  • Burn Brightly in Search of Those Who Carry the Torch and Those Who Shine Brightest, We Uncover Campus Gems That Comprise a Sparkling Selection of LSA Brilliance
    Fall 2013 Burn Brightly IN SEARCH OF THOSE WHO CARRY THE TORCH AND THOSE WHO SHINE BRIGHTEST, WE UNCOVER CAMPUS GEMS THAT COMPRISE A SPARKLING SELECTION OF LSA BRILLIANCE. This rare papercut from China’s Cultural Revolution was almost lost forever, but now is available as part of a stunning collection for researchers worldwide. Turn to p. 16 for more. UPDATE Lighting the Way IT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY to make something burn brightly. The same is true of an idea or a person. It’s easier to go along as one of crowd. The status quo is comfortable. It takes curiosity, stamina, and that all-important spark to kindle greatness, and it takes a Michigan Victor to keep the spark burning as a flame. Leaders and Vic- tors shine brighter than their counterparts because they have figured out how to burn — even amid shadows. But how do they ignite and feed their individual sparks? The Victors in this issue all exemplify one consistent theme: Their brilliance defies logical, run-of-the-mill thinking. Just as the massive secrets of the universe can be un- locked by the tiniest particles, Victors are brave enough to embrace the contradictory. Victors who help others get ahead. Those who serve others become leaders. Victors who give get the most back. Those who strive for deeper understanding throw out much of what they think they know. Leaders who have found a way to unleash their light didn’t just pull it out from under the bushel. They used the bushel itself to light a thousand other fires.

  • John W.Aldridge
    HopwoodThe Newsletter Vol. LXVIII, 2 http://www.lsa.umich.edu/english/hopwood/ June, 2007 HOPWOODHOPWOOD We are very sorry to announce the death of Professor John W. Aldridge, who directed the Hopwood Program from 1975 until 1988, when he was succeeded by Nicholas Delbanco. Professor Delbanco wrote this piece for the University Record: John W. Aldridge, Emeritus Professor of English, passed away in Madison, Georgia, on February 7, 2007. He retired from active faculty status as of December 31, 1990, after a highly productive career as teacher and scholar. John Aldridge studied at the University of Chattanooga in his native Tennessee from 1940 to 1943; he was graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1947. His service in the Second World was distinguished; an Infantry Rifl eman and Information Specialist, he was decorated with the Bronze Star Medal and fi ve bronze combat stars for Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Central Europe, and the Ardennes. Having taught at such institutions as The University of Wyoming and Sarah Lawrence College, he came to Ann Arbor in 1964 and remained here until his retirement. He served as Chairman of the Editorial Board of the Michigan Quarterly Review and, for more than a decade, as Chairman of the Hopwood Writing Awards Committee. When After the Lost Generation appeared in 1951, it was immediately hailed as the rallying cry of a new generation of novelists—writers such as Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote and Paul Bowles. In his 1985 Introduction to the re-issued text, Norman Mailer suggests that “Aldridge was the nearest guideline to absolute truth that the working novelist had in my young days.

    97TH ANNUAL HONORS CONVOCATION MARCH 15, 2020 2:00 P.M. HILL AUDITORIUM This year marks the 97th Honors Convocation held at the University of Michigan since the first was instituted on May 13, 1924, by President Marion LeRoy Burton. On these occasions, the University publicly recognizes and commends the undergraduate students in its schools and colleges who have earned distinguished academic records or have excelled as leaders in the community. It is with great pride that the University honors those students who have most clearly and effectively demonstrated academic excellence, dynamic leadership, and inspirational volunteerism. The Honors Convocation ranks with the Commencement Exercises as among the most important ceremonies of the University year. The names of the students who are honored for outstanding achievement this year appear in this program. They include all students who have earned University Honors in both Winter 2019 and Fall 2019, plus all seniors who have earned University Honors in either Winter 2019 or Fall 2019. The William J. Branstrom Freshman Prize recipients are listed, as well – recognizing first year undergraduate students whose academic achievement during their first semester on campus place them in the upper five percent of their school or college class. James B. Angell Scholars – students who receive all “A” grades over consecutive terms – are given a special place in the program. In addition, the student speaker is recognized individually for exemplary contributions to the University community. To all honored students, and to their parents, the University extends its hearty congratulations. Susan M. Collins • Acting Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Honored Students Honored Faculty Faculty Colleagues and Friends of the University It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 97th University of Michigan Honors Convocation.
