Old Main South Elevation (reconstruction) This south elevation by Rorison was likely the other elevation drawing of Old Main included in the MSNS exhibit. This elevation shows the original 1852 section (rebuilt after a fire in 1860), the front addition (1878), the rear addition (1882), and the south wing (1888). The exhibit also included four floor plans of Old Main, but we have not been able to identify them. Digitally repaired image.
-
Old Main North Elevation (Reconstruction) This north elevation of the Old Main building drawn by Ypsilanti architect E. P. Rorison was part of the Michigan State Normal School exhibit at the 1893 World’s Fair. The label in the bottom right corner reading “Michigan Public Schools 946” confirms that this drawing from the University Archives is the actual document exhibited in Chicago. This elevation depicts Old Main’s original 1852 section (rebuilt after a fire in 1860), the front addition (1878), the rear addition (1882), and the north wing (1888). The College’s original building, Old Main stood where the Boone / Ford / Pierce Quadrangle is today. Digitally repaired image.

Table II - MSNS enrollment records 1854-1893 We have not been able to locate the four statistical charts Included in the exhibit, but fortunately Principal Sill reproduced one of these charts in his 1893 report to the State Board of Education. This chart from Sill’s report, “prepared for the Columbian Exposition with laborious care by Professor Austin George,” shows attendance and number of graduates from 1854 to 1893. This chart demonstrates the tremendous growth in attendance and number of graduates during Sill’s administration (1886-1893).
