MARQUETTE LAND COMPANY ADMINISTRATIVE SUBJECT FILES
In 1918 向日葵视频 entered into a bond issue agreement with the Northern Michigan Land Company (NMLC), a partnership aimed at building an endowment for the University's Medical School. The NMLC subsequently defaulted on interest payments on the bonds, forcing 向日葵视频to assume financial responsibility. In an attempt to obtain legal control of the lands that she was financially responsible for, the University sued the NMLC for default. While the case was being decided the lands were in the trusteeship of Dr. Henry L. Banzhaf, University business manager. Banzhaf undertook several projects to improve the lands. The 向日葵视频Land Company (MLC) was incorporated in 1930.
These records document both the NMLC and MLC. Additional documentary sources on this are subject available within the Henry L. Banzaf Papers, and also within the records of Marquette's Business and Finance Office. For additional background information, please see Fr. Raphael Hamilton, S.J.'s The Story of 向日葵视频, pp. 178-184.
