Pre51CJentsthe Club I Prest&ntsthe Club The University of Michigan Annual Report 1975-76 The Purposes To stimulate the active interest and to encourage participation of alumni and friends in the affairs of the University. To establish an exemplary pattern of substantial giv­ ing to the University by alumni and friends. To sponsor meetings of its members and University representatives to discuss the plans, problems, and objectives of The University of Michigan. To provide recognition to devoted alumni and friends who become members. The Reasons Perhaps the spirit that first enabled The University of Michigan to achieve greatness can be called sim­ ply a Michigan tradition. It still exists today-just as strong, just as imbued with fervor and glory. So spirit and tradition are not meaningless words. They concisely sum up the reason for Michigan's record of distinguished achievement in education, research, and public service. They also are the reasons why a group of dedicated alumni, who desired to help the University maintain its tradi­ tional record of academic growth and pioneering research, established The President's Club. From the President This Annual Report provides a welcome occasion for me to ex­ press my deepest thanks for the loyal support given to The Univer­ sity of Michigan by members of The Presidents Club. As members of The Presidents Club, Sally and I enjoy the camaraderie and the sincere interest in the University that we find expressed at the Annual Meeting and as we meet with various members throughout the year. As president of The University of Michigan, I can assure you that your gifts endow us with the financial flexibility that is essen­ tial to maintain the unique enrichment and expanded oppor­ tunities that make Michigan a leading institution of higher educa­ tion. The national reputation of our Presidents Club is in keeping with the traditional standard of excellence set by the University. Each year, the enthusiasm of club members seems to grow, as does our membership. The exceptional growth of The Presidents Club during times of economic fluctuation is a great tribute to the University. In a period when higher education faces new trials, new challenges, and growing criticism, and when the importance of higher education itself is being questioned by some, the financial resources and the dedicated volunteer services you devote to your University emphatically affirm the value that you place on your education. We are most grateful for your continuing interest and for your desire to maintain your University "among the leaders and the best." ~ R. W.

Chairman's Report The occasion of this fifteenth Annual Report is a good time to take stock of our program. The Presidents Club continues to prosper. By all accounts, there is no doubt that this is the finest organization of its type in the country. Our membership has grown by 230 since the last Annual Meeting, our largest spurt in growth ever, to reach a total of 1,776. Many of these new members were recruited by Paul Goebel. But many were also enlisted by other volunteers who are participating more and more, following the outstanding example set early in our club's history by Paul Goebel and Fred Vogt. A special thanks goes to each member who solicited or suggested new members. In fact, our volunteer program is of such high quality and has at­ tracted so much national attention that it recently won the Grand Award in the "Special Constituencies Giving Program of the Year" category in the recognition program sponsored by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. Attendance at the 1975 Annual Meeting remained high, as close to 500 people participated in the festivities. The meeting opened in the Museum of Art where its director, Bret Waller, addressed the group. Later, members toured the museum, which contains many works of art donated by members of The Presidents Club. It was followed by a luncheon featuring a "Profile of Today's Students" Mr. and Mrs. Norris Host from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Most of us owe our start to The University of Michigan. Upon graduation our diplomas said to the world, "Look, I know something. Now give me a chance." Because of the quality of ~ education at The University of Michigan, more than the usual Robert P. Briggs number of opportunities have been opened to us. Having experienced various affiliations with the University over many years, I have been gratified to see the University grow and consistently maintain its leadership throughout the world. It has been thrilling to participate in and to witness the growth of private gift support as increasing numbers of alumni and friends have chosen to invest in the future of The University of Michigan by providing supplemental financial support. Indeed, financial flexibility has been an essential element ena­ bling the University to remain in the forefront of higher education. Often, a relatively small amount of capital, judiciously applied, can yield bountiful dividends in the enrichment of University life. Both designated and undesignated gifts are of great value, but un­ designated dollars are becoming increasingly impo:r:~ant, especially since they become the seed money for new or little known research and educational frontiers. During the last three years, undesignated funds have provided emergency financial aid, research internships, and rewards for out­ standing teaching. They have also made it possible for the Univer­ sity to become a center for the exchange of information in study conferences on women's sports, alternative careers for doctoral candidates, and the economic outlook. The University Values Program attracted wide attention and was supported by undesignated gifts. The role of the University in a controversial genetic research area, "moderate risk" recombi­ nant DNA, was throughly examined in a number of nationally recognized programs sponsored by these funds. International Women's Year activities were underwritten by un­ designated giving, as were a number of special lectures. Unique op­ portunities were made available, such as the residency of exiled Russian poet Joseph Brodsky. The University's need for undesignated gifts is great.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY ’Volume XLV SEPTEMBER,1949 Number 3 The Heroic Age of the Social Sciences Robert S. Fletcher* History, political theory, and economics were not wholly neglected even in the colonial colleges. But history was chiefly treated as the handmaiden of theology and the Greek and Latin classics, while economic and political matters were dealt with in the courses in moral philosophy and ethics. The American Revolution and the experience of constitu- tion-making gave a great impetus to the study of politics. In 1779, Thomas Jefferson was instrumental in bringing about a notable revision of the curriculum of William and Mary College whereby more emphasis was placed upon political studies; by 1792 a knowIedge of “NationaI Law, Law of Nations, and the general principles of politics” was required for graduation. Other colleges followed this example. In the two succeeding generations the Federalist was listed as a text in many catalogs, and Locke, Rousseau, Montesquieu, and the Declaration of Independence were often included in required reading. New books on moral philosophy appeared with an ex- panded political emphasis. In 1795 a professor at Columbia published a Systematic Treatise on Moral Philosophy: Com- prehending the Law of Nature-Ethics-Natural Jurispru- dence-General Economy-Politics-and the Lnw of Nations which he optimistically hoped would “inflame the American youth with a true love for their country.”’ The first rumblings of the industrial revolution produced a greater emphasis on economics (or political economy, as it wag called).

Spanning almost 40 years of Genzken’s inventive, audacious, and deeply influential artwork, the exhibition brings together more than 150 objects in an astonishing variety of techniques, including assemblage, sculpture, painting, photography, collage, drawing, artist’s books, film, and large-scale installations.

    PROFESSIONALIZING ECONOMICS: The ‘Marginalist Revolution’ in Historical Context Michael A. Bernstein Department of History 0104 University of California, San Diego 9500 Gilman Drive La Jolla, California 92093-0104 [USA] [Phone: 858-534-1070] [Fax: 858-534-7283] [[email protected]] 2 Economic analysis, serving for two centuries to win an understanding of the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, has been fobbed off with another bride -- a Theory of Value. There were no doubt deep-seated political reasons for the substitution but there was also a purely technical, intellectual reason. -- Joan Robinson [1956]i If the last years of the nineteenth century witnessed the first, genuine articulation of a professional self-consciousness among American economists, then they also demarcated the establishment of an altogether novel protocol for those experts. This new agenda, developed with increasing rigor and authority as the twentieth century beckoned, began a significant reorientation of the field's object of study while at the same time it reconfigured long-standing perceptions of the history of economic thought as a whole. Scientific sophistication necessarily involved a revision of practice, yet it also encouraged the articulation of new perceptions of its pedigree.ii Linking the object of study with particular and venerable authorities from the ages was of singular importance to the successful construction of a distinctly professional knowledge. Framing that understanding in a particular way was the result of both a social and an intellectual process. With their most apparent and seemingly immediate intellectual roots in the moral philosophy of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, modern economists were (and are) eager to invoke validation by impressive forebears and traditions.
