This title showcases the founding, development, and growth of Wayne
State University, Michigan's third largest public university, in
historical photographs. ""Wayne State University"" traces its
earliest roots to the Civil War era and Detroit's Harper Hospital,
where its Medical College was founded in 1868. In 1917 a junior
college was formed in the building now called Old Main, and along
with four other schools - education, engineering, pharmacy, and a
graduate school - these units would come to be called Wayne State
University. In ""A History of Wayne State in Photographs"", Evelyn
Aschenbrenner traces the evolution of the university from those
early schools into a modern research university with an extensive
urban campus. Aschenbrenner surveys over 140 years' worth of
historical photos and archival material to give readers a complete
visual guide to Wayne State's development. She charts official
milestones of the university, including the organization of
colleges into a university in the 1930s, the drive for state
support in the 1950s, and the new buildings that were built as
academic programs expanded. Aschenbrenner also surveys campus life,
including disciplinary and curricular development, student life,
and the university's relations with its surrounding neighborhood,
which were strained by various urban renewal programs. A thoughtful
introduction by Charles K. Hyde, a foreword by Bill McGraw, a time
line of university events, and a list of university presidents
complete this informative and attractive volume. ""A History of
Wayne State University in Photographs"" compiles rare and
intriguing images that will be of interest to anyone with ties to
Wayne State University. It will make a perfect keepsake for current
and former students, faculty and staff, and anyone interested in
local history.
