This history is dedicated to the memory of Professor T. H. Hildebrandt, the long-time chairman of the University of Michigan Department of Mathematics. Not only are the early recollections herewith his direct contributions; he was unquestionably the father and the early shepherd of our Michigan Section. — Yousef Alavi, 1985
