A summer school was insti- tuted in 1894, and brought un- der the Regents' control in 1900 - the beginning of the highly successful Summer Ses- sion we know today. The modern School of Business Administration was presaged in 1900 by a course in higher com- mercial education, and the School of Forestry and Conservation ex- isted in embryo form in 1903. To- day's Graduate School was pre- ceded by an advanced study pro- gram in the literary department in 1892. * * * LIKE HIS predecessors, how- ever, President Angell was not without problems. When the Board of Regents bluntly refused to comply with the Legislature's request for a course in homeopa- thic technique in the medical de- partment, controversy continued to rage until 1875. Then, at last, it was suggested that the State appropriate .funds for a separate department; the State agreed, Dr. Angell pronounced the solution equitable, and the long battle was over. In a number of other ways, too, hie brought new prestige and organization to the Uni- versity. He ably served the country in a number of important diplomatic appointments-becoming so popu- lar while on a mission to China that large numbers of Chinese students followed him home to Michigan. ALTHOUGH an unfailing friend of the student, Dr. Angell was not incapable of administering a highly effective type of discipline when the need arose. The stu- dents' prime weakness at the turn of the century was their penchant for violent hazing activity. In this, as in similar problems, Dr. An- Oversleeping Because of a Faulty Alarm?

And when Dr. Angell spoke, there were not many who failed to listen and act. * * * Presient Hutchins .. . The modern history of the Uni- versity of Michigan began on June 28, 1910, with the inaugura- ltion of Henry Burns Hutchins. He inherited from President Angell an institution of such sub- stantial foundation that not even a World War could do lasting damage. Nevertheless, the prom- ise and progress that marked the first years of President Hutchins' tnure was destined to be cut short by events across the Atlantic. DR. HUTCHINS was the obvious choice as Angell's successor. A Michigan graduate-and the first of her sons, incidentally to be- come president-he entered pri- vate law practice. He was later recalled to succeed Michigan's most distinguished jurist, Judge Thomas M. Mooley, as dean of the law department. He had also served as acting president on the several occa- sions when Angell was off on diplomatic missions. Mlile Dr. Angell had skillfully directed the course of natural pro- gress, Dr. Hutchins wasted no time in making a few practical reforms. THE UNIVERSITY - and the literary department particularly-- had become bogged down in a con- fusing lack of division between the financial, administrative, and educational functions. With his characteristic "firmness without obstinacy," Hutchins did much to promote the needed reorganiza- tion-beginning a task that was completed later by Presidents Burton and Ruthven. It is to Dr. Hutchins credit that his previous University con- nections did not in any way prejudice his judgement as President, nor dull his admis- sion of essential change and progress. The University's far - flung alumni organization of today is the result of his farsighted policy. Angell's personality and power of persuasion had made inroads in the field, and from his adminis- tration President Hutchins in- herited a publication, "The Mich- igan Alumnus," and the young Alumni Association. Through that organization, and with his own extensive travel throughout the midwest, Hutchins succeeded in obtaining tangible evidence of alumni goodwill toward the Uni- versity. Included among the build- ings erected during the Hutchins years which must be credited to major private donations are the Observatory, Hill Auditorium, three women's residences, and Clements Library. The million- dollar Michigan Union-the result of myriad private donations-was also completed during this period. THE GENERAL prosperity of the University was also the result of Hutchins' compelling messages to a realisti2 State Legislature. He succeeded in proving the insuffi- ciency of the old property tax rev- enue, and in obtaining generous additional appropriations. The present Health Service plan was instituted under the Hutchins administration. Probably the most important development was the constitution of the present - day Graduate School as a distinct, self -adminis- tering branch of the broadening University.

Dr. Hutchins also was instru- mental in the establishment of extension courses in key lca- ties throughout the State, and in ending a tension of long standing between the Univer- sity and the State's smaller col- leges. At last the University agreed to accept credits earned at these schools as admissible to a degree at Ann Arbor. These significant things Presi- dent Hutchins was able to accom- plish. What greater advances Michigan might have enjoyed un- der his leadership can only be imagined. Halfway through the Hutchins years, the pressure of a World War swept across the Mich- igan campus with terrible sudden- ness. ALTHOUGH enrollment im- mediately declined at an alarming rate and costs took an upward swing, President Hutchins mir- aculously succeeded in preserving Michigan's high academic stan- dards. But the University was to sustain widespread damage of an- other sort. For months there was ungod- ly noise, confusion, and destruc- tion on the campus. In addition to the inexcusable lack of order in the activities of the Army, there was the construction of the Union on one hand, and the razing of the beloved old library building on the other. The tra- dition bound campus was criss- crossed with slit trenches and telephone pole obstacle areas. The Student Army Training Corps grew to include thousands, and barracks were improvised everywhere-in the unfinished Union, in Waterman gym, and even out of doors. The Army, under the command of one Captain Durkee, ruthlessly and unnecessarily tore the cam- pus apart. Drillmasters ordered their units to completely ignore the plans and instructions of the administration and faculty, under penalty of court martial. The cam- pus Naval units, meanwhile, mov- ed quietly and efficiently to com- plete their programs. HENRY HUTCHINS sadly watched Captain Durkee's havoc replace dignity and order on the Michigan campus. But the worst trial was yet to come. The University, with the rest of the nation, was ravaged by an exceedingly virulent epidem- ic of "Spanish Flu"-a disease that could bring death to its victims in a matter o fhours. President Hutchins, aging vis- ibly under the stress of one of the greatest crises in the entire Michigan story, was pathetically overwhelmed. The full medical force of the University was call- ed into day and night action, and the entire community was ordered to wear gauze face masks. Thanks to the untiring efforts of Michigan's doctors and student nurses, the seige-serious as it was-was prevented from becom- ing a disaster of even greater pro- portions. The final death toll in Ann Ar- bor-57 students, two nurses, and 58 townspeople. * * * AT LAST THE epidemic-and then the war-ended as suddenly as it began. President Hutchins went into a well-earned retirement on March 12, 1919. President Burton.,,. At the beginning of the Twen- ties, the University of Michigan faced a problem that could be postponed no longer - a severe lack of physical facilities. And in 1920 - as in the past - Michigan was blessed with a presi- dent perfectly qualified to cope with the particular problems his years held. Marion LeRoy Bur- ton, past president of Smith Col- lege and the University of Min- nesota, was precisely the orderly, realistic and forceful administra- tor that was needed. PRESIDENT BURTON'S ad- ministration began with several striking improvements in the Uni- versity's administrative organiza- tion.
