COSMOPOLITAN CLUJ3 DESIRES
NUJMBEB OF AlIERICAN ,MEIMBERS
President Robertson Seeks to Raise
T14otal Enrollment to Over
250
When the Cosmopolitan Club con-
venes for its initial meeting of the
year at the parish building of the
Unitarian church at 7:30 o'clock this
evening, it is the especial wish of the
officers of the club, according to Pres-
ident W. Robertson, of South Africa,
that there may be a considerable num-
ber of American students present to
help welcome the new foreign stu-
dents who will be there.
According to Mr. Robertson, it will
be an especial policy of the club this
year to strive to correct the errone-
ous impression that seems to be quite
prevalent, that the club is limited to
foreign students exclusively.
"Nothing could be farther from he
real purpose of the club," stated r -
ertson, "because it is the fundamnital
principle of the organization to afford
a medium through which the foreign-
ers may come into- touch with the
American students and with the men
of other countries, so that a real sym-
pathetic understanding may . result
when these men come into the posi-
tions of influence in their home coun-
tries."
The organization will this year
strive to raise its membership to 250,
so that it will really become an ef-
fective influence at Michigan for pr'o-
moting a real cosmopolitan spirit. j
After there has been a discussion of
the plans for the year, the meeting
tonight will be turned into a short
social gathering. Refreshments will
be served and a short program, in-
cluding several songs by F. W. Gro-
ver, of last year's opera, and several
selections by students from the school
of music will be given.

EX-MAYOR OF TOLEDO DIES
AFTER DISAPPEARAA 'C
(By the New York Sun Service.)
Detroit, Oct. 6.--Former Mayor of
Toledo Robert H. Finch, who has been
missing for five and one-half years,
died here at 2:45 o'clock this after-
noon. His two sons left Toledo for
this city this morning, but would not
give out Whether their father had died
in a hospital or in his home. It is
believed here that he went under an
assumed name.
It is not known whether he has teen
in Detroit'during all of his absence,
but his sons said that of late he had
been employed at the Ford plant. At
the time of Finch's disappearance in
1910, it was said that "there was a
woman in the case," a domestic in the
Finch household. Rumors of their
marriage were never confirmed.
C. P. Drury, '14, Succeeds Dr. Elliot
Charles P. Drury, '14M, formerly
resident physician at the University
hospital, has been appointed to the
staff of University Health Service phy-
sicians to succeed Dr. Joseph A. El-
liott. Dr. Elliott is now second as-
sistant to Dr. Udo J. Wile, of the Med-
ical college. Dr. Frank Senear, who
formerly served as second assistant
tn Dr. Wile, has now been made his

New York, Oct. 6.--A group of well-
known men have replied to the work-
ers in the recent suffrage campaign
and have submitted their reasons for
being in favor of an amendment to
the state constitution permitting
equal suffrage.
Among them are Thomas A. Edison,
George Harvey, William A. Hughes
and former Governor Franklin and
President Stevens, of Stevens Insti-
tute.
The reasons were in part that, in.
view of the principles of democracy,
it is unjust that one-half of the popu-
lation should be deprived of repre-
sentation in a government in which
they share one-half of the burden.
They further declared that in all jus-
tice and expediency women should be
allowed to vote.

(By the New York Sun Service.)
New York, Oct. 6.-Prof. W. J. Hus-
sey, director of the observatory of the
University of Michigan and for the
last two years at the University, Qf
La Plata, arrived here today from La
Plata on the. liner, Bestria. During
his stay at the Argentine institution,
he has been at work on measurements
and deteriinations of double star,
and has found that 300 stars wh
were formerly considered single, re
really of the double type.
He has also discovered three new
comets; one of which is distinguished
by the fact of its great distance from
the sun. He is now on his way home
to Ann Arbor.

Bride-to-Be
(By the New York Sun Service.)
Washington, D. C., Oct. 6.-Wash-
ington circles received a distinct sur-
prise today when President Woodrow
Wilson announced his engagement to
Norman Galt, a resident of the
r : : city.
fldmors of the engagement of the
chief executive have been current in
White House circles for only a short
time, and were unknown to the city
at large. Intimate friends of the
president think that the engagement
has been of short duration.
Mrs. Galt is the widow of Norman
Galt, formerly part owner of one of
Washington's large jewelry stores.
He has been dead eight years. Mrs.
Galt is now owner of the concern, and
it is operated for her by her two
brothers.
Mrs. Galt is a native of Virginia, the
home state of the president.
The president's former wife died
just before the outbreak of the pres-
ent European war in July, 1914.

PICK HENRY RUMMEL, '16L, TO
HEAD MEMBERS1lP CAMPAIGN
WILL PROBABLY INVITE ROBINS
FOR SOCIAL SERVICE WORK
After being advised that it would
be impossible to hold the regular Sun-
day evening Majestic meetings this
year because the theater is to house
a moving pictureshow, the Y. M. C. A.
cabinet at its meeting last night voted
to hold the meetings during the com-
ing year in Univ'ersity Hall.
Although no definite arrangements
have been made as yet, it is thought
that specialists in various profession-
al and industrial lines will be secured
to address the meetings so that the
individuality of the departmental units
may be maintained at the same time
that the entire campus is being
served.
While the committee in charge of
the meetings can make no definite
announcement at this time, it is hoped
to start the series of meetings about
the last Sunday in October.
Announcement was also made at
the meeting of the appointment of
Henry Rummel, '16L, as general
nan of a membership campaign
a the "Y" will put on the early
pari of next week. The membership

goal for this year has been set at'
2,000, and it is expected that a com-
mittee of 150 men will take .part in
the actual solicitation of the campus.
A bid will also. be made for the
presence of Raymond Robins to cqn-
duct a social service campaign on the
campus some time during March of
next year. At the Geneva conference
held last June, Robins made such an!
impression on the Michigan delegation
of 40 students, that the vote of the
cabinet at the meeting last night was
unanimous in favor of bringing him
to Michigan.
Miss Clara Dunn Confined to Hospital
Miss Clara Dunn, formerly librarian
in the rhetoric department of the uni-
versity, has been, taken ill and is now
confined to the University hospital.
Miss Dunn suffered a nervous break-
down after she had left An Arbor to
teach in an Illinois normal school.

Washington, Oct. 6.-No arrange-

Michigan's 1915-16 enrollment fig-
ures, including yesterday's registra-
tions, have reached a total of 5,737,
according to reports given out by the
officials in the different colleges. This
is a gain of 449 over the count of 5,274
for the same time last year, with the
bulk of the increase due to the big
gain made in the literary college fig-
ures.
With several days left in which to
enroll, registration figures for the
College of Literature, Science and the
Arts have already eclipsed the grand'
total for 1914-15. According to a
statement late yesterday afternoon,
there were approximately 2,850 per-
sons enrolled in the college, while last
year the final count was 2,718. This
means that 132 more persons have al-
ready enrolled this year than the total
number for 1914-15.
Figures for the College of Medicine
were 320, 15 more than the t'otal of
305 for the same time last year, while
the Dental college made its margin
over last year's count even larger
