Special Projects and Topics, 1909-2001
The Alumni Association records (boxes 126-130; and 168) also include material on several Special Projects and Subjects. These records remain unprocessed but nonetheless contain a wealth of information on several significant projects and issues such as the planning and construction of Alumni Memorial Hall, Michigan Union, and the Michigan League. Four unprocessed boxes of Michigan League Building Fund Campaign Files from 1921 to 1926 are located in boxes 105-108. Material in boxes 126-129 includes background on the plans for a memorial to President Marion L. Burton ultimately resulting in construction of a carillon. Some of the other subjects include information on the Williams Professorship Fund used to support retired professors, the Michigan Alumnus, celebration of the 75th anniversary of the University of Michigan in 1912, opposition to the name change of Michigan State University from Michigan Agricultural College, alumni and scholarship funds, and faculty awards. Interspersed among these records are financial records of the Alumni Association. Material on the "Committee of One Hundred" in Box 104 relates to an effort to organize alumni to protest proposed cuts to university funding in 1933.
