R ALBERT MAYIO
Forty-two religious bodies are rep-
resehted on campus, the 136-37 Re-
ligious census just completed by the
office of Dr. Edward Blakeman,
counselor in religious education,
shows.
Of the 10,331 cards turned into the
Counselor's dff ice eight signified pref-
erence for agnosticism and atheism,
and 2,038 showed no religious pref-
erence or affiliation. The Methodist
church leads the Proestant groups
and all other churches with a total
membership and listed preference of
1525. The Jewish church has a stu-
d'ent preference of 1003, the census
shows, making that body third largest
on campus. In the Catholic group,
the Roman Catholic church leads
with a registration of 891, fifth larg-
est on campus. Leading the Oriental
religions is the Moslem church with
five students.
Presbyterians Second
Second among University students
in numerical order is the Presbyter-
ian church with a membership and
preference of 1323. The remaining
churches in the Protestant group in
order of students are as follows: Epis-
copal, 942; Congregational, 685; Lu-
theran, 476; Baptist, 339; Protestant,
17$; Christian Disciples, 140; Re-
formed, 117; Evangelical, 96; Uni-
tarian, 90; Union, Federated, Liberal,
31; Brethern, 20; Friends (Quakers),
18; Universalists; 16; Seventh Day
Adventist, 7; African Methodist, 7;
Latter Day Saints, 6; Mennonite, 6;
Swedenborgian, 5.
The Orthodox (Greek, Russian)
church has an enrollment of 40 the
report shows.
Figures for the other Eastern re-
ligions listed are not available for
they have all been included in a
minor cat.egory, a class in which re-
ligious groups with a membership
and preference less than five are
placed. The Eastern religions in this
group includes the Zoroastrian, Budd-
hist, and Shinto churches.
17 Other Sects
This same minor category com-
prises 17 sects among which are the
following: Brewster Religion, Chris-
tian Missionary Alliance, Church of
God, Church of the Open Door, Eth-
ical Culture Society, Mission Coven-
ant, Moravian, Mormon, Nazarene,
New Apostolic, New Thought, Spirit-
ualist and the Swedish Mission.
With the. exception of the Chris-
tian Scientists who have shown a
definite increased enrollment, and
the Disciples of Christ, who have
doubled in number, the figures are
approximately the same for the rest
of the churches as they have been in
the last few years, the Religious
Counselor explained.
4,000 Attend Church
The actual number of those who
attended churches once or more a
month, he estimated at 4,000. "The
general atendance is not as large as
the census shows," Dr. Blakeman de-
clared, "because students are lecture
weary. Considering all the wbrthy
enterprises which are claiming young
people all the time, ministers are do-
ing marvelously well."
Religion is a subjective activity, Dr.
Blakeman pointed out, and conse-
quently it is only after adolescence
that students become actively in-
terested in it; in their youth they
are occupied with objective things
such as sports and contests and the
like. At that, Dr. Blakeman said,
interest in religion since the League
of Nations breakdown, and the ec-
onomic depression has increased
noticeably.

Apparatus Exchange: The Regents
at their meeting in March, 1927, au-
thorized an arrangement for the sale
of scientific apparatus by one de-
partment to another, the proceeds of;
the sale to be credited to the budget
account of the department from
which the apparatus is transferred.
Departments having apparatus
which is not in active use are advised.
to send description thereof to the
University Chemistry Store, of which
Prof. R. J. Carney is director. The
Chemistry store headquarters are in
Room 223 Chemistry Building. An
effort will be made to sell the ap-
paratus to other departments which
are likely to be able to use it. In
some instances the apparatus may be
sent to the University Chemistry
store on consignment and if it is not
sold within a reasonable time, it will
be returned to the department from
which it was received. The object
of this arrangement is to promote
economy by reducing the amount of
unused apparatus. It is hoped that
departments having such apparatus
will realize the advantage to them-
selves and to the University in avail-
ing themselves of this opportunity.

New Analysis M
Ten -Milliontl

Process Is Developed
Physics Research In
Years Work

By
Six

By WILLIAM E. SHACKELTON
A new method of analyzing ma-
terialswhich measures the quanti-
ties of elements present down to pro-
portions as small as one part inl10
million has been developed during the
last six years in the University lab-
ratories, Prof. O .S Duffendack of'
the physics department declared yes-
terday.
The principle .of the method in-
volves comparison of the intensities'
of spectral lines due to the element
being tested and an internal "con-
trol," a material of known quality
introduced or already present in the
substance being tested. In the an-
alysis of alloys such as cast iron
or steel the preponderant element
present is usually chosen as the con-
trol, even though its exact per cent
1 of the total may not be known.
Procedure in making a determina-
tion of the constitution of an alloy
or fluid consists, as Professor Duffen-
cack outlined it, of first preparing a
number of diagrams which depictl
the relation between intensity of the
unknown's spectral line and the
quantity of the element present.
These diagrams are prepared after a
long series of tests upon known1
amounts of a particular element, and
take into account the disturbing in-
fluences of other elements which may
also be found in the analysis.1
Then a photograph of the spectrum
of the material under analysis is
taken, he went on. For this purpose
a specific photographic plate is used
which carries a pattern of lines hav-
ing a definite intensity. One of the
spectral lines of the test element and
the intensity of the control is com-
pared with the intensity pattern; the
relative value of the intensity is!
found, and the corresponding quan.I
tity of material is read off the dia-
gram previously prepared.I
Only very small quantities of ma-E
terial, as little as two or three thou-
sandths of a gram, are required for a'
complete analysis, Professor Duffen-
dack said. Likewise, the amount of
the material analyzed for may be ex-
tremely minute in comparison with
the total mass; and determinations of
quantities present to the extent of

Alexander J. Davis, an interna-

century who was engaged to build
the first University buildings in Ann
Arbor, and his influence on Ameri-

one of the Metropolitan Museum

Among the documents quoted in

1837 to 1840, the period during which
Davis was awarded a contract by the
Regents to begin construction of cam-

Demonstration debates, forum dis-
cussions and lectures in dramatics
will feature the special meeting of
the Michigan High School Forensic
Association here on Saturday, Nov.
7, it was announced by Dr. William
P. Halstead, manager and member of
the University speech department.
High school debate members and
coaches have been invited from all
parts of the state for this meeting
which will be held at the Lydia Men-
delssohn theatre at the League.
Prof. Gail E. Densmore of the Uni-
versity speech department will speak
on the topic of what makes a good
debater. A demonstration debate will
be conducted by the varsity teams of
the University and Wayne. Dr. Hal-
stead will speak to groups interested
in dramatics.
This is one of a series of demon-
stration meetings planned for the
members of the Michigan High
School Forensic Association which is
sponsored by the University Exten-
sion Division, Dr. Halstead said.

The odds appeared overwhelming-

During the afternoon the living
