[quote=Anonymous]Even when things went wrong for the country, they went right for the state. During Prohibition, amazing amounts of alcoholic beverages came into Michigan from Canada. During WWII, Detroit converted its enormous automotive facilities & expertise into making tanks, military aircraft & other equipment. The government needed stuff fast & fortunes were made by those meeting the demand. Know-how, & money smowballed, & many were happy to help the university thrive. Also, when the top universities in the East were changing to holistic admissions policies to limit the number of Jews, many found their way to Ann Arbor. [/quote]
