"Some Homely Ideals of Education"
has been chosen as the subject.of the
address which will be given by Dean
Mortimer E. Cooley, of the college of
engineering, before the third convoca-
tion assemblage in the Hill auditorium
at 3:00 o'clock this afternoon.
Dispensing with the usual lengthy
exercises of past years, Michigan's
annual convocation in Hill auditorium
is scheduled to take less than an
hour's time. Unison singing is. to be
a feature of the program, and Presi-
dent Harry B. Hutchins yesterday
made a requet that the student body
and faculty join in heartily.
Every student in the university will
be enabled to attend the exercises, as
all classe~s will be dismissed at 3:00
o'clock. Immediately afterward the
Sasses will form, according to years,
before marching in a body into the big
hall.
Dean Cooley's address will not last
more than 30 minutes, and the only
other speaker on the program will be
President Hutchins, whose talk will
probably be confined mostly to a few
words of welcome to the first year
students.
Two musical numbers will be of-
fered by Earl Moore, '12, on the organ,
while the unison singing of "Ann Ar-
bor, 'Tie of Thee" and "The Yellow
and Blue" will comprise the vocal
program.

The Honorable George Haven Put-
nam, famous publisher, writer and
Civil War veteran, will speak under
the auspices of the University Histor-
ical association on Thursday, October
21, in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. Mr.
Putnam is the best known of all Amer-
ican publishers, having earned this
recognition by his constant writing
and leadership in important cultural
movements in this and other coun-
tries.
It has been said that Mr. Putnam
has done. more to strengthen the re-
lations between England and America
than any other living man, and he is
often called the ambassador of the
American public to England. His
close associations with the publishers
of England have brought him in touch
with the world of English letters. He
has discussed problems with Lord
Kitchener and is an intimate friend of
the Honorable George Trevelyan, the
noted historian, who delivered a lec-
ture in Ann Arbor last year.
As an author, he is constantly at
work, and his recent book on the
"Memories of a Publisher" illustrates
his keen appreciation of the accom-
plishments of others. In addition to
this, his volume on the "Memories of
My Youth" is rated as one of the best
f nmdern productions.

Glass Doors of Main Entrtnce
Large Window Smashed by
Crowd
and
In a sophomore class rush on the
Majestic theater last night just be-
fore the second show, Clarence B.
Worth, '14E, C. M. Carouthers, '18,
and Harold F. Shank, '18, were ar-
rested by the police and arraigned on
a charge of disorderly conduct. The
men were later released on bail of
$50 each, and were remanded for ex-
amination at the police court at 9:30
o'clock this morning.
About 200 men were in the crowd
which gathered about the theater be-
fore the close of the first perform-
ance, and when Manager Frank J.
O'Donnell of the Majestic refused to
grant the men a free show they im-
mediately rushed the theater. A num-
her of policemen and several rein-
forcements from the sheriff's office
endeavored to quiet the crowd, and in
the melee which ensued Worth, who
is an employee of a Detroit automo-
bile firm, and who held a ticket for
the second performance, was appre-
hended by the police for attempting
to force his way in.
This so incensed the crowd that,
despite the efforts of W. A. P. John,'16,
who endeavored to disperse the as-
semblage, the glass doors of the main
entrance were smashed and one of
the l= '~Y v ;dows and a large are
light in the front of the building were
broken.
The damage is estimated at $25.
According to T. P. Soddy, '16E, pres-
ident of the student council, a special
meeting of that body will be called
for this evening at 7:15 o'clock in
the north wing of University hall for
the purpose of investigating the riot
and to take measures for the punish-
ment of the participants.

Charles Moore, one of the most emi-
nent historical authorities in this
state, and secretary of the State His-
torical commission, spoke interestingly
and thoughtfully before the Michigan
Library association in Memorial hall
last evening on the subject, "Michigan
Worthies Worth Knowing." Probably
the largest audience of the conven-
tion greeted Mr. Moore.
The speaker made a rapid but in-
tensive survey of the worthies of'
Michigan history, beginning in the
distant past with the dim figures of
men like Father Marquette and car-
rying the study up through the lists
of famous citizens of the state to the
latest times.
The first half hour of this morning's
conference at 9:00 o'clock will be de-
voted to a business session at which.
the main topic of discussion will be
the question of the relation of the uni-
versity to the, state. At 9:30 o'clock
Mr. M. W. Bishop, university librarian,
will preside at the final meeting of
the conference, in which the exten-
sion work of the university will re-
ceive special consideration.
Prof. W. D. Henderson will deliver
an address on the subject of "The
University Extension Service." Dr. F.
G. Novy will speak on "The College
of Medicine," and Prof. J. S. Reeves
will tell of the work being accom-
plished by the bureau of municipal re-
search. The "College of Engineering"
will be the topic taken by Prof. H. E.
Riggs, and Prof. A. G. Ruthven will
speak on "The Museum."
Those delegates who are able to re-
main over for this afternoon will be
guests of the Civic association in a
special automobile tour of the city.
The cars will leave Alumni Memorial
hall at 2:00 o'clock and will return
in time for the university convocation
parade.

college of literature and the arts at
Toledo university, according to an an-
nouncement made public here today.

Pennsylvania, from which place he
was recently dismissed with consid-
erable public sensation. It is said
that he was ousted because of the
vehement criticism of several large
corporations with regard to several
of his recent public utterances.
