SUMMARY:The Origins of the Law Quadrangle: A Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:This walking tour meets at the corner of S. University Ave. and State St.\, on the outer northwest corner of the Law Quad. \nHave you ever wondered about the history of the buildings that sit in the middle of campus that many associate with the Renaissance\, east coast Ivy Leagues\, or even Hogwarts? \nThis walking tour seeks to familiarize you not only with the illustrious\, imposing architecture of the Law Quadrangle here at the University of Michigan but also with the historic presence of the Law School itself. Over the course of 1.5 hours\, we will discuss the conception of the buildings themselves\, the winding roads it took to get there\, and the Law School’s many years of influence on social issues and legal education as we stroll through the Quad. Join us as we uncover stories and debunk myths about the distinctive University of Michigan Law Quadrangle.

SUMMARY:Admissions Quotas and President C.C. Little: Jewish Inclusion and Exclusion at UM in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:When new University of Michigan president C.C. Little arrived in Ann Arbor in 1925\, American universities were in the midst of a great transition\, revamping their admission systems to limit the number of Jewish students on their campuses. Professor Karla Goldman will discuss the status of Jewish students at Michigan during this period and how President Little\, well known as a eugenicist\, actually resisted some of the racist and antisemitic assumptions of his time. His tenure illustrates the long and complicated history of inclusion and exclusion at U-M and in American higher education. \nKarla Goldman is the Sol Drachler Professor of Social Work and Professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan where she also directs the Jewish Communal Leadership Program. Her research focuses on the history of American Jewish experience with special attention to history of varied Jewish communities and the evolving roles and identities of American Jewish women. She previously taught at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati and served as historian in residence at the Jewish Women’s Archive in Boston. She is the author of Beyond the Synagogue Gallery: Finding a Place for Women in American Judaism (Harvard University Press\, 2000). \nIn person registration can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline registration can be found here.
