Institution, John M. Schaeberle, '76_e_, Astronomer in the Lick
Observatory from 1888 to 1897, and George Cary Comstock, '77, Director
of the Observatory of the University of Wisconsin.

Edward Olney, whose spirit still lives in the memory of older graduates,
also came at this time. He was, unlike most other members of the
Faculty, for the most part a self-made scholar of whose ability as a
teacher one former student rather ruefully remarked that the "students
knew something about mathematics when they got through with him." He was
always a prominent figure in the shaping of University policies and to
him no small measure of credit is given for the diploma system of
admission from the high schools in '71 and the elective system of '78.

The year 1867 brought the appointment to professorships of two men,
already mentioned, whose reputation eventually became nationwide. The
first was Charles Kendall Adams, who afterward became President of
Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin. He was graduated
from the University with the class of '61, and after some years as
instructor and Assistant Professor followed Andrew D. White in the chair
of history. The other was Moses Coit Tyler, Yale, '57, Professor of
Rhetoric and English Literature, whose "History of American Literature,"
published before he left Michigan in 1881, to go to Cornell, as well as
many later works, gave him an established place as an authority in this
field.

Professor Boise resigned the chair of Greek in 1868 to accept a similar
place at the University of Chicago. It is said that his reason for the
change was, in part at least, his desire to give his daughter, Alice
Boise, an opportunity to matriculate in an institution where women were
enrolled. While living in Ann Arbor she had already attended
unofficially at least two classes, and was probably the first woman to
recite in the University. Professor Boise was succeeded by Professor
Martin L. D'Ooge, '62, whose fine enthusiasm for the best in classical
culture and his genius for friendship were long with the University. For
several years before his death in 1915, Professor D'Ooge was, with Dr.
Angell, one of the few links which tied the present Faculty to the era
of those earlier leaders.

But the names of all the hundreds of members of the Faculties, who came
in ever-increasing numbers after this period, cannot all be mentioned,
