Faculty Members Favor Adoption.
Because of its unquestioned suc-
cess in the engineering college as

try, different campus honorary so-
cieties and faculty members havel
been supporting the movement as
a means of bettering the existing
evils under the proctor system.
While a means has been provided
for the seniors of the literary col-,
lege to adopt an honor system, this '
will be the first time that it has
been offered to all of the other
classes.
Among the faculty members who
favor the adoption of an honor sys-
tem are: Prof. Robert C. Angell of
the sociology department, Prof.
Philip E. Bursley of the romance
languages department, Prof. Rob-
ert B. Hall of the geography de-
partment and Prof. Frederick W.

bal, the famous Carthagenian gen-

Mimes players open their last pro-
duction of the year, "The Road to
Rome," at 8:30 Monday night in
the Mimes theatre.
Robert E. Sherwood, editor of
"Life" has introduced some of the
humor for which he is well known
into the first play. The political
satire and philosophy of the play
are entirely modern, and "What
Price Glory" terms and attitude
have been introduced into the Car-'
thagenian army.,
Sherwood in this play answers
the question why the great general'
turns back from the gates of Romej
after battling many years to reach
them with a new theory, hitherto
unadvanced by historians, expres-
sed in the lovely person .and
charming wisdom of the Greek
wife of a Roman senator.

Aged Woman and Son
Hurt in Auto Crash
Mrs. J. Engbrecht, 73, of Detroit,
and her son, William Parnitt, also
of Detroit, were removed to a local
hospital at 7:30 o'clock yesterday
morning following an auto acci-
dent at the corner of East Huron
and Fifth Ave. The car in which
they were riding collided with a
truck driven by Mitchell Fettes, 335
East Washington St., at shortly aft-
er 7 o'clock.
Mrs. Engbrecht sustained an in-
jury to her back, while Parnitt in-
curred a bad glass cut on his left
arm. Fettes was not seriously in-
jured, and was taken to police
headquarters for questioning where
it was found that he was operating
a vehicle without an operator'§ li-
cense and without a chauffeur's
license.
When taken to justice court this
noon, Fettes was fined $19.10 on the
two charges. He plead guilty and
paid his fine.
NOTICE
eous to the Navy of the United
States."
Stimson Claims Balanced Pact.
Responding to the pointed ques-
tions of Senator Johnson, Secre-
tary Stimson insisted the treaty
provided a "balanced Navy."
The day's examinations by the
two committees developed that $1,-
071,000,000 of construction over a
10 year period would be involved to
bring the American navy up to
parity with the British Navy under
the treaty.
Admiral Pratt said "Give me that
navy and I wouldn't swap it for
any."
Secretary Stimson said he could
not state whether he favored the
building program but he replied to
Johnson that he did not plan a
"paper Navy at London." -
Secretary Adams was non-com-
mittal on the program.
SENIOR EXERCISE
PLANS ANNOUNCED
Dr. Robbins Announces Program
for Commencement.
Speakers for the commencement
and baccalaureate exercises were
announced yesterday by Dr. Frank
E. Robbins, assistant to the presi-
dent, as final plans neared com-
pletion.
Dr.Vincent Massey, minister
from Canada to the United States
will deliver the Commencement ad-
dress and President Ruthven will
deliver the Baccalaureate address.
Dr. Arthur W. Stalker of the
First Methodist church will offer
the invocation and benediction at
commencement, while Rabbi Ad-
olph H. Fink of the Hillel founda-
tion will offer similar services at
the Baccalaureate ceremony the
preceding day.
Dr. Stalker, who made known his
plans to resign from the active
'ministry next fall, has had a large
following of the student body in
his congregation during the 25
years of his pastorate in Ann Ar-
bor. Rabbi Fink has become pop-
ular among the Jewish students of
the University through his active
interest in activities on the cam-
pus.
Hayes Named President
I of Honor Orranization
a celebrated Da.nish actor now with.
the New York Civic Replertory the-
atre, has been engaged fbr the con-
siderable role of narrator in King
David.
Considerable excitement is pre-
valent over the performance of
Honegger's symphonic psalm. It is
the one modern choral'work that
is definitely establishing its im-
mortality, during the age of its
birth. The excellence of the Choral1
Union ensemble this year prompted
Dr. Moore to the decision of intro-.
ducing this intricate score to a Fes-1
tival audience. The soloists for this
evening's concert were engaged be-'
cause of their known acquaintance
with the roles.
The Bach Magnificat is the well-
known choral work, performed in
the Festival at various times,
though not recently. The Chicago
Symphony orchestra will separate
these choral works with a perform-
ance of Stock's own arrangement
of Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in
C minor.
Patrons are particularly request-
ed to arrive by the opening of this
concert, 8:15, as there is no intro-
ductory number, the program be-
ginning with King David. Single
tickets are to be presented at the
door.
Merry Announces New

torial board of The Daily for the
