Wolverine Trivia

Famous Alumnus
Former President Gerald R. Ford, the 38th president of the United States, is the only University of Michigan alumnus to have held this country's highest office. From 1931 to 1935 Ford attended U-M, where he majored in economics and political science. He graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in June 1935. A gifted athlete, Ford played on the University's national championship football teams in 1932 and 1933. He was voted the Wolverine's most valuable player in 1934, and on January 1, 1935, he played in the annual East-West College All-Star game in San Francisco.

The Wave Field
The University of Michigan has a unique and artistic piece of landscape on its North Campus. "The Wave Field" is a grassy sculpture near the FXB building. The sculpture occupies a 90-foot square space and represents a naturally occurring wave pattern. Designed by Maya Lin, the sculpture was created in memory of Francois-Xavier Bagnoud, '82, and was a gift from his mother, Countess Albina du Boisrouvray.

Michigan Marching Band

The all-male University of Michigan Band made its first appearance on the football field in 1898, and the band's performances quickly became a Michigan football tradition. In 1972, a new Michigan tradition began: women were admitted into the Marching Band. The number of women band members has continued to grow, and today, nearly half of the members of the Marching Band are women.

The Cube
There are 101 outdoor sculptures and architectural features on the Ann Arbor campuses. One well-known landmark is "The Cube" located in Regents Plaza. Although massive, it will rotate on its axis, given a gentle push. This piece of art was a gift from the Class of 1965.

The Victors
Michigan's famous fight song, "The Victors," was written by Louis Elbel in 1898 to commemorate one of the Wolverines' greatest football victories. On a cold November day, U-M headed to Illinois to play the University of Chicago. The Wolverines had a 9-0 record, but they had lost to Chicago in its two previous seasons. The game was strenuous and rough, but Michigan beat Chicago 12-11. The crowd erupted with joy and everyone marched in the streets to celebrate. Inspired by the team's great win, Elbel walked to his sister's house not far from the football field and began to write down the notes. Before the weekend was over, he completed the entire song, and it has endured as one of the most notable fight songs in history.

The Rock

The painted rock at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street has become a landmark for students, alumni and visitors on the University's central campus.

This huge chunk of Canadian limestone, deposited by glaciers in a gravel pit on Pontiac Trail, was moved to Ann Arbor by Eli Gallup in 1932 to become a memorial honoring George Washington on his 200th birthday. Buried in the foundation of the rock is a box containing its history and origin.

Originally, the rock was painted grey and had a copper plaque and tribute to President Washington. Since that time, "The Rock" has been painted several times each year.

Apollo 15 Crew

Did you know that all three of the Apollo 15 space crew are alumni of the University of Michigan? The crew flew to the moon from July 26-August 7, 1971 with astronauts:

• David Scott, '49-'50
• Alfred Worden, MSE'63
• James Irwin, MSE'57

Apollo 15 was the first expedition with a lunar rover vehicle (used by Scott and Irwin who went to the surface of the moon) and the first flight in which all three astronauts were from the same university. They carried three U-M items: a miniature U-M flag, a miniature of the U-M Department of Aerospace Engineering seal and a charter of the U-M Alumni Club of the Moon, which was left on the moon.
