The Michigan Alumnus 493
The expression "once a Michigan man always a Michigan man" seems to apply to the Faculty as well as to the graduates. Professor William Caldwell Titcomb, was graduated from Harvard in 1904, and received his S. B. from the Lawrence Scientific School (which includes the graduate School of Architecture of Harvard) in 1908.
He was instruc tor in Architecture at Michigan from 1909 to 1914 and now has been called back to be Professor Tit comb. In the interval while he existed away from Michigan, Professor Titcomb taught at the Univer sity of Illinois and during the war went to France with the Quaker Reconstruction Unit.
After the Armistice Professor Titcomb served in the Vocation al School at Bellevue, France, where he taught architecture to the interested soldiers of the Amer ican Expeditionary Forces.
