    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • A History of the Lieutenant Governor's Office S209
    A History of A History of The Office of the Adjutant, Quartermaster, The Lieutenantand Inspector Governor’s Generals Office S209 S105 The Lieutenant Governor The modern office of the Lieutenant Governor is rare in that it is still used by the office holder for which it was originally designed. Architect Elijah E. Myers located the suite on the second floor to the immediate south of the Senate Chamber, as the Lieutenant Gover- nor has always served as a presiding officer of the Michigan Senate. The Capitol’s original floor plans indicate that the office originally consisted of only two rooms: an office (now S209) and a small adjoining washroom and water closet (now S209B). The Secretary of the Senate worked next door. Interestingly, Myers’s floor plans also assigned the Lieutenant Governor a small apartment located on the basement (or ground) floor in the west wing where he could stay during legislative sessions. This unique suite, the only one of its kind proposed for the Capitol, was to contain a dining room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms. Ultimately this scheme was scrapped, and the space used as storerooms and offices. The first Lieutenant Governor to work in the present Capitol was Mr. Alonzo Sessions, a native New Yorker who came to Michigan in 1833 to acquire land. Two years later he began farming in Ionia County, where he eventually held several local offices and positions including Justice of the Peace, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Ionia County Sheriff, and President of the First National Bank of Ionia. In 1856 Michigan’s present Capitol, the state’s third, opened on January 1, 1879, to great acclaim.

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.
