercollegiate game was played in 1879 when Michigan defeated Racine, 1 to 0. * * * INTERCOLLEGIATE recogni- tion followed for track in 1893, tennis in 1894, basketball in 1909, hockey, swimming, golf, and wres- tling all in 1921, and gymnastics in 1929. Michigan was one of the seven original members of the West- ern Conference, founded in 1896, but withdrew from membership in 1908, not to regain Confer- ence standing until 1917.- In 1901 Fielding Yost came to Michigan as football coach and remained in that capacity until 1926. The famous point-a-minute teams of 1901 through 1905, un- defeated in 54 consecutive games, Michigan's first All-American, Willie Heston, a 49-0 victory over Stanford in the first Rose Bowl game, and the "Little Brown Jug" rivalry with Minnesota were all products of his early years at Michigan. FROM 1921 until Fritz Crisler took over in 1941, Yost was Ath- letic Director of the University, a post created in 1898. Yost Field House was com- pleted in 1923 to relieve the crowded condition of Waterman Gymnasium, which had been in use since 1894. In 1926 the Michigan Ice Coli- seum was purchased and in 1927 the new stadium was built to ac- commodate the growing football crowds. The Intramural Sport Building was erected in 1929 and the University golf course was fin- ished in 1937. Activities ".. SOCIAL- In the early years of the Uni- versity, the social life of the stu- dents was completely unorganized. Up to the Civil War, there were under 200 students in the whole institution. By the end of a year it was possible to know everyone in the University. Beginning in 1859, all students lived in rooming houses. The land- ladies of the town formed a pres- sure-group which made it almost impossible to house students in residence halls, until women were admitted in 1870 * * * FRATERNITIES took their place, beginning in 1845. After a five-year struggle with the fac- ulty, they won a secure place in undergraduate activities. Although they grew steadily more powerful until the depres- sion, the fraternities and sororities were not the only social organiza- tions on the campus. The Union. first housed in the former home of Judge Thomas M. Cooley, and the League, built in 1929, provided dances and social affairs for all students. PUBLICATIONS It was only after a number of abortive attempts that a success- ful student publication developed at the University. It was the Chronicle, an eight-page, bi- monthly newspaper, which flour- ished from 1869 to 1890. The Chronicle was discon- tinued when The Daily and a monthly literary magazine, thef Inlander, were established. The latter shortly ceased publication, but The Daily was a successful enterprise from the first. Six years later, "Michiganen - sian" was decided upon as the name of a new yearbook, to be started the next year. There was also a humorous magazine, the Wrinkle, which was published from 1893 to 1905, when the Gargoyle first appeared. * * * POLITICAL In the earliest days of the Uni- versity, the only student activity was debate, which was conducted in class competitions and later in societies. Student government began in 1905, with the establishment of the Student Council, first of a series of representative, but, generally powerless, student organizations. It was not until the '30's that clubs were organized on a political basis, and the present Student Legislature was inaugurated in 1946.1 Experts Slate Post-Vacation Speeches Here Economist, Aviation AuthorityTo Speak Economics and B-45 bombers will take the spotlight immediate- ly after vacation, with guest speakers Prof. Simon S.

Manuscripts Donated To 'U' Library An important collection of manuscripts and letters relating to the period in American history up to and including the Civil War has been donat ed to the Clements Library by Clinton H.

"SOCIALISM is that social system under which the necessaries of pro- duction (factories, tools, land, etc.) are owned, controlled, and adminis, tered by th people, for the people, und under which, accordingly, the cause of political and economic dcspoti tro having been abolished, classes and class rule are at an end. Nothing short of that is socialism."-Daniel De Leon. Cooperatives and "govcrnrment ownership" fall for short of the require- ments for Socialism.
