PROF. 1. R. AEN
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
3IN PITTSBURG, PAffi
WAS FORMER HEAD OF UNIVERSI-
TY'S MECHANICAL ENGIN-
EERING DEPARTMENT
HIS DEATH COMES AS
SHOCK TO ASSOCIATES
Professor Allen with University for
Years; Went from Here to
Minnesota
The death of Prof. John R. Allen,
former head of the U. of M. mechan-
ical engineering department, who died
suddenly of pneumonia Tuesday even-
Ing in Pittsburg, Pa., was a shock to
all his associates in Ann Arbor, no
one even knowing before his death
that he had been seriously ill.
Up until three years ago when he
left the University of Michigan to go
to the University of Minnesota as
dean of the engineering college, Pro-
fessor Allen was for years associate
head of the mechanical engineering
department of Michigan. He was a
recognized authority on 'heating and
ventilating engineering, and at one
time was the president of the National
Society of Heating and Ventilating
Engineers. Also, he has been vice-
president of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers.
Went to Minnesota
Last spring Professor Allen left
Minnesota to take the directorship of
important research work for the Na-
tional Society of Heating and Venti-
lating Engineers, in which he had the
co-operation of the government, and
conducted his research and establish-
ed his laboratory in the U. S. bureau
of mines laboratory at Pittsburg.
Professor Allen's one great grief in
life came with the entrance of the
United States into the war in which
he could take no active part. In the
spring of 1916 he suffered an acci-
dent which cost him the sight of one
eke, and he was therefore unfit for
military servicer
x In Foreign Work
In 1911 Professor Allen was called
to Turkey to build up an engineering
department in Robert college. He
was made dean of that department,
and stayed there till it got upon its
feet. During his sojourn in Turkey
he was on leave of absence from the
University of Michigan.
Two years before that he headed.
an expedition into Mexico, where he
'pnt as a representative of one of the
leading rubber companies of this
country, to investigate the peculiar
trees of Mexico which prdmised, a sub-
stittite for rubber.
Professor Allen is survived by his
widow and one "daughter. The body
will be brought here for burial. Fu-
neral services will be held at 2:30
o'clock Friday, in the Baptist church,
the Rev. J. M. Wells officiating.

FINISH UNION POOL
SWIMMERS' OBJECT

Coach Drulard's Men Turn Out
Back Membership Campaign
Committee

to

MEN PETITION ATHLETIC BOARD
FOR SUPPORT OF SWIMMING
"Finish the pool" was the slogan
adopted at the Union last night when
more thann40 men interested in the
development of the Michigan swim-
ming team turned out for the open-
ing meeting of the life membership
campaign which will take place on
Nov. 8, 9, and 10. The gathering,
which was largely impromptu, was in
charge of Coach Elmer Drulard, '20.
Coach Drulard opened the meeting
with a short talk on the prospects
of swimming at Michigan. He told of
the petition which is now in the
hands of the executive committee of
the Board in Control of Athletics for
consideration, stating that the peti-
tion asked for more support from the
Athletic association than has been
given in the past as well as request-
ing permission to arrange meets and
decreased rates at the local Y. M. C.
'A. He was followed on the program
by Minor Sports Manager Elliott, who
outlined plansfor the winter's swim-
ming program.,
Snel Speaks
Probably the most important talk
of the evening was given by L. W.i
Snell, '21, who is in charge of the new
campaign for life memberships. Snell
told of the hopes of Homer Heath, di-
rector of the Union, for the comple-
tion of the pool and 'asked the sup-
port of the swimming team in the
coming campaign, urging particular-
ly that they give it as much publicity
as lies in their power, both here and
at home.
Other speakers were Lyndon Bab-
cock, '22, one of the founders of
Michigan's first swimming team,
Warren Hyde, '23, star of last year's
crack freshman squad, Don Nixon,
'24, one of the best swimmers of the
'Detroit Athletic club, and Norton
Golasmith, '22L, diver on last year's
team, who is taking over the coaching
of the freshman aggregation. Gold-
smith spoke to the freshmen private-
ly after the Varsity candidates had
left.
Picture to Be Taken
This afternoon at 3 o'clock in Wat-
erman gymnasium pictures of all
swimming tryouts'- and last year's
men will be taken. Every man on the
campus who intends to become a can-
didate for swimming honors, either
Varsity or freshman, should be on
hand with a swimming suit. The pic-
tures taken will be used to stimulate
interest in the campaign.
.Coach Drulard will be at the, city
Y. M. C. A. every afternoon after 3
o'clock, with the exception of this aft-
ernoon when pictures will be taken,
Saturdays and Sundays. Men who are
free at that hour should avail them-
selves of the opportunity to get prac-
tice in before the regular call for
candidates is issued shortly after .the
close of the football season.

PRESS CLUB PLANS

0RRANGE FOR PARAE Of
E-SERTICE MEN NOT I11
With both University and city of-
ficial; working in hearty co-operation,
plans for the celebration of Armistice
day,, on Thursday, Nov. 11, are pro-
gressing rapidly, and everything is
practically arranged for the affair.
Mayor G. R. Wurster has promised
to call upon all citizens and merchants
to display flags, and unite in the ob-
servance of the day which is being
celebrated on a large scae through-
out the country.
At the meeting of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, held last night at the
Union, final arrangements for the
parade were thoroughly' gone over,
and the line of march announced. All
overseas men will assemble at 2
o'clock at the corner of ' North and
East University avenues, and led by
the Varsity band will march down
North University avenue to Fifth ave-
nue, and thence to the City hall, wihere
the city detachment will fall in. The
line of march from the City hall will
be Huron to Main Street, Main to
Packard street, Packard to State
street, and State street to Hill auditor-
ium, where formal exercises for the
day will take place.
In the parade will be four student
detachments, consisting of soldiers,
sailors, marines, and men without
uniform. Other organizations to be
represented are the Spanish War vet-
erans, state troops, Boy Scouts, and
city officials. The Varsity and Ma-
sonic bands will head the procession.
"It is the duty.of all ex-service men
on the campus;" said W. B. Gilbert,
'22E, post commander, last night, "to
send home for their uniforms and
march in the parade. President Mar-
ion L. Burton has declared Nov. 11
a half holiday, and we should signify
our appreciation by turning out en
masse. If it is impossible for any
man to secure his uniform, however,
he can march in the plain clothes de-
tachment which is being organized for
just that reason."
