uction and to research work, which greatly strengthened
the prestige of the University as a center of higher education.

The final establishment of the School as a separate division of the
University naturally gave a decided impetus to this development. A
suite of offices was set apart for the administrative force; special
encouragement was given to the publication of the results of their work
by members of the Faculty, particularly through such agencies as the
University Humanistic Series, and similar series in other fields, while
fifteen University fellowships were also established, as well as the
State College Fellowships mentioned above. In addition a number of
fellowships have been privately established by individuals and
corporations, ranging from the classics to paper-making. During the last
few years there have been in all between thirty-five and forty-five
fellowships ordinarily available. The enrolment in the School reached
570 in 1916. There was naturally a falling off during the war, though by
the year 1919-20 the enrolment had once more reached 509. Of this number
227 were registered in the summer session, 173 were women and 195 were
graduates of other institutions than Michigan.

The history of the University Library has been closely associated, as is
only natural, with the growth of the Literary College, and it is proper
to include a word about the Library in this place. The appointment of
the first Librarian in 1837 did not make a library, and for many years
the fine but small collection of books gathered in Europe by Professor
Gray was housed in different places about the Campus and was used only
as a circulating library--open for one hour each week for the use of the
professors and students. However a note in the library regulations to
the effect that: "The present instructors are of opinion that there are
very few of the books in the library which would be useful to students,"
seems to limit even this function of the little collection. All this was
changed in 1856 when the whole North Wing was set apart as a Museum and
Library. Here for the first time, the books were properly shelved and
arrangements made for their daily use in an adequate reading-room under
the charge of Dr. Tappan's son, John L. Tappan, who took charge as the
first real Librarian. He arranged the books scientifically and began the
first card catalogue.

Almost at once the Library sprang into a new place in University life.
