which is to hang with Dr. Angell's portrait in the Union.

The greater portion of alumni gifts, however, have come from individual
graduates. These include such monumental benefactions as the Hill
Auditorium, for which a bequest of $200,000 was left by the late Regent
Arthur Hill, '65_e_, of Saginaw; the Martha Cook Building which was
completed at a cost of about $500,000 by the Cook family of Hillsdale,
the Betsy Barbour Dormitory, costing some $100,000 given by ex-Regent
Levi L. Barbour, '63, '65_l_, of Detroit, and the great library of
American history, with its special building, given by Regent William L.
Clements, '82_e_, of Bay City. This library, which is reported to have
cost $400,000, and has been judged by experts to be worth much more than
that now, and the $200,000 building to come, represent a princely gift.
Ex-Regent Barbour also gave, in 1917, a fund of $100,000 to be used for
providing scholarships for Oriental women in the University. To this he
added two years later property in Detroit from which the income alone,
during the term of the ninety-nine years' lease now in effect upon it,
will amount to nearly $2,500,000. The sum of $100,000 was also left by
the late Professor Richard Hudson, '71, to establish a professorship in
history, at present held by Professor Arthur Lyon Cross, Harvard, '95.
Professor Hudson also left his library to the University, which has
benefited by many similar gifts from alumni, notably the historical
books given by Clarence M. Burton, '73, the library of Thomas S. Jerome,
'84, of Capri, Italy, and the musical library presented by Frederick and
Frederick K. Stearns, '73-'76, as well as the libraries of several
members of the Faculties given the University upon their death. These
include the library in Romance Literature of Professor Edward L. Walter,
'68, the philosophical library of Professor George S. Morris, '81
(hon.), the Germanic Library of Professor George A. Hench, the
geological library of Professor Israel C. Russell, and the classical
library of Professor Elisha Jones, '59.

Too numerous to mention in detail are the many special gifts for
research, such as the continual funds for the work of the University
Museum supplied by Bryant Walker, '76, of Detroit, or the large
telescope and other gifts to the Department of Astronomy by Robert P.
Lamont, '91_e_, of Chicago, or for fellowships, the purchase of books,
educational material, and scientific apparatus, as well as t
