<p>For example, Lawrence Klein (Economics) started his career at Michigan in the 1940s and early 50s and developed most of his models that won him the nobel prize in Ann Arbor. He was denied tenure at Michigan and had to leave the US to the UK during the McCarthy years (in the mid 50s), and when he returned to the US in the late 50s, he join the Penn faculty, where he remained until he won the Nobel Prize in the 1970s. </p>
<p>Joseph Drodsky (Literature) also taught at Michigan when he first moved to the US in the 1970s, and he won the Nobel in the 80s. </p>
<p>Donald Glaser (Physics) taught at Michigan in the 1950s, where like Klein, he did most of the work that won him the Nobel Prize in 1960. </p>
<p>Charles Huggins (Medicine) was an instructor of surgery at Michigan in the mid 1920s and won the prize in the 1960s.</p>
