Published under the auspices of The University of Michigan Law School (which, however, assumes no responsibility for the views expressed) with the aid of funds derived from a gift to The University of Michigan by the Barbour-Woodward Fund. Copyright© by The University of Michigan, 1969 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I suppose that lawyers are always curious about the legal history of any institution with which they are affiliated. As the University of Michigan approached its One Hundred Fiftieth year, my deep interest was heightened as I wondered about the legal structure and involvements of this durable edifice over that long period of time. This compendium is the result and I acknowledge the help that I have had. My secretaries, Mrs. Henry Herber, Mrs. James M. McCracken and Mrs. Mil­ ton W. Fuehrer, have been so patient and helpful in all ways, but especially in those tedious tasks of proofreading, typing and retyping. Professor William J. Pierce of the University of Michigan Law School, along with Robert Berger, a graduate student at the University of Michigan Law School, and Dean Charles W. Joiner of Wayne State University Law School have been of great assist­ ance with their many suggestions as to format and content. Pro­ fessor Pierce and Mr. Berger brought combined interest and experience to the task of suggesting orderly presentation of sub­ ject matter, weaving all together with clear and connective narra­ tive. Their aid has been of inestimable value. Jay A. Rosenberg, a student at the Law School, was kind enough to assist in study­ ing the records of suits instituted by or against the University in the Circuit Court for Washtenaw County, Michigan. The Clerk for the City of Ann Arbor, Mr. Look, graciously aided in our search for ordinances of the Village and City as they pertained to the University and contracts between the Uni­ versity and the City. None were deemed of significance, except the contract between the City of Ann Arbor and the University relating to police and fire protection of the University area and property. I am grateful to the Attorney General for Michigan, The Honorable Frank Kelley, and to his assistants, Mrs. Eugene Wanger and Miss Hilma B. Stelljes, for their many courtesies in helping me locate opinions of the Attorney General relating to v vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS the University and permitting me to study them in the Lansing offices of the Attorney General. I made generous use of the Detroit Public Library and the Detroit Bar Association Library and the assistants at both places were most pleasing and helpful. WILLIAM B. CUDLIP June, 1969 FOREWORD Inspiration for the preparation of this volume came from reading two sections of Volume I of the four-volumes published in 1942 entitled, The University of Michigan-An Encyclopedic Survey. One section by E. Blythe Stason, Dean Emeritus of the University's Law School, is captioned "The Constitutional Sta­ tus of the University of Michigan." The other section captioned "The Organization, Powers and Personnel of the Board of Regents" was prepared by the Dean and the late Wilfred B. Shaw, long connected with the University in important adminis­ trative capacities and intimately acquainted with its history. The material here presented duplicates in part that con­ tained in these two sections. It is intended to be more specific and, in some respects, it is much more expansive. Moreover, it speaks of developments since the year 1942 when the survey was published. If occasionally it has value to those charged with adminis­ tering the affairs of the University and educational institutions of similar constitutional posture, the efforts in publishing this volume will be well rewarded. Subjects not treated in this volume are as follows: (a) Federal laws, such as those granting financial aid and other assistance, under which the federal government assists uni­ versities and colleges alone or in connection with other govern­ mental units, and state aid and assistance laws. (b) Statutes of Michigan appropriating funds for the sup­ port and maintenance of the University. (c) Statutes known as "millage tax laws," the first of which was enacted in 1867. This form of financial support for the Uni­ versity is no longer employed. When used there was imposed on property in the State, subject to ad valorem taxes, a millage tax in varying amounts based on assessed valuation. (d) General laws of the State of Michigan applicable to all citizens. vii viii FOREWORD (e) Proceedings involving the University of Michigan before state and local boards and commissions, and before municipal and justices courts. The legislative history of the University is extremely inter­ esting. It begins with the territorial laws enacted in 181 7 and con­ tinues to date. Michigan was admitted to the Union in 1837 and thereafter a legislature as constituted by the Constitution of the State, adopted in 183 5 and re-adopted in 183 7, enacted the laws. There was a revision of the State statutes in 183 7 and 1846. Since then pursuant to law, from time to time compila­ tions of statutes have been prepared. The generally recognized compilations were made in the years 1857, 1871, 1882, 1890, 1897, 1912, 1915, 1929 and 1948. In this volume the general history of significant laws enacted by the Territorial Council and by the State Legislature for each year from 1817 are considered and sufficiently treated in the Stason and Price articles contained in this volume (Chap­ ters I & V) and in Chapter III which discusses current statutes pertaining to the University and their history. It appears that no significant statutes enacted since 1817 have been enacted and then repealed, save perhaps the "millage" tax laws. Inconsequential laws were passed and repealed. A sum­ mary of all important statutes in force at this time is set forth. A university has many gleaming facets: governing board, administrative officers, faculty, students, alumni and, yes, many friends. The story of great institutions can be revealed in diverse ways, through the means of various media such as histories, arti­ cles and other writings. Surprisingly, perhaps, given antiquity of a sort, such institutions sooner or later are bound to become en­ meshed in law for one reason or another. This is particularly true of entities which are public institutions, such as the Univer­ sity of Michigan. Given this age, these laws, whether expressed in decisions or statutes, often tell much of interest as to the his­ tory, traditions, growth, rights and responsibilities of such bodies. The history and drama is slowly and haphazardly un­ folded, but for the reader it is there. WILLIAM B. CUDLIP June, 1969 CAPSULE HISTORY OF UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN With the thought that some perspective concerning the University's general history may be useful to one examining this volume, it seems desirable to mention in chronological order some of the main happenings in the one and one-half centuries of the life of this great educational institution. Year Event 1787 Congress adopted the Ordinance of 1787 provid­ ing for the government of the Northwest terri­ tories and the implanting of educational facilities therein. 1805 Territory of Michigan was organized and lands granted for educational purposes. 1817 Organization of a supervisory body known as the Catholepistemiad of Michigania in Detroit, Mich­ igan. Initiation of Fort Meigs treaty by Terri­ torial Governor Cass with Indians providing, among other things, for three sections of land for support of a territorial institution of higher learning. 1821 Congressional act setting aside two townships for use and support of a University within the Terri­ tory of Michigan. Creation of "University of Michigan" with changes in 1817 law. The new act provided for state-wide branches of the Uni­ versity. 1835 State Constitution adopted with recognition of the University and means for its support. ix x CAPSULE HISTORY Year Event 1836 Opening of building on Bates Street, Detroit, for admission of first students. 1837 Michigan admitted to Union as a State.

