The medical department began in 1850 in this Greek revival building on east University. A pioneer in medical education, it contained laboratories, lecture rooms, and a large amphitheater for dissection when cadavers were available. The four story wing at the rear was added in 1864. The building was replaced by Randall physics laboratory in 1914.]]> admin photo Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:37:20 -0500 http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/engraving_300.gif.html http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/engraving_300.gif.html

Engineering classes had been taught in the literary department beginning in 1853. This laboratory, begun in 1885, was expanded several times, providing drawing rooms, testing machines, steam engines, and a 70 foot tower with a water tank for hydraulic work. A separate college by 1895, engineering dominated the southeast corner of campus for a century. The laboratory itself was replaced by the undergraduate library in 1956.]]> admin photo Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:37:20 -0500 http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/chem-lab_300_large.gif.html http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/chem-lab_300_large.gif.html
Built in 1856 at the request of President Tappan, the "chemical laboratory for analytical courses" was one of the first in the world devoted exclusively to laboratory instruction in chemistry. Originally only three rooms, it was expanded many times, and provided 135 lab benches by 1868. After a new chemistry building was erected in 1909, the economics department occupied the old building until it was destroyed by fire in 1981.]]> admin photo Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:37:20 -0500 http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/chem-lab_300.gif.html http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/chem-lab_300.gif.html

Early students, all male, were expected to chop their own firewood, bring it across the muddy campus from the central wood yard, and carry water up to their rooms from the well. In all weather they used the latrine behind the college buildings. Rooms were lit by candles or the fire in an iron stove. Meals were taken at private homes nearby. Students often stopped to chat near the stile steps at the northwest corner of the fence surrounding campus.]]> admin photo Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:37:20 -0500 http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/waterman_300_large.gif.html http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/waterman_300_large.gif.html
The first organized campus sports were cricket in 1860 and baseball in 1863. for years students lobbied for permanent athletic facilities, claiming that a gymnasium would help reduce rowdyism. Waterman gymnasium for men (right) was completed in 1894 on the site of the original baseball diamond. Two years later Barbour gymnasium for women (left) was added with social rooms and an office for the new Dean of women, Dr. Eliza Mosher. Both gyms were demolished in 1977 and replaced by the Dow chemistry building in 1989.]]> admin photo Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:37:20 -0500 http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/rummel_300_large.gif.html http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/rummel_300_large.gif.html
By the end of James B. Angell's 38 year presidency, a row of impressive buildings lined state street. the law building (left) had been enlarged, and the original dome on University Hall replaced. The University museum, with its square tower, was designed by UM's first architecture Professor, William Lebaron Jenney, who later invented the steel frame skyscraper. On the corner is an early design for alumni memorial hall, built with a different facade in 1910. Only five of the many buildings added during Angell's tenure remained by 2000: Alumni Memorial Hall, Tappan Hall directly behind it, West Hall (top right), the Dana Building, and North Hall.]]> admin photo Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:37:20 -0500 http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/reading+room_300.png.html http://www.aadl.org/gallery/aastreets/site14b/reading+room_300.png.html

One of the four faculty houses built in 1840 became the president’s house when Henry P. Tappan arrived in 1852. It is the only surviving original campus building. the third floor and kitchen wing were added before 1871, when James B. Angell made indoor plumbing a requirement for accepting the presidency. the campus side included barns, an orchard, and a vegetable garden.]]> admin photo Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:37:20 -0500
