The article focuses on the educational history of the University of Michigania. It gives the strange terminology of the act of 1817 of the Territorial Legislature of Michigan creating the University of Michigania" or the "Catholepistemjad." The wording of the act was not due to any sudden whim of its author, for he bad been engaged for many years in building up a new system of nomenclature as the counterpart of a new system of classification of the sciences. Only a few months previously he had published the results of his labors in a work entitled "A System of Universal Science," with the alternative title, "Encatholepistemia."
