so this was the first step in a very public commitment to taking the university of michigan in the direction of becoming a research university, scientific research. but it was also a very savvy public relations move on tappen's part because it's saying loud and clear, we have a commitment to scientific research at the university of michigan. we're willing to build this building, put some of the best instruments in the world at the time, the best scientific research instruments at the disposal of faculty and students. and it's then publicized because the image of this building was engraved on letterhead. it was put on catalogs. students talked, oh, my god, i can't believe you're going to dartmouth. dartmouth doesn't have an observatory. michigan has an observatory. so it was a way of attracting the attention of future students, and indeed the enrollment just skyrocketed. when henry phillip tappen proposed this building, he was approached by some folks in detroit who were willing to help him do the fund-raising. and they literally raised money by subscription. people would pledge $50 or $100.

>> we want the state to be a partner with the university. ould like sacramento to adopt the governor's budget, which requests or would request another 5% for the university and treat the university with respect to pension the same way it treats the state university and colleges. >> that would help you out to the tune of how much? any idea, a lot? >> it would be quite helpful. we'll fight for the tuition freeze not just for this year but i want to look at tuition policy overall and our cost structure overall. so we can really look long-term not only at an amount but the volatility. >> the state commitment to the budget of uc is about 10% right now and it's been dropping, not just because of the economy and budget cuts but there seems to be a shifting priority away from the university. that's my interpretation. do you see it that way? how concerned are you? >> as i said earlier, i think the state needs to be a partner, recognizing that, you know, california thrives on the fact that it has all this intellectual and creative firepower here. it's

(laughter) >> of course you're at the center of the universe. person who tells the story is the center of the universe always. but you need to place yourself in that large map and if you can place yourself in that map that gives you a sense of meaning, of where you are, of how you came to be and what things you can do. what possibilities are available to you. >> stephen: we already have this kind of map that tells us our place and purpose in the universe. it's called the bible. (laughter) have you read it? have you read the bible? (applause) >> i have read it. >> stephen: nothing in this series will contradict what i believe, correct? >> well -- (laughter). there are many origin stories and the bible is one. >> stephen: it's the true one. >> many, many countries and different societies have their own origin stories and modern sciencist contains an origin story. so what we're telling is the or gin story present in modern science. >> one of the things that confuses me about the show is it connects widely disparate things. like -- give an example of

he never mentioned the university of michigan. until the end of the speech he made some sort of reference to young people. young people will be involved in this. and would you be willing to help me do these things. sort of like kennedy did with the peace corps speech. but he never said would you here in ann arbor. and he once mentioned michigan just as an example of when he was talking about education. i read over the speech. and so he was more being a statesman for the whole country. he wasn't at all partisan either in the speech. he was trying to be a statesman. i think it's interesting that both these major events that are major national -- part of our national history of when you say a major part of their program and what they did that they happened here. and i don't think it was an accident. although in some -- you can say it could have been somewhere else. but michigan -- the university of michigan is certainly known for idealistic young people who care about the world. it's got a tradition of always being, you know, having l

it's precisely the role of the university and colonialism that explains the early prisons of native americans on campuses and that role that explains how universities turn to the slave trade to fund their enterprise. >> host: when you say the conquest, from what i was reading part of the conquest was this thing of these are savages. these are people that are inferior and we have to educate them or train them or somehow make them on savage like and i'm speaking in reference to the native americans. >> guest: that belief was that that -- the belief was that the goal, the application was to bring in gospel, to bring the bible to untutored peoples and to civilize them in that way. but in fact that's civilizing project went hand-in-hand with conquest and hand-in-hand with torit torrealba expansion in one of the things that was surprising to me as i started the book was really the quiet -- roll the colleges played in early colonial period area, great beneficiary of the american college. the american colleges and universities helps take me as a kid with a single mother raising three kids all by your

it is a great pleasure to be here today. >> we are in the university of michigan stadium. this is where president johnson announced the great society program which was his major plan for improving the countory. he gave it at the 1964 commencement it was may 22nd, six months after kennedy was shot. johnson had just been in office, for six months, and he would be running for election. and this was seen by him and his staff as a good time to roll out this program that was going to be his touchstop stone of what wanted to do with his presidency. it was a big audience, they had school kids from all over the state and the whole place was filled. >> your imagination and your initiative and inner indignation will determine where we build a great society where progress is the result of our needs. for in your time, we have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society, and the powerful society, but upward to the great society. >> the great society was a whole amalgum of all of the programs that johnson was thinking would be a good idea. he came from a poor background and t

researchers at the japan arrow space agency and stanford university studied this. they used a satellite e e e e ea a researcher says the study revealed some interesting results. >> i think the most important point is that metals were distributed very evenly throughout the universe at very early stages of the life of the universe. >> the scientists argue the iron distribution could not be so even if the elements were formed after the clusters' birth. they conclude that iron must have already been widely disbursed in the universe when the clusters began to form around 10 billion years ago. the scientists think the research can offer important data to study the early stages of the universe. >>> japanese researchers say they have found a substance that couldish be used to treat diabetes. will and obesity related disease. a professor and his team at the university of tokyo identified the substance from among more than 6 million different compounds. the substance named adiporon serves a similar function to a hormone which lowers blood sugar levels and burns fat in the bod

