preliminary debates in which all
schools participate in order to com-

plaque trophy.
Densmore in Charge.
In this elimination contest, the
schools will debate among them-
selves, with the undefeated schools
dropping out of the contest until
only two undefeated schools re-
main. The representatives of these
two schools will debate on May 1
in Hill auditorium for the inter-
scholastic championship of the
state.
Prof. G. E. Densmore, manager of
the league, expects last year's rec-
ord attendance for the champion-
ship debate to be surpassed this
year, for the Michigan School-
masters club will be in session here
on May 1, and will attend the de-
bate in Hill auditorium.
AVUKAH TO HEAR
SHARFMAN SPEAK
Economics Professor to Discuss
Zionistic Politics.
Prof. I. L. Sharfman, of the eco-
nomics department, will address the
Avukah student organization at
8:15 o'clock Monday night in the
Hillel foundaton building. His topic
will reveal "Recent Developments in
Zionistic Politics."
The recent Simpson report and
the White paper issued by Great
Britain concerning the prohibition
of immigration into Palestine will
be taken up in professor Sharfman's
talk, as will the Balfour declaration
and its meaning.
Herbert Smith, '32D, will deliver
the second paper in the series of
Hillel student forums Sunday night
at the foundation. Discussing "Hy-
brid Judaism," Smith will compare
the factors of modern casual Juda-
ism with the environment and edu-
cational factors that make for a
deep-rooted religion.
SEARS CONDUCTS
PEAT BOG SURVEY
Prof. Paul B. Sears, head of the
botany department at the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma, hasdbeen the
guest of the botany department
here, where he has been engaged
in research on the history of peat
bogs.
He is applying a method, first ap-
plied in Europe, by which a study
is made of the vegetational succes-
sans, as glaciers succeeded, by
means of the microscopic study of
the characteristic pollen grains in

plants that are preserved in past
bogs. This microscopic analysis of
the peat from the top to the bottom
of the bog will give a history of
the changes in vegetation of the
history surrounding the bog.
This a a continuation of work
which Professor Sears began while
he was teaching at the Ohio State
university.

INDIA DEINIIED FINAL
Lord Irwin's Report Replaces
Recommendations Proposed
by Sir Jc4in Simon.
VICEROY GIVEN POWER
(B'v Associated Press)
LONDON, Nov. 14.-:dopes for im-
mediate dominion for India were
dealt another stiff blow today.
Seeking an immediate dominion
status as a minimum concession.
Indian delegates to the roundtable
conference - were presented the
recommendations of the viceroy,
Lord Irwin, and his government,
which forsee a distant day when
a large degree of self-government
will be attained, but meanwhile
envisage only gradual development
toward that end.
The report, which contains 250
pages, will supplement as a basis
for discussion in the roundtable
conference the report and recom-
mendations of the commission of
Sir John Simon on Indian statu-
tory reform, which excited a storm
of protest in Indian Nationalist
circles when published several
months ago.
Although some of the viceroy's
recommendations are in accord
with those of the statutory com-
mission, there are certain marked
divergencies.

Former Bishop of India to Speak
Next Tuesday Before
Open Forum.
KNOWS OF MANY FAITHS
Drawing his convictions on reli-
gion from a knowledge of various
Oriental faiths besildes Christianity.
Dr. Frederick B. Fisher, pastor of
the Methodist-Episcopal church of
Ann Arbor and former bishop of
India, will spear before the Open
Forum, discussing an outline of
what he thinks the coriege student's
approach to religion should be, at
4:15 o'clock Tuesday in the Natural
Science auditorium.
Dr. Fsher is definitely opposed to
proselyting a religion upon anyone,
either a liberal minded American
college student or an Oriental well
established in Mohamadanism or
any other eastern faith. Religion,
he continues, has something very
real to offer the individual just as
literature or science has, and it
should be up to the individual to
seek out the church as an agent to
helping him realize his spiritual
impulses just as he seeks out other
professions to help him realize oth-
er desires.
In getting at a religion that suits
the modern college student the
speaker will mentilon the contribu-
tions that have been made by the
recent humanist movement and the
writers of modern literature that
have fostered the idea.
Besides his contacts with students
in India and China, Dr. Fisher has
made many recent contacts with
undergraduate life at Chicago uni-
versity, P2ttsburg university, and
the university of Boston.

DISCUSS[SH a'..Y
Englishman Discovers Material
of Value for Historical
Research.
STUDIES EARLY AMERICA
"Clements library possesses a vast
store of valuable manuscripts and
books of early American historical
wealth," stated Robert A. Humph-
reys, who has been sent to this Uni-
versity on a Commonwealth fellow-
ship received while a student at
Peterhouse, Cambridge.
Humphreys has been carrying on
his historical research in the Cle-
ments library. He remarked thatj
"the Shelburne Papers" are excep-
tionally fine and has found them tQ
be valuable to his study of PrIy
American history and the affilia-
tions of the Colonies with the Brit-
ish empire.
Along with Mr. Humphreys are
two colleagues who also have been
awarded the Commonwealth fellow-
ship. Reginald William Revans has
been studying in the physics de-
partment and Norman Goodier whti
was here last year is continuing his
work in the engineering college.
The Commonwealth foundation
sends to the leading universities
and colleges in the United States
several exceptional students every
year to carry on their study.
MUSEUM RECEIVES
GIFT OF SKELETON
Receipt of the complete skeleton
of Tursiops, a large genus of por-
poise inhabiting the Atlantic, has
been announced by the University
museum of zoology. The specimen
camefromthe Harvard museum of
comparative zoology.
Nearly 12 feet long, the skeleton,
is mounted for exhibition in the up-
per hall of the museums building as
a part of the teaching museum, now
being arranged there. Its particular
interest lies in the fact that it was
prepared more than 50 years ago
under the direction of Louis Agas-
siz, one of the greatest of American
naturalists and at that time direc-
tor of the museum of comparative
zoology.

ROBBINS WRITES ABOUT UNIVERSITY
BOOK SYSTEM, QUALITY QUANTITY
Featured in this week's Michigan bird and the Kohinoor or the Taj
Alumnus is another of the series Mahal extreme rarities."

of University "short short stories"
which have been written by Dr.
Frank 1. Robbins for the last sev-
eral years and which appear on
the back cover of each Alumnus
issue. This week's concerns quantity
and quality in the University lib-
rary system.
"The University library has,"
says Dr. Robbins, "more than 750,-
000 volumes and is, necessarily, one
of the great libraries of the coun-
try: But it is a great library, too,
because it includes collections on
special subjects which not only
contain all the usual books on the
subject, but likewise the unusual
books and sometimes the unique
books."
Continuing in his description of
the "libri rariores," Dr. Robbins
tells of the "three little books
whose title pages indicate that
they were all printed before the
revolution." The British museum
catalogue, the Bibliotheque Na-
tionale catalogue, and the Library
of Congress catalogue do not list
any one of them. They belong in
a class "by themselves like the dodo

These three books are part of a
remarkable collection of mathe-
matical, mechanical, and astrono-
mical history books which have
been collected as a result of work
done by several members of the
University faculty in research.
