Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Michigan Book By an act of Congress passed in 1804 one township of land in the prospective Territory of Michigan was set apart for the support of a seminary of learning. Twenty-two years later Congress enlarged the grant to two townships. In the year 1817 the Governor and Judges of the Territory enacted a marvellous bill drawn by Augustus P. Woodward, Presiding Judge, whereby was established the "Catholepistemiad or University of Michigania." This statute decreed that the University should be composed of thirteen professorships, each called a didaxia, the didactors or professors to be appointed by the Governor. Two "didactors" at salaries of $12.50 each were appointed, and a primary school and a classical academy were established in Detroit; but in 1821 the act of 1817 was repealed, and a new act was passed for the establishment at Detroit of the University of Michigan, to be managed by twenty-one trustees. This board was legislated out of office by the Michigan statute of March 18, 1837, entitled "An act to provide for the organization and government of the University of Michigan," and passed only two months after the admission of the State into the Union by Congress. To the Rev. John D. Pierce, a graduate of Brown University and of Princeton Theological Seminary, who in the summer of 1836 had been appointed Superintendent of Public Instruction, is due the framing of this law under which the final organization of our Alma Mater was effected. As closely as possible the German idea of an university was followed, instead of imitating Yale and Harvard, themselves copies of English institutions. Michigan's University was to crown the educational system of the commonwealth, and to "provide the inhabitants of the State with the means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of literature, science, and the arts." The business affairs of the University were to be managed by a Board of Regents appointed by the Governor of the State and approved by the Senate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Michigan in the War It was not contemplated that in this work any history of the State prior to the commencement of the war would be included, and really none subsequent. To that period, farther than that connected with the services of the regiments in the field. But, on considering the matter, the subject of raising the regi ments and the work accomplished in the State in connection therewith seemed to be a necessity in order to make the entire action of Michigan in the war as complete as possible, hence that has been included, although in a very brief manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My New Home in Northern Michigan: And Other Tales HE average reader of those kind of books that are mainly founded on the personality of the writer, are apt to be curiously inclined to know something of the private history of the one who thus ventures publicly before them as a claimant to their favorable consideration. There is generally a feeling of sympathy with such reader toward such author, which strengthens with the progress of perusal, until it ripens into the desire of a more minute knowledge of the outer and inner life of him who has so interested them. Knowing that this little book, the child of my later years, will be kindly received and welcomed by a large number of men, and a far greater number of women - the latter always permitting the flood of sympathy, in which eddies the worth less driftwood of sentiment, to overflow the shallower depths of the brain - I proceed at once to unlock myself to all such as may be under the suggestions of curiosity, or the promptings of interest, for a glance or a stare at the elephant, as he swings his inky trunk through the coming pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University of Michigan One early June day some fourscore years ago, it was 1837 to be precise, a party of distinguished visitors arrived in what was then the little backwoods community of Ann Arbor. The interest of the loiterers at the country tavern and the corner grocery was no doubt aroused by their com ing, for Ann Arbor we may suppose was not different from other small places; and this curiosity could hardly have been lessened by the fact that the newcomers were all men who figured prominently in the affairs of the State, which had been admitted to the Union only four months before. Whatever the speculation aroused by the personnel of the party, however, the business that called them to Ann Arbor caused little comment, if we are to judge from contemporary reports. Yet this unpretentious gathering of notables was charged with the inauguration of what was to become one of the most significant developments in the history of American education, - the establishment and successful maintenance of a University by the people of a State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the University of Michigan This book has been written for those who have been, or are, or shall be connected with the University of Michigan. The attempt has been made to collect from many documents into one volume the story of the University, to put into a convenient and accessible shape what has been already written, and to gather also something from its traditional history, placing upon record what has hitherto remained only in memories which are now fast fading. It is greatly to be regretted that the men who were students of the University in its early days have given us no reminiscences of their college life, of its duties, its customs, its hardships, and its pleasures so different from those of modern college life. The author of this book is much indebted to some of the early graduates, and especially to Dr. George Pray, of the class of 1845, for assistance rendered; from them alone has it been possible to gather any knowledge of the customs of their time. By them alone, however, can the subject be adequately treated. The suggestion is offered that the classes which left the institution before the days of college papers and of class histories, should each have its historian, and that a determined effort should be made to collect reminiscences of college life in Ann Arbor. The University is not too young to number among her children, white-haired men. Many of the instructors and many of the students, who taught and studied here in the days when the number of instructors and students was very small, are silenced by death. Yet in 1884 no class fails to respond to the roll-call. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When Michigan Was New The first inhabitants of the Borderland region of whom we have any certain knowledge, were the American Indians. Where they came from is a mystery. They were here when the new world was discovered. The beautiful waters of the lakes and the rivers were their highways, over which they glided in their frail canoes. The great forests were their hunting grounds, where they followed the zig-zag trails, in search of shy bird and beast to satisfy their hunger. From the carefully preserved records of the earliest pioneer missionaries and explorers, we learn many very interesting facts concerning them. These visitors found them living in their wigwams and lodges of skin and bark. Their homes were rude in design and construction, yet they satisfied the simple necessities of a primitive people. The wigwams were small, while the lodges were large and roomy, well lined and carpeted with fur rugs and rush mats.

Download or read book History of Michigan Classic Reprint written by Lawton T. Hemans and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Michigan The twofold phase of our government, state and federal, is familiar to us all. The desirability of a knowledge of the principles and institutions of state concern, as distinguished from those of a national character, is now quite generally admitted. Indeed, it is thought that a familiarity with the institutions common to our townships, counties, and the state, should precede the study of the more distant and complex institutions of the general government. It is like wise generally believed that in the study of history the analogy holds true, and that the youth, before he is required to learn and comprehend the great national and world wide movements of history, should be told the story of his own state. One of the essential equipments for good citizenship is a knowledge of that noble band of men and women who, as pioneers, felled the forests, made the homesteads, organ ized the townships and the counties, and laid the foundations of the commonwealth. With a thorough knowledge of the history of the state and the principles of its government, the youth is at least equipped to discharge intelligently those civic duties with which he is most intimately connected, while a desire for a knowledge of history and government in their higher and broader relations is also fostered. It is to fulfill this mission in Michigan that this little book has been prepared. It is dedicated to the boys and girls of Michigan, as it was inspired by the belief that their lives would reflect a higher standard of civic virtue if lived with an intimate acquaintance with those patriots and statesmen whose efforts have made for the state an honorable fame.
