emeeiweeg THE McMICKEN COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS 1' HE McMicken College of Liberal Arts followed the organization of the University, 1871, in 1874. Students had received instruction in 1873, from teachers of Woodward High School. From 1875 to 1895, the Aca- demic Department occupied the building on the grounds of the McMicken homestead, as required by the will of the founder. Steps were taken in 1893, for the erection of McMicken Hall in Burnet Woods, forty-three acres of which had been set aside by the municipality as a site for the University. During 1895 and 1896, Hanna Hall was built for the Departments of Chem- istry and Engineering with funds provided by Henry Hanna. Cunningham Hall was added, through the interest of Briggs S. Cunningham, in 1898 and 1900. The Van Wormer Library followed in 1898 and now boasts of a collection of 66,528 volumes. In answer to an urgent need for the higher education of those whose obligations during the day prohibit their attend- ance at the regular classes, evening academic instruction was instituted in 1912, in connection with the College of Commerce. The future is bright with promises of a much-needed 11W0m- eifs Building? whOSe completion is to mark the incorporation of a Department of Domestic Science with the College of Liberal Arts. hmge Seventeenl
