Photographs Of Models
Of Mass Production
Figure Prominently
An exhibit of industrial design pro-
blems carried out by advanced stu-
dents of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn,
N.Y.. is now on display in thy College
of Architecture and Design until
Dec. 14.
The designs are shown dramatic-
ally in striking enlargements of pho-
tographs of the models made in pro-
jects. Articles in mass production
are the subjects of the designs. These
are first executed in sketches, then
worked out in clay or plaster models,
and finally made into the finished
product in wood, metal, or plastics.
Various ideas for one particular pro-
blem are presented, as the many de-
signs for different models of radios
show. Some of the other designs
shown are for free plaster sculptures,
electric irons, lamps of various kinds,
automobile bodies and several types
of furniture.
According to Mr. Sidney G. War-
ner of the decorative design depart-
ment of the architecture college, the
display-shows forcibly that industrial,
design involves more than drawing.

of '19, wished to place a long
distance telephone call, he had
to wait 15 minutes, on the aver-
age,, for the connection to be
completed.
Today, you merely give the oper-
ator the desired out-of-town
telephone number, hold the line,
and in 1'/2 minutes (average)
you are talking on your call,
And if you do -not know the
number, just give the operator
the name and address under
which the telephone is listed,
and she'll do the rest.

771 members of the faculty have
attended a total of 329 institutions
of higher learning, including 76 for-
eign schools and universities, and
326 of them or approximately 42 per
cent have received the doctor of phi-
losophy degree.
Compared with the faculty of 40
years ago, 20 per cent more ,have ac-
quired the doctor's degree. The per-
centage of those who received their
doctorate at Michigan has 'jumped
from 30 per cent in 1899 to 57 per
cent today. 16 received doctor's de-
grees at foreign universities then,
while 19 of the present staff were
honored abroad.,
The variety of institutions attend-
ed has remained about the same
since 1923, increasing from a total
of 323 to the present 329. However,
the number of foreign institutions
attended has dropped from 94 to 76
in that time, and the number of
persons attending them from 207
a decade and a half ago to only 158
today.
Among American colleges and uni-
versities, Michigan faculty members
1 have been enrolled at some time or
other in a greater number of private
universities, technical schools, jun-
ior colleges and music schools, while
practically the same number of state
universities, state colleges, private
colleges, and normal schools have
been attended. The numbers attend-
ing each category has increased in
practically every case, showing the
increased number of faculty mem-
bers and greater diversity of colleges
attended by each.
Considering the number of insti-
tutions attended, privately controlled
colleges take the lead with 92 dif-
ferent colleges mentioned. Privately
controlled universities come second
with 62 listed, and state universities
are third with 32 on the list from
Georgia to Washington. Following
these are 14 normal schools, 12 each
of state colleges and technical
schools, seven junior colleges, and
27 other schools and colleges.

Yale with 21, Cornell, Pennsylvania
