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.

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.
