From Our Corner to the Four Corners of the Globe & SPRING 2014 The Magazine of The Gerald r. Ford School oF Public Policy A Century of Impact 100 Years of Policy at Michigan 2 GERALD R. FORD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY s we celebrate 100 years of preparing graduates for careers in public service, we’ve been exploring our school’s history and uncovering Asome marvelous stories. We’ve dedicated a full ten pages of this issue to a photo-rich walk through that history: the Progressive Era origins of our master’s program in 1914; the revolutionary sixties, when we shifted our focus from administration to policy; and the powerful role of new media today. But choosing a dozen events a decade, on average, is no simple task. Of course you include the firsts—first director, first alumnus, first alumna, first Detroit internships, first endowment, and more—but what else goes in? What’s left out? Ultimately, we chose to include steps forward, like our Bureau of Government Research, and steps back, like the fire that destroyed much of that bureau’s collections. We chose to include ongoing commitments, like the fact that pro- fessional experiences have been a required part of our curriculum from the start and that applied policy engagement is just as important now as it was in 1914. And we chose to include some of the world events that shaped today’s policies, and today’s policy challenges. We also decided to include a number of stories that offer a flavor of our people, and our community. For the last 100 years, our school has prized people and community. The warmth and camaraderie here is palpable, and we hope that it will always be a part of what makes our school such a special place. What have we left out? Far too much. Partly, because our research continues and partly because we’re out of space. As such, our plan is to release a far more thorough timeline during our 100th anniversary reunion at the end of October. That version, which will be permanently available online, can go on and on and on. And we hope that it will include many of the stories, memories, and photographs you share with us between now and then, and State & Hill those you make with us in the years ahead. Dean: Susan M.

Warner and Ida C. Brown Ann Arbor 1963 Composition and Lithoprinted by BRAUN -BRUM FIELD, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan Oil.. Ill* H INTRODUCTION The Michigan Historical Collections are a special library of The University of Michigan, con- taining the archives of the University and papers of individuals and organizations throughout Michi- gan. In the beginning there were two different projects. One, begun by Professor Lewis G. Vander Velde in 1934, was a program of collecting manuscript and printed materials relating to Michigan history, primarily for the use of graduate students in his seminar. The other program concerned the collecting and preservation of records of the University. To accomplish this purpose, President Alexander G. Ruthven appointed The Committee on University Archives, of which Professor Vander Velde was the secretary. Firmly convinced that a comprehen- sive collection of manuscripts dealing with the history of the University and the State would be use- ful for students and scholars, he began a vigorous campaign of letter writing and personal visits. Housed for a time in a room in the Clements Library, in 1938, needing more space, the papers were moved into the newly opened Rackham Building. In the same year the Regents established the Michigan Historical Collections and appointed Professor Vander Velde the Director.

    Dissertation Chapter 2 Sam Rosenfeld Chapter 2: Democrats and the Politics of Principle Greensboro Daily News, July 8, 1959 The scholarly apostles of responsible party doctrine in the postwar years tended to be liberal Democrats who shared their ilk’s frustration with the party’s internal divisions and contradictions. When E.E. Schattschneider wrote to Adlai Stevenson after the 1952 election, he laid out a vision of a disciplined and coherent Democratic opposition that increasing numbers of liberal activists and voters found attractive.1 As his noncommittal reply suggested, Stevenson’s role in realizing this vision would be partial, somewhat unlikely, and at times even unwitting. An introspective patrician rather than a party warrior – and an ideological moderate to boot – Stevenson nonetheless served as a vessel for programmatic liberal energies in the 1950s. His two campaigns for president facilitated, on the one hand, the coalescence of a powerful cadre of policy intellectuals that helped to shape a liberal agenda during the Eisenhower era, and, on the 1 E.E.

Both developments created constituencies that were open to making American party politics more national in scope, programmatic in orientation, and coherent in structure. The Democratic struggle for party responsibility was less visible in Stevenson’s actual campaigns than in nascent efforts to reform Congress, skirmishes in the national conventions, and, most vividly, the controversial tenure of Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Paul Butler.

    Ann Arbor When John Allen and Elisha Rumsey established the town of "Annarbour" in 1824, the two land speculators named the settlement after their wives, both named Ann, and a grove of trees where the women preferred to meet. From that bucolic beginning, Ann Arbor has grown into a city of more than 110,000 people. It is home to one of the nation's finest public universities, and has become a industrial hub for a variety of commercial enterprises, from automotive design to pizza. Since its inception, the Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan has collected materials on the history of Ann Arbor and its residents. There are numerous collections that spotlight the city's culture, architecture, history, and a long tradition of social outreach. This guide is designed to inform interested researchers of the existence of unique materials currently held by the Bentley Historical Library. Listed are manuscript collections and selected publications reflecting the life, history and culture of Ann Arbor. These materials are open to researchers for the study of the social, political, religious, and economic dimensions of this community.
