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.

This had the effect of depriving the institution of most of its preparatory schools, and in consequence the attendance diminished. Still more effective in checking growth was the secret society struggle, which ultimately led to the entire reorganization of the University, and to constitutional changes whereby the Board of Regents became an elective body, charged by the fundamental law with the general supervision of the University, and the direc tion of all expenditures from the University interest fund In October, 1850, the Department of Medicine and Surgery was formally opened.

Download or read book Classics of Social Choice written by Iain McLean and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the centuries an intriguing collection of thinkers have realized that voting and social choice are not straightforward. Yet despite the work of many distinguished contributors in this area, the subject has only become established in the last few decades. Indeed, many earlier writings were lost and their content forgotten, only to be rediscovered later and then forgotten again. This puzzling saga of intellectual history unfolds in Classics of Social Choice through these original writings. The editors have included recently discovered pieces and other major contributions - newly translated where necessary. The introduction explains who each writer was, locates him in a historical context, and analyzes his argument. It was only in the 1940s and 1950s that the theory of social choice was established by Duncan Black and Kenneth Arrow - whose Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded in part for this work. It is now a large and thriving branch of economics and politics. Classics of Social Choice will interest anyone working in social choice theory as well as students of medieval thought, the Enlightenment, and constitutions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culture and Service, 1904: An Address Delivered at the Sixtieth Annual Commencement of the University of Michigan It was my task on that occasion to demolish Taine's philosophy of art, and to do it in six minutes. I pleaded hard for ten, but the inexorable reply was: "No; boil it down. The world will never miss what you leave out!" What I have to say this morning will relate to the ethics of work, - a subject of immense and universal interest, seeing that work is the great law of life for us all. You who leave the University to-day as graduates, are presumably looking forward to a life of labor. You do not expect to be idlers. The vast majority, no doubt, will find themselves face to face with that same interesting dilemma that has confronted the human species since the days of our arboreal ancestry, - the dilemma, work or starve. And you will work. There may be some who are conscious of a special talent for leisure, and who would welcome a chance to exercise the gift rather frequently. Still, even they do not seriously envy our so-called leisure class who live to amuse themselves; for the victims of perennial leisure, whether they wear the clothes of a gentleman, or of a tramp, form one of the most unfortunate elements of the entire population. I think it safe to assume, moreover, that the great majority of you not only expect to work, as a matter of course, but are fairly cheerful over the prospect. You may not feel exactly the eagerness of the hero rejoicing to run a race, but you are not worrying. You are already accustomed to labor in one form and another; and while you may not always have found it exhilarating, it has been in the main quite tolerable. You have no misgivings as to your ability to make friends with what appears to be the natural order of the world, and all you ask is a fair chance to show what you are good for. And all that is well.
