Grim and determined looking, men of the University ROTC start up the long hill at the New York Central station, headed for the University campus. The men returned unannounced yesterday afternoon after a nine-day stay at Fort Custer for indoctrination and induction into the United States Army. This is the first time in the history of the University that students have been ordered from the campus as civilians, and have been returned, under military discipline, to the campus a few days later, equipped with full battle-dress, including steel helmets. While completing their studies on campus, the soldiers will live in barracks, under strict military orders. (Story on page 5.)

Description

"Born in 1891, Orlan W. Boston graduated from the University of Michigan Engineering College in 1913, received a Masters degree in 1917, and the degree of Mechanical Engineer in 1926. In 1917 he was commissioned in the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ordnance and later was employed by the Cleveland Tractor Company. In 1921 he joined the University of Michigan faculty as Professor, College of Engineering. Part of his archive collection, now at the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History, consists of technical papers, tables, charts, photographs and other information on tests of the physical and chemical properties of metals as determined by various cutting and other processes. An additional 21 linear feet of his files are at the Bentley Historical Library in Ann Arbor. Prof. Boston was president of the Washtenaw County Historical Society in the 1960s. He lived to the age of 101, and died in Florida, where his second wife had him buried. His first wife is buried in Ann Arbor's Forest Hill Cemetery -- under a memorial stone that also bears his name." - Wystan Stevens

"The old (1908) School of Dentistry was located on North University, on the site where the present Dental School was built 40+ years ago. I think these two photos were taken behind it; you can see the original building at left, and it is connected to the Kellogg Dental Research building -- the newer structure at right, which fronts on Fletcher Street. My guess is that these photos were taken in the late 1930s, after houses had been demolished on Fletcher Street, and the ground cleared to allow construction of the new University Health Service building, a federally-funded project of the Depression-era PWA (Public Works Administration). The Health Service building opened in 1940, so this may date from about 1938." - Wystan Stevens

For Such As These Is The President's Ball - These three gallant little soldiers at University hospital are among those making the tedious fight against infantile paralysis. Ordinary joys of childhood are not for them and they will have to battle hard to win back for themselves an active place in the world -- as the President did when stricken in manhood with the same disease. It is for such as these that the President's birthday ball is held. The expense of their treatment at the hospital -- including the use of a new warm pool -- is borne from other sources, funds from the President's ball will go to give them little comforts, little pleasures to sustain them, to cheer them, to encourage them in the long, long struggle to bring their stricken muscles back to life and action. Seventy per cent of the proceeds from the President's Ball next Thursday night at the Intramural building remain here for local use; 30 per cent go to the Warm Springs Foundation to be used in research seeking ways to prevent and to cure infantile paralysis. It is a cause so worthy that the simple statement of fact to a warm-hearted community would seem enough to sell the quota of tickets at $1 per couple far beyond the capacity of the great ball room.

Helping To Set Her Free - This brave little youngster at University hospital is winning in her fight against the effects of infantile paralysis. She is gradually freeing her imprisoned muscles and limbs from the shackles of the enemy. And her courageous spirit is already free, ready to grasp little joys, little pleasures, as she gets a new hold on life and all life offers. University hospital, with its special equipment, to which is now added a warm water pool, is helping her and her companions, young and old, to regain the use of their bodies. Proceeds of the President Birthday ball at Intramural Building tonight will help in expanding the freedom of her spirit by providing comforts and means of enjoyment to cheer her in the long, long fight. Seventy per cent of the proceeds of the ball stay here; 30 per cent go to the Warm Springs Foundation for research in preventing and curing infantile paralysis. Tickets, $1, per couple, may be obtained at the door tonight. How could a dollar be better spent?

University of Michigan - Demolition of Haven Hall

University of Michigan - Demolition of Haven Hall image
Description

U of M Demolition of Haven Hall Law Building (Old Haven Hall) Built in 1863. Architect: Spier and Rohn, Detroit, Michigan. Cost to build: $15,000.00. Net floor area: 37,093 sq. ft. First renovation and enlargement in 1893 cost $30,000.00 and added lecture rooms and a tower on the northwest corner of the building. Second renovation and enlargement in 1898 cost $65,000.00 and resulted in the removal of the tower and a net floor area of 67,800 sq. ft. Renamed Haven Hall in honor of Erastus O. Haven, president of the University from 1863 to 1869, in 1933 when the Law School moved to the Cook Quadrangle. Burned in 1950. The Law Department (later School) was established in 1859 by the Board of Regents and rapidly outgrew the initial quarters that it was given in Mason Hall. After a failed effort to raise subscription funds for the erection of a new building for the School, the Regents appropriated University funds for the construction of the building, which was completed in 1863 and stood at the northwestern corner of the University of Michigan campus. The size of the original building was 70 by 90 feet. In 1863 it was occupied by the Law School, the University Chapel (until 1873) and the General Library (until 1883), all moved from an overcrowded Mason Hall. From 1863 until 1923 this building served as home to the Law School, although increasing enrollments throughout this time period necessitated two extensive remodelings. The first, in 1893, added more class and lecture rooms and a tower on the northwestern corner. The addition of a third year to the Law School curriculum in 1895 drastically impacted on the space occupied by the School and in 1898 the building was completely remodeled. The new construction, which completely subsumed the original building, created a rectangular building 208 feet long with three floors, no tower, and north and south wings. It contained all of the Law School's classrooms, lecture halls, and faculty and staff offices. The Law Library occupied the second floor of the south wing, while beneath it was a room specifically designed for the use of the University's Board of Regents, where they met for thirty-five years until their removal to the room next to the President's office in Angell Hall in 1933. With the construction of the Law Quadrangle during the period 1923 to 1933, the building at the northwestern corner of the Diag took on a new identity. The Regents renamed the building Haven Hall in honor of Erastus O. Haven, who had been President of the University of Michigan from 1863 to 1869. Haven Hall became one of the major buildings of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, with space given to the Departments of History, Sociology, Journalism, and the Bureau of Government and its library collection. On June 6th, 1950, a fire destroyed Haven Hall, including the 20,000 item Bureau of Government Library. The fire speeded action on a proposed addition to Angell Hall which was at that time being considered by the Board of Regents. When the addition was completed in 1952, the Regents authorized the recycling of the name of the recently burned building, so the current eight-story office building behind Angell Hall bears the name Haven Hall.

Against Apartheid - Almost 200 demonstrators turned out for a candlelight viil Monday night in Ann Arbor to protest apartheid in South Africa. The vigil commemorated the 10th anniversary of bloody anti-apartheid rioting in Soweto, a black township outside of Johannesburg. Monday night's demonstration on the University of Michigan Diag coincided with thousands of similar demonstrations around the world. Seventeen people were arrested outside the South African embassy in Washington for refusing to move along, and 20 demonstrators tried to disrupt a Lansing news conference held by Vice President George Bush to protest his fund-raising appearance at the home of publisher John McGoff, who has been accused of acting as an agent of the South African government (story on Page C3.)
