Harry Burns Hutchins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harry Burns Hutchins was president of the University of Michigan (1909-1920). He was initially named interim president for one year to succeed James Burrill Angell, but his term was later extended after several other candidates, including Woodrow Wilson, were offered the presidency and declined.

Hutchins served as the dean of the university's Law Department from 1895 to 1910. Hutchins Hall, the main classroom and administrative building of the law school, is named after him.
