“I have returned in very good health to Ann Arbor and am pursuing my last year’s course of studies. Undoubtedly the pleasantest part of my life is fast passing away, that is my college life. So if I may believe what all educated men say it is indeed the pleasantest part and if I could appeal to my own feelings I should also say the same.”
— An excerpt from a September 1846 letter written by U-M student John Newberry to his brother, from the Bentley Historical Library’s John S. Newberry collection, presented in “A Book of Days: 150 Years of Student Life at Michigan.”
