Book Description

Excerpt from A Discourse Gentlemen of the Board of Regents: You have appointed me to a station of dignity and responsibility. I acknowledge the trust you have reposed in me: I am sensible of the distinction you have conferred. It is the more honorable to both parties, in that, on my part, it was unsought for; and on your part, was a free and deliberate determination. We have come together to-day to recognise each other in our new relation. You have publicly sealed my appointment, and inducted me into office as the Chancellor of the University of Michigan; and I acknowledge you as that "Body Corporate" which, having "the general supervision of the University," must henceforth, while I retain this office, exercise over me, likewise, the supervision designed by the Constitution of the State. The career of the Young State of Michigan has, thus far, been remarkable and distinguished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
