Commemorating the centennial of the University of Michigan's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, this memorial volume captures the historic celebration held on October 15, 1941. The College, the University's inaugural and sole unit at its inception in 1841, marked a century of academic evolution. The event featured a keynote address by University President Alexander G. Ruthven, followed by a comprehensive historical review from Jesse S. Reeves, Professor of American Institutions. The program included specialized addresses covering the College's core academic divisions: languages and literature by John G. Winter, sciences and mathematics by A.

This book offers a thorough reflection on the College's impactful century, celebrating its enduring commitment to diverse academic disciplines.
