Trustees The Rev. G.L. Reno, S. J. Supt. of Buildings and Grounds Administration In seventy vears the University of Detroit has shown an amazing aptitude for growth. In this, it is keeping step with its environment. As dynamic Detroit advanced from a pleasant town by a river to the manufacturing center of the world, its need for a university, which would embody both cultural and industrial aspects in its curric- ulum and train executives of the future in the arts and industry, was met by the Jesuit Fathers in their university. The first unit of the now complex educational plant was the establishment of a Liberal Arts college in 1877 and its Incorporation as Detroit College in 1881. To meet the industrial needs of the future, far-seeing Jesuit educators founded the College of Engineering in 1911. The two colleges were then incorporated into the Univer- sity of Detroit. One year later the School of Law was inaugurated. In 1916 the Evening Division of the College of Commerce and Finance was established, in 1922 the Day Division. Organization of the Graduate Division, Trustees The Rev. N.J.Preusser,S. J. Treasurer, Comptroller The Rev. J. F. Quinn, S. J. Dean -—— Arts and Science which first awarded degrees in 1885, was completed in 1927. The School of Dentistry, completely modern, was established in 1932. Night divisions were added to the Arts and Engineering colleges in 1938 The result of all this expansion was a need for a new campus. In 1922, the Very Rev. John P. McNichols, S.J., then president, realizing the need, negotiated the arrange- ments for the Uptown Campus which was fittingly named in his honor. As president of the University the Very Rev. William J. Millor, S.J., officially heads the three major councils responsible for its administration. The Board of Trustees, a corporate body, legally possesses all property and directs business relations as well as academic policy. 3esides Fr. Millor the Board includes: the Rev. George J.
