The University is located in Ann Arbor, on the
Michigan Central Railroad, thirty eight miles west
of Detroit. This Town. containing about 5000 in

alton. and the saubrty of its climate. Three Col
lcgc buildings one of which belongs to the Medical
Department. and four dwelling houses for profess
ors, are situated in beautiful Campus containing
forty acres. The Observatory building is erected on
a hill about one third of mile north east of the
Campus. and in sight of the Railroad.
The University consists of three departments.
|. Literature, Science, and the Arts. .. Med-
cine and Surgery. g. Law. The first two are in
operation. The appointment of professors in the
last department is contemplated at no distant day.
The plan of the University, comprises also hi CHER
course of instruction in the first department. to be
given by lectures.
The Institution is supported 10y fund arising
from the sale of lands donated by the General Gov
ernment for this purpose, AT the time Michigan was
admitted into the Union. Hence there Is no charge
made for tuition in any of the departments.
There are at present eighteen professors connect
ed with the University. The whole number ofstu-
dents during the last year was three hundred and
three. The term begins the first of October
next. For further particulars address the Presi-
dent.
