At this time 266 students were enrolled in the College under the super- vision of twenty-two instructors. 1890 marked a decided advance in the old Detroit College. “The three res- idences on the north side of Jefferson avenue were removed and a large building was erected. [he new build- ing contained the administrative of- fices, the library, the chapel, the liv- ing quarters for the faculty, a lecture hall, class rooms, and laboratories. This building later served as the high school and remained as such until the recent construction of the new high school on Seven-Mile Road. In 1892 the faculty made special ef- forts to improve the chemistry courses. Realizing the need for prac- tical instruction in chemistry at that time a department was organized and a new laboratory with up-to-date conveniences and equipment was added. A complete program of prac- tical chemistry was offered including courses in organic, inorganic, quali- tative, and quantitative analysis.

Extension work became more popular as the years progressed.” In order to meet the demand, afternoon courses for adults were offered at Detroit College in the nature of special Latin classes, which were started in October 1896. On January 10, 1911, the corporate title of Detroit College was changed to that of University of Detroit. The Arts College became known as the College of Arts and Sciences. At this time it began a program of eve- ning courses designed to aid profes- sional men. The subjects offered were: public speaking, mechanical drawing, chemistry, physics, and political econ- omy. This same year, in 1912, Wil- liam J. Kane received the first Bach- elor of Science degree. [he adoption of this type of course resulted from a demand on the part of growing in- dustrial Detroit for men especially trained in mathematics and physical sciences. Left to Right—Rev. Lawrence J. Kenny, S.J., Rev. Ormond P. D’Haene, S.J., Clarence M. Altenburger, Leo E. Buss. Still another course of instruction was ‘offered by the College of Arts and Sciences. It was a special teachers’ training course, enabling the student to receive a teacher's certificate which entitled him to instruct in Michigan schools. Nine men qualified for the first certificates presented in 1914. The College continued to advance in numbers and to broaden its curricula. In 1917 a regular prescribed pre-med- ical course was offered, and a year later Spanish courses were introduced. Arts and Sctences Freshmen: First Row (Left to Right )—George A. Courville, Joseph M.
