EXPECT TO PASS 1400 FINAL COUNT IS TAKEN WHEN LOYD MADE DEAN First School of Rind in Country; Classes Will Begin Next Fall A Michigan School of Religion, which for more than 20 years has been an air castle, is about to be- come a reality, according to a state- ment made by Prof. L. A. Hopkins of the engineering college last night. This was made possible by the es- tablishment of a three year endow- ment of $25,000 per year to finance the institution through its experimen- tal stage. Dean A. H. Lloyd of the graduate school has been named acting dean of the new institution. The faculty will be composed of faculty men from universities throughout the country, who will come on a leave of absence basis. This is done because the new school is the first of its kind in the country, which necessitates a long period of experimentation. r Professor Hopkins, and Prof. Le- Roy A. Waterman of the semitics de- partment are arranging the faculty roster. The idea of the school of religion was first propounded by Prof. R. M. Wenley more than 20 years ago, and since that time there has been no single year when there was not an interested group among the faculty. Actual procedure started when Prof. C. F. Kent of Yale university, during his visit here last year, set up the original organization. At this time a finance committee, made up of several business men, was appointed to secure financial back- ing for the proposed school. This board consists of Lyman Goodenough of Detroit, president; Frederick W. Stevens of Grand Rapids, vice presi- dent; Stanley g. Stevens, Ann Arbor, secretary; and Kirby W. White. De- trQit, treasurer; and six others. The advisory council, , correspond ing to the Regents, includes Prof. Campbell Bonner, Prof. George F. Meyers, Prof. Henry Sanders, Prof. I R. M. .Wneley, Prof. J. F. Shepard, Prof. H. L. Wilgus, and Prof. A. . Wood, all of the University faculty. The purpose of the School of Re- ligion is to offer courses in religion which will complement and augment the work already offered by the Uni- versity. Like the School of Music. it will not be an integral part of the University, but credits between the instiutions will be exchangeable. Classes will begin next fall, al- though during the current school year a number of special courses will be offered, announcements of which will be made shortly. Trout To Conduct, Business Courses Announcement has been made of the appointment of Prof. A. L. Trout, of the engineering school, as part- time associate professor in the School of Business Administration. Profes- sor Trout will continue his associa- tion with the engineering school throughout the year but at the same time will 'conduct classes and have charge of, the program and realty management in the School of Busi- ness Administration.

DETROIT ALUMI FAILS T( IN THE AMOUNT EXPECTED DONATIONS NEE Conference Rule Prohibits Association From Sendi More Than Teae Secured Passage of Education Act of 1918; in British Service Since 1912 I SAW SERVICE IN INDIA Right Honorable Herbert A. L. Fisher will deliver a University lec- ture at 4:15 o'clock today in the audi- torium of .the Natural Science 'build- ing on "Leaders of English Liberal- ism, Gladstone, Morley, Bryce, As- quith, and Lloyd George." The speak- er is a recognized leader in educa- tional reform in England. While president of the board of edu- cation, under the Lloyd George minis- try, Mr. Fisher succeeded in securing the passage of the education act of 11918, which completely changed the' English educational system. Mr. Fisher also served as a mem- ber of the Royal Commission on Pub- lic Services of India in 1912. During the World War he served on the gov- ernment committee on German out- rages. He is a graduate of Winches- ter and New College, Oxford. While serving as a tutor and later as a Fellow in New College he estab- lished a reputation as an historian, making a special study of the effect of French Revolutionary ideas in Eu- rope. At the time of his entrance into Parliament in 1916, Mr. Fisher was serving as academic head of the' Uni- versity of Sheffield. PRELSIDENT ADDESSES FIRMING SSOCITION Washington, Nov. 13.-President Coolidge declared in an address to- night before the annual meeting of the association of land grant colleges that the government would omit no efforts to prevent a repetition of re- cent misfortunes involving agriculture, but asserted that the farmer must also re-adjust his methods of produc- tion and marketing, "until he comes within sight of the new day." It was the first public address Mr. Coolidge had made since the election, and was devoted to a discussion of ag- riculture, which is the principal sub- ject before the college representaIves. The president expects to outline his views of farming conditions more ex- tensively next Monday in opening the conference of the agriculture commis- sion, which he recently appointed to formulate recommendations for the permanent stabilization of the in- dustry. "The immediate problem," the presi- dent said in his address tonight, "is to bridge over the difficulties result- ing from abnormal and war stimulated surpluses." He added that preparations must be made also for the fast ap- I proaching time when "we are likely to be one of the greatest of the agri- cultural buying nations."

