marked the dinner of the Detroit
supporters of the university, Tues-

More than 900 people attended
the dinner, setting a record for at-

In a ceremony in which Dr.
Joseph H. Lookstein, acting presi-
dent of the university; Max M.
Fisher, Mrs. Max Stollman and
Irwin Cohn participated, Governor

with an honorary fellowship in

automotive industry for public

headed the Detroit public school