and this really changed the way we see our universe. that is why this manuscript which is the topic of his thinking is so important. >> book tv took a trip to ann arbor michigan to explore the literary set to the city with the help of our local cable partner comcast. during our visit we met a curator of manuscripts at the university of michigan's william help on the fly very his best early accounts of the american. >> at the university of michigan , a special collections repository cares for, collection, and preserves primary source materials related to the history of early american today we are talking about a few of the manuscript is, bucks from the original donation, again, 1923, to represent the book division of the library selected this rather unassuming volume written in latin and printed in 1493 and rome. it is a printed version of columbus's letter to the king and queen in which he describes his discovery of the new world. this is the first printed account of what later becomes the americas, the cornerstone of any collection of e

at the university of california los angeles is very very similar. there are not too many black faces and we often feel isolated. do you feel that that lack of diversity is the root cause? that is certainly something that you bring up, the facts and figures in that video. >> yeah the lack of diversity is something that contributes to it. when you look at a lecture hall of 200 people, and there -- and you are the only one that looks like you, it becomes very difficult to function, because often times you get looks people assume certain things about your character, or where you are from, and there's a lot of societal pressure. so tyrell at your school, the number of black and hispanic students has dropped by a third from 2003, but as we heard it was pointed out at the ucla video, the pamphlets they are always this picture of diversity, looks like a bennieton add. >> absolutely is not the reality. yes, from 2006 to 2012, the black male -- or the black population at the university of michigan dropped almost 30%, and so -- yeah, that's where we are getting

he was not worried about being here in the university of michigan in ann arbor, that was the vehicle. he never mentioned the university of michigan, toward the end of the speech, he made a reference to young people, young people would be involved in this and would you be willing to help me with these things. sort of like kennedy with the peace corp speech. but he never said, will you here in ann arbor. so he was being a statesman in the speech. i think it's interesting that both the major events that are part of our national history of where you will say, both of those presidents were a major part of their program and what they did, that they happened here. and i don't think it was an accident. you could say, it could have been somewhere else. yur university of michigan is known for idealistic young people that care about the world. it has a tradition of always being, you know, having lots of discussions on world issues is and having opinions and i think in both cases the presidents johnson and kennedy knew they would get a good response. throughout the weekend, american history tv is

that leads to the founding of the university and some of the early funds for brown university. >> it nteresting that ruth simmons, the former president of brown, great granddaughter of slaves, first african-american president of any ivy league university, -- and i want to bring craig steven wilder back into the conversation -- commissioned the first ivy league study of her university's connection to slavery. professor wilder. >> this is a critical moment in american history. throughout the process of talking about the book, one of the things that we can't send a return to is her decision in 2003 to commission a study of brown's malaysia to the slave trade. this happened for a number of reasons. yale ons a blowup at its 300th anniversary about their relationship to the slave trade, which became controversial. that also helped to spark rumors about other institutions and the public secret of brown's relationship became even more lively when she became president, when the first nonwhite president of an ivy league institution took office. it took tremendous courage to make that about thei

the university of michigan holds 30 of the leaves. the library in dublin, ireland, holds 56 of the lease. so 86 of the 104 still exists. the reason they can estimate how many leaves there were to begin with is because each leaf has a page number at the top and these are created by folding them together. it would be like having stacks of 52 pieces of papyri and folding them and creating a book out of it. and so because they know some of the leaves were still attached to each other along the folds, and so they know the numbering of one in one part of the book in one any other part of the book and found that they could estimate how far from the beginning the person was so they knew how far from the and the bottom one was. p. 46 contains most of paul's letters to the early churches. so it's part of the new testament is part of the new testament that is documentary in a way because it's not telling the story of jesus life, but it is factual correspondence from paul to these early churches. it's the earliest known copy. there's no sensation

and so we find out in the universe as we understand it in the 20th century, you can't do that. at least with material particles there is a speed limit, the speed of light. so you get that down. one of the important parts of relativity is this. before we understood relativity, we understood that the human race, no matter how sophisticated they became couldn't travel very far in space. and the reason is simple enough. the center of our galaxy for example is 20,000 light years away. it takes 20,000 years for light itself to go from the center of our galaxy to us. and our galaxy is nothing compared to the expanse of the whole universe. so how are you gonna be going through the universe when you can't even get to your galaxy, it's not gonna take you 20,000 years. if you're traveling at high, high speed, you might get there in 5 minutes. and if you travel at the speed of light, how far away would it be from a speed of light frame of reference. what's the distance between things. i remember leon russell used to sing that song, "i love you in a place where there's no space and time. i