(By A. P.)- Federal agents investigating the pos- sibility that a bomb wrecked the Grand Rapids main post office late yesterday afternoon, taking a toll of three lives and injuring 13 persons, announced tonight that.they had in their posses- sion a threatening letter that might lead to some tangiable clue to thel method used and to the parties impli- cated if a bomb was used. The letter was found by Ensign Harold McDonald of the United States Naval reserves force in his automobile a short time before the explosion. Al- though for the most part the words of the letter are blurred and almost illegable, the words, "disaster," and "death" are quiet clear. A man's pic- ture accompanied the note and fed- eral agents are now scouring the city in an attempt to place the man ,under arrest.x At noon today a man's leg bone was removed from the wreckage, Coro- ner Simeon D. LeRoy, after making an investigation of the bone said that it was a portion of a male leg bone' below the knee and above the ankle. Another checkup of missing persons in1 the city has failed to give aiy clue. It is thought that perhaps someone might have been blown to pieces, Although federal agents investiga- ting the explosion are positive the disaster was caused by a bomb, of- ficials of the local gas company were at the scene of the explosion all day in an effort to determine whether or not gas might have been the cause. After exhausting all tests they an- nounced early this evening that they did not believe it possible that gas caused the explosion. Dos. Annatyn, a post office employe, is still in a critical condition and may die, hospital authorities said early this evening. The other twelve who were injured by the blast are ex- pected to recover.

Band DEBTS BEING CLEARED Returns to the Varsity band from the grid-graph -will probably be doubled ,next year, predicts John Bradfield, '18, business manager of the Alumnus, who is in charge of the finances concerned with the graphI showings. This will depend% uponl whether or not the outstanding en- cumberances of the association art paid off through this year's graph re- turns, as expected. After the final showing of the graph for the Ohio State game tomorrow, more than $800 will be available for the use of the band as their share of .J the proceeds, says Mr. Bradfield. The remainder will be used by the associa-r tion, and as soon as their debt is cleared, the band's share will be doubled. Complete play-by-play results of tomorrow's game will be shown start- ing at 2:30 o'clock in Hill auditorium. Charles Livingston, '27L, in chargel of the graph for the Alumni associa- tion, will again have charge of the re- production of the game on the board C as it occurs at Columbus. Tickets for the showing are now Ion sale at the Union desk, Wahr's, Slater's, Graham's, and itston's. The downstairs section is 50 cents, whileI the balcony seats are 35 cents. Tickets will also be on sale at the box-office in Hill auditorium starting at 2' o'clock tomorrow, when the doors will be opened.1 Each play will be re-produced on the graph, with the men in the play, as well as the kind of play and the yard- age gained.

The prime obje of the collection will be to finan the band, but should the student d nations be generous enough the r serves and the freshman footba squad will make the trip. The Student council has sought forestall as long as possible the rai ing of funds by such means but st dent subscriptions must serve as th last resort if Michigan is to be re resented by a band tomorrow. A petition drafted by the Stude council asking for a permanent ban appropriation was rejected by th Board of Regents this fall. The At letic association is powerless to a the band financially because of ,Conference ruling which definite 1 fixes the number of men that any uv versity may send to a game. Alfred B. Connable, president of th council, in commenting on the situ tion said last night that "the Mic gan band must go to Columbus. Mo than 15,000 people will represent Mic igan tomorrow at the Ohio State ,st dium. It is the duty of every Michiga student to make some small sacrifi to support the Varsity band whic in the opinion of coaches and playe has a decided effect in strengthenin the moral of the team. "The Student council has endea ored to make unnecessary the inco vience ,to the student body of a publ subscription but since no other mea now remains to raise the $500 need to send the band, the responsibili for the appearance of the band o the field tomorrow rests on the ge erosity of the student body."
