students appeared, of whom 498 were graduates and 106 were
non-graduates. This is approximately 3.2 percent of the total names
given in that edition, and was 6 percent of the college graduates
listed. There is no reason to suppose that the same percentages at least
would not apply in a similar survey of the latest edition.
While it is, for obvious reasons, impossible to give the names of all
graduates who have achieved a certain measure of distinction, a few who
have attained special prominence in their special fields may be
mentioned.
It is most natural that Michigan alumni should figure prominently in the
educational world. Thus, among college presidents, in addition to
President Hutchins, '71, Michigan can claim Charles Kendall Adams, '61,
President of Cornell University from 1885 to 1892, and later, 1892 to
1901, of Wisconsin; Mark Harrington, '68, University of Washington;
Austin Scott, A.M., '70, Rutgers; Alice Freeman Palmer, '76, Wellesley,
1881-87; Henry Wade Rogers, '74, formerly President of Northwestern, and
later Dean of the Yale Law School; Elmer Ellsworth Brown, '89, New York
University; and Stratton D. Brooks, '96, Oklahoma.
Aside from the many distinguished graduates on her own Faculty rolls,
Michigan has also for many years been well represented in the faculties
of all the leading American universities. At Harvard these include
Edwin L. Mark, '71, Professor of Anatomy; Paul Hanus, '78, Head of the
Department of Education; and Edwin F. Gay, '90, until recently Dean of
the School of Business Administration; at Yale, John E. Clark, '56, for
many years Professor of Mathematics, and the late Professor Willard T.
Barbour, '05, of the Law School; at Columbia, the late Calvin Thomas,
'74, Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures; Henry R. Seager,
'90, Professor of Economics; at Dartmouth, Gabriel Campbell, '65, long
Professor of Philosophy; and Frank H. Dixon, '92, Professor of
Economics, later occupying the same chair at Princeton; where are also
Duane Reed Stuart, '96, Professor of Greek, Christian Gauss, '98,
Professor of Romance Languages, and Edward S. Corwin, '00, who now holds
the chair of Political Science, formerly occupied by President Wilson.
At Tufts, Amos Dolbear, '67_e_, was for many years Professor of Physics.
The Johns Hopkins faculty roll shows the names of Henry M. Hurd, '63,
'66_m_, Professor of Psychiatry; John H. Abel, '83_m_, Professor of
Pharmacology; Franklin P. Mall,
