IS MICHIGANGRADUATE
Prof. Lawrence V. Kerber, who was
recently appointed to the Guggenheim
<chair of aeronautics of the University,
will arrive from McCook field late
this month to take charge of his work,
according to word received by Prof.
Herbert C. Sadler, head of the marine
and aeronautical departments in the
Colleges of Engineering and Archi-
tecture.
Professor Kerber was one of the
first aeronautical students to grad-
uate from the University, leaving here
in 1918. His first position was at thel
Martin Airplane company, where he
was engineer in charge of engine per-
formance. In 1919, he left to take
the position of aeronautical engineer
at McCook field, Dayton, Ohio. In
this capacity Professor Kerber was
connected with the development of
all the various designs of aircraft
which has been used in the govern-
ment service.
For some time he was in the re-
serve branch of the army, where he
had direct supervision of all the ob-
server personnel of the flying section.
In this connection, Professor Kerber
gained considerable notice by develop-
ing a new method of determining air-
plane performance and design charts.
From 1926 to the present. time, he
has been chief of the aerodynamic
unit and has had charge of all the
experimental work in the wind tun-
nel, besides responsibility of passing
on all designs submitted to the de-1
partment and supervision of all offi-I
cial reports. le has written numer-
ous papers and books concerning
aeronautics.
Professor Kerber will assist in some
of the general design classes, and will
have charge of the development of
the new work in air transportation )
and the economics of commercial'
flight.

PLAN FOR CRUISE
(Continued from Page Two)
attempt to take the members of the
cruise as far off the beaten path as
possible. Also, the expeditions on
shore will correlate with the courses
given on board ship, and side trips
or educational leaders in the coun-
tries visited.
The "Aurania" will make its first
extended stop in the Hawaiian islands,
leaving from New York by way of
Cuba and the Panama canal. Japan,
China, and the interior of Asia, in
addition to the Philippines, will be
visited in the Far East. The cruise
will make extended stops in Egypt
and the Holy Land, and then go on to
Turkey, southern Europe, and the
northern part of the Continent.
