He has participated in major religious conferences in Jerusalem, England, and Germany. Dr. Cavert cautioned his audience against placing undue emphasis on security in formulating life careers. "Although we still give lip service to ideals of heroic living, our Amer­ ican practice is softer than that in any other generation," he stated.

Interested citizens converted the two squares into a park which, in the following years, was improved with trees, walks, and a fountain.

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.

Even to one who never knew Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, a revelation of her character and a record of her achievements cannot fail to be most interesting and helpful. To those who really knew and loved this inspired and inspiring teacher and reformer, such a record will have a value on which no price can be placed.
