UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AND BRANCHES, PRIMARY SCHOOLS, &c.
By an act of Congress, approved May 20, 1826, two townships of land, equal to 46,080 acres, were granted to Michigan, for the endowment of a University. The Legislature caused these lands to be judiciously selected, in different parts of the State, agreea- bly to the terms of the grant, in quantities not less than one section in one body. By a provision of the constitution of Michi- gan, the principal arising from the sale of these lands shall be and forever remain a permanent found, the interest thereon to be applied for the support of the University and its branches.
By an organic law of the Legislature, the government of the University and branches, is intrusted to twelve Regents, who are appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate; and said Board of Regents are declared a body cor- porate. The Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Judges of the Supreme Court and Chancellor, are also ex-officio members of the Board of Regents, but are not members of said corpora- tion. Several branches of the University have been located, from time to time, in different counties, and appropriations made in aid of their support.
University buildings have been erected, upon the site, at Ann
57
.
DIRECTORY.
Arbor, designated by an act of the Legislature, at a cost of about $50,000; additional buildings are contemplated, as soon as the finances of the board will warrant the expenditure. The Uni- versity was organized September, 1841.
The number of students in the University, has uniformly increased, from year to year, and, (as far as the finances, arising from the interest, will admit,) further aid will be extended to other branches, which have not been organized, or to those, which, although heretofore organized, appropriations have been necessarily suspended.
The course of studies in the University is thorough, and in- tended to afford opportunity for a most liberal education.
No tuition money is charged, beyond an entrance fee of $10, for instruction in the University, the liberal appropriation by Congress being deemed a fand, the interest of which will defray all expenses incident to this department of instruction.
The flattering condition of this institution, as well as the ex- cellent regulations, enacted relative to our common school system, affords cause for congratulation to the citizens of our growing commonwealth. And while we boast of the unsurpassed beauty and fertility of our soil, and natural productions, it will also be perceived that the freemen of Michigan are not insensible to the greater and more excellent advantages resulting from the culti- vation of the mind. The following named gentlemen form the Board of Regents, as at present constituted :
Jonathan Kearsley, Marvin Allen, Edward Mundy, John Owen, Alexander H. Redfield, Rev. Geo. Duffield, Rev. Charles C. Tay- lor, Elijah H. Pilcher, Hon. Elon Farnsworth, Zina Pitcher, M. D., Hon. Austin E. Wing, Minot T. Lane.
Eben N. Willcox, Secretary.
DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
In the beginning of the year 1842, an act passed the Legisla- ture of Michigan, forming the city of Detroit into one school district, and providing for the election of twelve school inspec- tors, who, together with the Mayor and Recorder of said city, (the two latter being declared to be ex-officio school inspectors,)
58
DETROIT
were constituted a body corporate, by the name and style of " The Board of Education of the City of Detroit."
The act of the Legislature authorizes the Common Council, once in each year, to assess and levy a tax, on all the real and personal property, within said city, not to exceed one dollar, for every child between the ages of five and seventeen years, towards the support of said schools, to be public and free to all children residing within the limits of the city, between the ages of five and seventeen years, inclusive.
The Board have, at present, twelve public schools, under their supervision, located in different parts of the city, which are kept open the whole year.
The greatest number of scholars registered, in the books of the several teachers, in actual attendance, during any one quarter of 1845, was 1,407.
The total number of children from four to eighteen, according to the school census of 1845, is 4,039.
The amount received from the State School Fund, in 1845, was $1,069 88.
The amount of said tax for 1845, was $3,000.
ST. VINCENT'S SEMINARY.
Corner of Larned and Randolph Streets.
Besides the Free Schools of the city, supported by law, there are upwards of one hundred children instructed daily, in the use- ful branches of education, at the above Catholic Seminary, taught 'by the Sisters of Charity, not more than 20 or 30 of whom pay for their tuition.
In addition to the Public and Free Schools, there are a num- ber of Select Schools established in different parts of the city, kept by teachers, whose qualifications are of a high order.
