  • College High Jinks
    TIMELINE #17 COLLEGE HIGH JINKS FUN IN THE ARB During my first school year (1953 - 1954), a group of 8 or 10 Lloyd House residents decided to let off some college steam. One evening, we underage students managed to purchase a small keg of beer and adjourned to "The Arb." The entrance to Nichols Arboretum is located near the major girls dormitories and presents wide open areas that are accessible at all hours. It was a favorite place for students to go to "make out" in an era of no student cars and dormitory living. Our Lloyd House group spent several hours in "The Arb" drinking beer (except for Bill Parks and myself, who drank soft drinks) and ate snack foods. We had fun, laughed and played games. One such game involved a small, downed tree which one of us grasped firmly at each end, ran down the hill, and used it to "mow down" our companions. As we left, there was a police car aiming right at "The Arb" entrance. When the policeman saw our obvious group of rowdies, he turned on his headlights, directly into our faces. We scattered and ran in all directions. All but one of us, Dan Weinstein, returned safely to Lloyd House. Dan told us later that he was running in the dark through the married student housing and didn't see the clothesline that he was bearing down on. The clothesline rope was exactly at mouth level. Dan ran into it so hard that he flipped upside down and may have pulled one of the rotted wooden poles out of the ground.

The seedlings, germinated at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska from seeds donated by Japan, were later delivered to 23 arboreta and botanical gardens in 21 states. Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arbore- tum is the sole Michigan recipient of seedlings. The seeds came from groves in Tokyo and Nara in south-central Japan, reportedly from the same groves where the original 1912 cherry trees were grown, according to Woodrow Nelson, Vice President Marketing Communications for Arbor Day Foundation, which germinated the seeds last year.

EXPERIENCE REASONS YOU BELONG 1COMMU NITY Michigan has long been known as a different kind of law school—where high-achieving students manage to treat each other with kindness. Your classmates have your back here, as a recent student commencement speaker attested. Flying home to be with his sick mom toward the end of the academic year, he made a hasty Facebook post asking his fellow students for advice, then turned his phone off for takeoff. When he landed a couple of hours later and turned his phone back on, he found that 56 classmates had already replied with referrals to doctors and hospitals and information about the condition. COMMU NITYYup. It’s like that here. 2 From its assistant dean (an alumnus and former BigLaw hiring Partner) to its 15-strong staff, the Office of Career Planning is built to work as hard as our students and graduates do—and in the same wide variety of ways.
