CHARLES WALLIS EDMUNDS APPENDIX TO (PAGES 1-164) As has already been stated in the Preface, Professor Hinsdale finished his work upon the History of the University in the summer of 1900. Writing in the closing years of the nineteenth century, he sometimes referred to the eighteenth century as the "last" century, and to the nineteenth as the "present" century. The reader will readily make the necessary adjustment. PAGE 53. On Alumni Day, 1903, a committee of the Society of the Alumni was authorized to consider the question of reviving the proposition to raise by subscription a fund for the erection of a Memorial Building. After duly considering the matter the committee proceeded to solicit subscriptions. At the meeting in June, 1906, it was announced that upwards of a hundred thousand dollars had been subscribed, and that nearly seventy thousand had already been paid into the University treasury. So it appears that finally this long cherished hope is in a way to be realized. PAGE 66. In 1902, the Regents having acquired the title to the First Ward School Building and grounds on State Street, the building was refitted for recitation purposes and named West Hall. The purchase price was $16,000. In February, 1900, the Regents also purchased the Winchell property on North University Avenue for the sum of $14,000. PAGE 69. The attendance at the Summer Session has steadily increased from year to year till it has now (1906) passed the thousand mark. PAGE 70.—By way of comparison with the attendance of 1898-1899 the figures for 19051906 are appended: Deducting students counted twice, 113, and adding the attendants upon the Summer Session not contained above, 391, we have a grand total of 4,571, or more than four times the attendance of 1870-1871. The degrees conferred in 1905 were 836. PAGE 71. The statement in regard to salaries in the Law and Medical Schools now needs modification. Most of the full professors in those Departments, not engaged in active practice, at present receive a salary of $3,000. PAGE 84. At various times before 1901 the question of conferring a uniform Bachelor's degree in the Department of Literature, Science, and the Arts had been under discussion in the Faculty. On February 18, of that year, the Faculty adopted the following resolution, which was submitted to the Board of Regents three days later and met their approval: "Beginning in June, 1901, the degree of Bachelor of Arts shall be conferred on any student who has satisfied any one of the four sets of requirements for graduation now in force in the Department of Literature, Science, and the Arts." This legislation was followed by a modification of the requirements for graduation. All courses were thrown open to free election by students who had completed their first year, or thirty hours. First year students were required to elect three hours a week throughout the year in English Composition, and twelve hours, in addition, selected from a list of nine subjects of instruction, specified as follows: Greek, Latin, French, German, History, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology. These requirements are still in force. PAGE 88. The Graduate School has grown slowly. The following are the figures for attendance: 1899-1900, 87; 1900-1901, 108; 1901-1902, 107; 1902-1903, 100; 1903-1904, 103; 1904-1905, 94; 1905-1906, 103. (See page 365.) PAGE 96. The State Legislature of 1901 appropriated $50,000 for the erection of a Psychopathic Ward in connection with the University Hospital. This sum was afterwards increased by $14,000 for equipment. The contract was let in July, 1902, but the building was not finally occupied till February, 1906. The purpose was to provide for the treatment of a limited number of acute cases of insanity, with a view to the discovery of better methods of cure, especially in the incipient stages of the disease. The Director is also pathologist to the State Hospitals for the Insane, and co-operates with the physicians of these institutions in prosecuting research work on mental disturbances. Being a part of the University Hospital, this ward affords opportunities to the students in medicine to observe methods of treatment, as in the other wards. The widow of Dr. Alonzo B. Palmer bequeathed at her death, March 7, 1901, the sum of $20,000 for a Memorial Ward to her husband, who was for thirty-five years (1852-1887) Professor in the Department of Medicine and Surgery. She also bequeathed the sum of $15,000 as an endowment for the support and maintenance of free beds therein. The contract for this ward was let in April, 1902, and the building was in due time completed and occupied. On March 5, 1903, the Regents provided for the opening of a Pasteur Institute for the treatment of rabies, and the work was regularly taken up in April following. The work of the Institute is now prosecuted in connection with the Hygienic Laboratory. |
