==Early life ==
Robert Peter Briggs was born on April 3, 1903 in Monroe, Michigan to parents Robert Douglas Briggs and Rose Pierce Briggs.〔Biography of Robert Peter Briggs. 5 Aug. 1982. Box 1, Robert Peter Briggs, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan.〕 His father was a superintendent of the Monroe, Michigan schools.〔 Starting in 1908, Robert attended (Lansing Public Schools ), and proceeded to work for the Lansing State Journal from 1911-1917 as a mail carrier.〔 After graduating from Lansing public schools, Robert Briggs enrolled as a student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts,〔 where he also worked a number of jobs in order to pay food, housing, and tuition fees.〔"Robert Briggs." Interview by Enid H. Galler. n.d.: n. pag. Print. Box 1, Robert Peter Briggs, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan.〕 He elected to attend the University of Michigan as opposed to the nearby Michigan State University because his eventual wife, Maxine Eloise Corliss, was attending Michigan State and thus he thought it would be a good idea if they attended different schools.〔 Briggs struggled in his first semester at the University of Michigan, and was not allowed to return for the winter semester in 1921.〔 He was allowed to re-enroll later in the University on academic probation.〔Effinger, John R. Letter to Mr. Robert P. Briggs. 21 Sept. 1921. MS. N.p. Box 1, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan.〕 He has described his academic struggles during his first year as being, “a good learning experience,”〔 and would eventually work his way up to A’s by graduation, enabling to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan’s college of Literature, Science, and the Arts in 1925.〔
