Pond & Pond with Martin & Lloyd, architects. The Michigan League opened on May 4, 1929. To eliminate confusion between the Women's League as an organization and the Michigan League building, the administration of the building and the student organization were combined under the title Michigan League in 1934-35. In 1992, the Michigan League became one of three University Unions. The Lydia Mendelssohn Theater is within the Michigan League.
On verso: "The magnificent fountain "Sunday Morning in Deep Waters", by Carl Milles stands before the Michigan League, designed for undergraduate women students as a center for their activities. Its facilities are available for the comfort of all university students, staff, alumni and their guests."
