I am particularly proud of Michigans stature as an international university. and for its tradition of enrolling students from countries throughout the world. Michigan today has one of the largest international enrollments among American universities. This international standing dates back to the universitys early days. In 1880. James B. Angell. then president of the university. was sent by the American Government to head a delegation to China to negotiate an agreement regarding emigration of Chinese laborers. As a result of friendships which he formed in China. students in that nation began to come to the University of Michigan. Students from China. from Asia. and from all other parts of the world. have been coming to Michigan. ever since that time.
