By far the greater portion of the publications of the Medical Faculty
take the form of monographs, articles, and reports in the various
monographic series and medical publications--Dr. Vaughan lists 73 such
items in the years between 1909 and 1918. In the Law School several
books on different subjects have been issued by members of the present
Faculty including Professors R.W. Aigler, Evans Holbrook, E.N. Durfee,
E.C. Goddard, and E.R. Sunderland. Particularly to be noted is "The
History of Contract in Early English Equity," (1914), by the late
Professor Willard T. Barbour.
Most of the books issued by the members of the Engineering Faculty have
been primarily textbooks, though many of them have been based upon
extended investigations in the subjects presented. Two volumes by
Professor Fiske Kimball, formerly of the Department of Architecture,
"Thomas Jefferson, Architect," (1916), and a "History of Architecture,"
(1917), are especially noteworthy, however.
Some of the results of the scientific investigations made by members of
the Faculties are published in the form of reports issued by the
Government or State, or by various scientific bodies. Thus we have
several volumes of reports issued by Professor E.C. Case on the results
of his work in the fossil beds of the Southwest, under the auspices of
the Carnegie Institution; several statistical reports, the work of
Professor James W. Glover, including "Highway Bonds," U.S. Department of
Agriculture, 1915, and "U.S. Life Tables," (1910) (1916), issued by the
Department of Agriculture; a "Biological Survey of the Sand Dune Region
of Saginaw Bay," by Professor Alexander Ruthven, (1910), issued by the
Michigan Geological and Biological Survey, and a number of extended
reports on the valuation of public service corporations, by Dean M.E.
Cooley and Professor H.E. Riggs, in the Transactions of the American
Societies of Civil Engineers, and various other bodies.
As has been suggested a great portion of the scientific investigations
of the members of the Faculty of the University is reported in the form
of monographs and briefer articles in various journals and special
publications, and for this reason the names of many men of national and
even international repute do not appear in the lists of those who have
published books. Many of their publications also have taken the form of
textbooks, some of them exceedingly important, but the list is so long
that it would be impossible to do justice to all in a short survey.
