The following communication was received and placed
on file:
PRESIDENT H. B. HUTCHINS,
ANN ARBOR, MICH.
DEAR SIR:As the Seventh and Eighth Divisions of the Michigan
Naval Militia leave Ann Arbor for further training prior to
service afloat, we wish to express to you the sincere appreciation of the officers and men for the assistance and encouragement so freely given them by you and by the Regents, the Faculty, and other members of the University.
This support largely contributed to the organization of the
Divisions and has been of inestimable value in their training and development. We hope and believe that the confidence which it implies has not been misplaced.
Among those to whom we are under obligations we desire to acknowledge especial indebtedness to Dr. G. A. May,
Director of the Waterman Gymnasium, whose constant cooperation and assistance has been invaluable to us; to the
College of Dental Surgery for the examination and treatment of the men of both divisions; to the Faculty of the
Engineering College for the daily instruction of the members of the Engineering Division; and to the University
Health Service for many courtesies. May we not express
our thanks for their efforts in our behalf.
Very truly yours,
0. M. McNEIr,
J. R. HAYDEN
Commanding Officers, 7th & 8th Divisions
Ann Arbor, Mich., May 23, 1917
On motion of Regent Gore, the Board referred to the
Regent's Committee on Military Affairs correspondence from
Professor Clarence T. Johnston with respect to securing an
army officer, presumably a Canadian, who had seen service
on the Western front in the European war, to give military
instruction at Camp Davis the coming summer.
