No. X EIGHT PAGES ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 E ROLL T RECORDS II (ERS CHOSEN 34TH ANNUAL STEFFANSSON, BORAH, EL, AND VAN DYKE HEAD COURSE INCLUDE 11 NUMBERS Fosdick, Ackley, Kennedy-Mathinson Co., Anspacher, Whitney, and Skeylilli will also Appear Including within its numbers both variety and quality, the thirty-fourth annual lecture program of the Ora- torical association appears to be one of the most promising in recent years. The program will include eleven num- bers this year, instead of the usual ten. The number of lectures has been increased this year by the fact that after contracts had been signed for the usual ten speaker3 it was found possible to se.uro a contract with the Honorable Newton D. Baker, ex- sec- retary of war, and a brilliant speaker. Mr. Baker has been much sought for lecture programs by organizations in many parts of the country. The date of his lecture has not as yet been set. Vilhjalmur Steffansson, the Artic explorer, will open the course Tues- day, October 21. Mr. Steffansson has returned from Australia, where he lectured and carried -on several ex- a nf a scientific character. French Legion Honors Thieme, Hobbs AndNovy Three members of the faculty were honored by the French government this summer with the decoration of the French Legion of Honor. They, were: Prof. W. H. Hobbs, head of the geology department; Prof. H. P. Thieme of the French department; and Prof. F. G. Novy of the Medical school. Professor Hobbs received his deco- ration early in the summer for his contributions to the world of science; In the geological field. Professor Thieme, who has been absent on leave from the University during the past year in France, found the notice 'of his decoration on his return to Ann Arbor, together with a letter from Ambassador Jusserand which particu- larly commended his work in connec- tion with the study of French litera- ture. Professor Novy, considered the most famous student of Louis Pasteur received his decoration late in the summer for research in bacteriology. Three other members of the faculty are members of the Legion of Honor: Prof. Rene Talamon of the French department; Prof. Charles Vibbert of the philosophy department; and Col. H. W. Miller of the Engineering col- lege. Largent Class In History Receives Diplomas at 80th Annuial 1 a a i 1 i 1 3 i ,f , 1 1 e F c , P '..E c IE '1 '..

He is also an author and a scientist. He was one of the first men to emphasize the importance of world air routes, such as are now being mapped out. Louis Kaufman Anspacher will be the second speker on the program, ap- pearing on, October 30. He will' speak on "Drama as a Social Force in a Democracy." He is well known as a philosopher. dramatist, poet, and orator, having been on the lecture platform quite a number of years. Mr. Anspacher is considered by many as leading authority on the importance of dramatist literature. Although the date has not as yet. been set, the third speaker on the program will probably be Sen. Wil- liam E. Borah, Idaho. Senator Borah is well known to the American public as a statesman and reformer, and his ability as a speaker is known to all who have followed the debates which have taken place in the senate cham- bers. If unable to appear early in November, he will speak at a later date on some timely and vital ques- tion. On November 11 Carl Akley willl speak on "Big Game Hunting in Africa." This lecture is based upon four trips to Africa, and is said to be of the type which appeals to the popular audience. He is also a sculptor of some note, having recently been chosen to construct the Roose- velt Memorial. The Kenney-Matthison company will give "The Chastening," a play which has been well received both In Eng- land and America, on November 18 Charles Rann Kennedy, author of (Continued on Page Two) MANY POSITIONSOPEN r PARTTIE lWORK Students who are planning to work their way through the University may find assistance through the Univer- sity Student Employment bureau, ac- cording to Miss Mary L. Stewart, di- rector of the bureau. "There is a great need for steady positions with cash remuneration,"' she said, "as most of the boys applying here for Before a crowd of thousands of ' friends and relatives, more than two thousand members of the Michigan Alumni association, and an impres- sive gathering of national notables, the various classes of '24 received their degrees from President Marion Burton at the 80th annual commence- ment of the University, at Ferry Field 1 last June. This was the largest class ever to leave in a single group, and increases the lead of the alumni association as the largest in the world. The commencement ceremony be- gan bright and early in the morning,° with a procession down State street to the field. The fluttering flags, the bright colors of the academic hoods,7 the gowns of foreign universities, the sombre black of the seniors, the blare of trumpets and the music of' the band lent an air of grandeur to the occasion. Stands had been erect- -ed facing the south bleachers, where+ the officials and notables were seat-' ed. Glenn Frank, the brilliant young editor of the Century Magazine, was the speaker of the day, holding the attention of the audience that filled the stadium with a plea for a stal- wart facing of the problems of the day. A free university, a pacific church, and a realistic state were the ideals he emphasized. "The success or failure of the democratic experiment on this con- tinent will ultimately be decided in our schools," declared Dr. Frank. "Magnificent housing and large at- tendance at universities will not dic- tate the right course for a democracy or determine its actions. Univer- sities that teach their students what to think are a danger to democracy. Universities that teach their students how to think and then thrust them out to decide what to think from I year to year are democracy's one indispensible safeguard." American democracy needs mental freedom more than it needs mental furniture, was the opinion of the speaker, who went on to compare the teaching of the natural and the social sciences. "Knowledge of the natural sciences is today in the hands of a society that lacks the intellectual in- sight and moral power to use them wisely," he declared.