The historical review begins with 1874 because the decision made that year in the Kdlamazoo Case confirmed the right of communities to high schools by taxation. It ends with 1921 because two pisurrtt tal events occurred in that year: first, the organization of the American Association of Junior Colleges, and second, the establishtent of the first unitari.two..year junior college, namely, ,Modesto Junior College in Modesto, California. It reviews the historical development of secondary schools, liberal arts colleges, professional schools, universities, and junior colleges in that time period. The author/concludes that the junior college of today is an historical accident. A bibliography is appended.

E. REEVES* and K-ENNETii E. VANLANDINGHAMt Considerable interest in state constitutional revision has been demonstrated recently. Missouri and Georgia adopted re- vised constitutions in 1945 and New Jersey voted down a pro- posed revision at the general election in 1944. The question of calling a constitutional convention was acted upon unfavorably by the Illinois legislature in May, 1945, and the Kentucky legis- lature, at its 1944 and 1946 sessions, passed a resolution submit- ting" the question of calling a constitutional convention to the people of the state who will vote upon it at the general election in 1947. The reason for this interest in revision is not difficult to detect.

  • The Beginning of a New University Presidency Is Usually Associated
    1 THE LEADERS AND BEST he beginning of a new university presidency is usually associated Twith the pomp and circumstance of an academic inauguration ceremony. The colorful robes of an academic procession, the familiar strains of ritualistic music, and the presence of distinguished guests and visitors all make for an impressive ceremony, designed to sym- bolize the crowning of a new university leader. Of course, like most senior leadership positions, the university presidency takes many forms depending on the person; the institution; and, perhaps most signi‹cant, the needs of the times. Clearly, as the chief executive of‹cer of an institution with thousands of employees (faculty and staff) and clients (students, patients, sports fans), an annual budget in the billions of dollars, a physical plant the size of a small city, and an in›uence that is frequently global in extent, the management respon- sibilities of the university president are considerable, comparable to those of the CEO of a large, multinational corporation. A university president is also a public leader, with important sym- bolic, political, pastoral, and at times even moral leadership roles, par- ticularly when it comes to representing the institution to a diverse array of external constituencies, such as government, business and industry, prospective donors, the media, and the public at large. The contemporary university is a political tempest in which all the con- 3 4 The View from the Helm tentious issues swirling about our society churn together: for example, civil rights versus racial preference, freedom of speech versus con›ict- ing political ideologies, social purpose versus market-driven cost- effectiveness.
