1911 M I CHI CAN ENS I AN Department of Literature, Science and Arts JOHN OREN REED, Ph.D., Dean Born, Xew Castle, Intl., Dec . 31, 1856. Prepared at Spiceland Academy. Entered U. o{ M. 1879. Received degree of Bachelor of Phil., 1885. Principal of New Castle, Ind., and East Saginaw High Schools. In 1891 took up graduate study at Harvard. Appointed Instructor in Physics at the University of Michigan. .Wistant Professor in 1894, and Junior Professor in 1899. Full Professor in 1895. Dean of Summer School. 1904 to 1907. Doctor of Philosophy at University of Jena in 1897. Fellow of American Association for Advancement of Science and member of American Physical Society. The department had its origin in the original act passed by the Legislature which created the Univer- sity, commonly known as the Organic Act, passed in 1837. Owing to many complications the university was not opened until September, 1841, with two pro- fessors, a librarian and six students. The department was conducted along the conventional and traditional lines until 1852, which date marks the advent of Dr. Tappan and the passing of a new act by the Legislature granting the University much greater power. Until the year 1855-56, no electives were allowed and the degree given was A.B., but with the beginning of this year the seniors were allowed to elect one-third of their work. At this time the department gave three courses. Classical, Scientific and Latin-Scientific, which led to the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. In 1877 the department was entirely revised, and an English course was added, giving the degree of Bachelor of Letters. The elective system had progressed so far by this time that fully one-half of the studies required for the doctor ' s degree were elective. In 1882-83, the univer- sity system was introduced, with the idea of pro- ducing specialization, and more truly university work, during the junior and senior years. A pro- fessorship of Science and the Art of Teaching was established in 1883, which has developed into our present teacher ' s course and Department of Education. There is also a graduate school established in connection with this department which is under the direction of the Administrative Council appointed by the faculty. [19]

This department was provided for in the Organic Act in March, 1859. The Law School was opened on October 8, and included three professorships, whic h were later styled Marshall, Kent and Jay chairs. James V. Campbell, Charles Walker and Thomas M. Cooley were elected to fill these chairs, with Professor Campbell acting as dean. The first class was graduated in 1860. The original home of the school was the old chapel, and not till October, 1863, did it have a home of its own. The building was reconstructed and greatly enlarged in 1893. Again in 1898 it was practically demolished and rebuilt as it now stands. A fourth professorship was established in 1886, and named for the Honorable Richard Fletcher, of Boston. This chair was first filled by Ashley Palmer. The fifth chair was the Tappan professorship established in 1879, first filled by Alpheus Felch. In 1871 Professor Cooley became dean of the department. The original course con- sisted of two terms, each six months long, lasting from October through March. The instruction was entirely by lectures, and at the completion of the course the degree of LL.D. was g iven. In 1877 an entrance examination in English was required. In 1884 the terms were lengthened to nine months each, and in 1895 a third year was required for the com- pletion of the course. The Practice Court as it now stands was established in the year 1892-1893. [20]
