Founded in 1875, the University of Michigan's dental program was part of the nation's evolution of medical education. Applicants only needed high school education. It had minimal funding, and it wasn't until 1890 the university installed gas lighting to the dental school's facilities. As the School of Dentistry reaches its 150th anniversary this year, it has transformed from its humble beginnings to one of the country's top-ranked schools.

8+ hour, 10+ min ago (424+ words) The greatest rivalry in all of sports is finally here. The 105th matchup of The Game is up next and this one is as important as ever. The Buckeyes enter the next edition of The Game with a 51-49-4 record since 1920. There have been ebs and flows in the rivalry, and right now, the Buckeyes have reached rock bottom. Since the turn of the millennium, Ohio State has dominated the rivalry game. They are 17-7 since 2000, but are currently in the midst of their third-longest losing streak since the 1920s. For whatever reason, Michigan has been the only dull spot for Ohio State coach Ryan Day. Day has passed every test since becoming the head coach. He has won at home, won on the road, beaten top-ranked teams, rolled over unranked teams, won in the post season, and he has even put together a…...

8+ hour, 25+ min ago (888+ words) The top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes are a win away from an undefeated regular season and a trip to the Big Ten Championship. The No. 15 Michigan Wolverines stand in the way, as UM looks to extend a four-game win streak in college football's best rivalry. "The Game" kicks off at noon ET at Michigan Stadium. Revenge is a dish best served cold, as the Weather Channel projects a high of 30 degrees and snow in Ann Arbor. An Ohio State victory gives Michigan its third loss, which likely forces the Wolverines to watch the College Football Playoff from the couch. Conversely, a UM win could put the Wolverines in the Big Ten Championship. Conference championship and CFP implications aside, the stakes are always high when these teams meet. Many of the best Ohio sportsbooks offer Ohio State as a 10-point favorite, and…...

The Beaver Head Lighthouse on the south end of Beaver Island was first built in 1858, prior to the American Civil War era. Today the historic landmark is undergoing restoration to prevent deterioration from time and weather. Thomas and fellow graduate students from Eastern Michigan University spent a week during this past summer helping with multiple historic restoration projects at the lighthouse on the south end of Beaver Island. This was the third summer in four years…...