Hawley Tapping, field secretary of the Alumni association. A total of $25,176.00 was handled by the office, completely breaking all expectations. The money for the tickets and the applications were all collected by the local secretaries and sent to Mr. Tapping, who in turn gave them to the Athletic association on Sept 1, the first day of ticket sales. The alumni seats were sold out at' the end of three days for the Wis- consin game and at the end of six days for the Iowa game. Orders re- ceived by the Athletic association on Monday, Sept 1. were greater thap the total orders received in the first 11 days before the Ohio game last year. Ticket allotments this year were 16,000 for the alumni and 16,000 for the student body for the Wisconsin and Iowa games. Student applica- tions have been pouring into the ath- letic association office for these games ever since the first day of registra- tion. The Northwestern game tickets are also going fast. Due to the shortage of tickets only one extra, .ticket will be given each student for the Iowa and Wisconsin .games. Among the Alumni clubs, the Uni- versity of Michigan club of Detroit took the most seats, $14,394 worth of tickets for the six conference games being handled through Mr. Tapping's office. Grand Rapids was next with $1,625 and Toledo third with $1,419. 'Other Michigan cities who availed themselves of this way to secure their tickets were: Jackson, Lansing, Midland, Battle Creek, Monroe, Alle- gan, Sturgis, Alpena, Menominee, Royal Oak, Muskegon, Petoskey, Dear- born, Port Huron, and Three Rivers. The out-of-state towns who gent in applications were: Akron, Cleveland, Dayton, Sandusky, Youngstown, and Cincinnati, Ohio; Minneapolis, Minn., New York City, N.. Y.; and Kansas City, Missouri. Tickets were mailed to the individu- al purchasers by the Athletic associa- tion and not sent in groups. They were filled, however, so that all the alumni from one city could sit to- gether. PRESBYTEIANS PLAN Enrollment figures at the end. of the third day of registration in the University indicate an increase over last year in every college. The ap- proximate total of students enrolled At the closing on Thursday night in all schools was 5,200. According to the Registrar's office early indications do not mean that there will be any great increase in the total registration figures. Part of the early gain is due to the registra- tion of upperclassmen on Monday al- though the registration'of all students did .not begin until Tuesday. The limiting of football tickets is another cause for the early increase . in the enrollment. Students are returning earlier than usual in order to make application for their reservations at the games. The greatest gain is noted in the literary college which shows an in- crease of 345 over the figures of last year at this same time. The total at the end of the third day of registra- tion in this school was 3,418. Of this number 2,158 were men as compared to 1,990 men last year, and 1,260 wo-' men as compared to 1,083, indicating that the proportion of men and women students is practically the same. It is expected that by Monday night the final enrollment figures will not show much gain over the final count of 5,115 for last year n this college. In the engineering college 898 students were enrolled as compared to 749 at this same time last year. It is expected that the total registration in this school will be about average. An increase of 93 students was not- ed in the law schol to the present time, the total enrollment being 216. No figures are yet available from the graduate school. Enrollment in the medical school showed an average registration of '270 at the end of the third day. The dental college had a total re'gistra- tion of 175. An unusually large freshman class is expected in this school, the freshman enrollment having reached the total of 85 on Thursday night. The pharmacy school had an en- rollment of 43, a gain of 10 over the figures of last year at this same time. A gain of 62 is noted in the total registration of 166 in the School of Education. More students than in any previous year in the history of the University have transferred from other colleges and universities. Official registration will continue through today and Monday. All freshmen are supposed to have regist- ered by closing time tonight so that all first year classes may be arranged for the opening of school on Tuesday morning. Upperclassmen. will be allowed to register until 4 o'clock Monday. Students who enter after that time must pay a $5 delinquency fine. Mr. Shoji Nagamine has come from Japan to the University to devote the year to graduate studying in high- way engineering and highway trans- port. Mr. Nagamine is the first man to register this year for a higher de- gree in these subjects. In Japan, Mr. Nagamin e highways works of Tokyo. is engineer in of the bureau the Hongo d HEAR YE!
