The late Professor Jacob Price of Ann Arbor was passionate about the University of Michigan, his students and history.
A distinguished faculty member for 35 years, Price saw teaching history as his gift to students. Decades after retiring, he found another way to give students and scholars the gift of education by including the Rackham Graduate School and William L. Clements Library in his will, further cementing his legacy at U-M.
His passion for higher education and those he taught fueled an endowed gift of nearly $2.9 million, establishing the Jacob M. Price Fellowships in the Rackham Graduate School, and providing a $50,000 gift to the Clements Library, expanding support for the Jacob M. Price Visiting Research Fellowships that were previously established in his honor.
