Appointment Of William Worrell
Adds Noted Scholar To Faculty

New Minister Is
don fronted With
Chinese Troubles
F- ° ,

The appointment of William H.
Worrell as associate professor in
Semitics has been received with much
satisfaction by scholars in the Hum-
anistic field. His work had previous-
ly brought distinction to the Univer-
sity and his appointment will row af-
ford the campus further opportunities
for researches as well as for advanc-
ed instruction in Arabic and other
languages of the Near East.
Professor Worrell was born, in Tol-
edo, April 28, 1879. He graduated
from the classical course of the Uni-
versity' of Michigan .in 1903. After-
wards he studied at the Universities
of Berlin, Leipzig, and Strassborg
He received the degree of bachelor of
divinity from the Hertford Theolog-
ical seminary, and of doctor of philos..
burg.
ophy from the University of Strass-
Mr. Worrell commenced work of
teaching as an instructor in Semitics
at the University of Michigan in 1908,
but after two years became a member
of the faculty of the Hartford Theol-
ogical seminary, then of the Ken-
riedy School of Missions in Hartford,
where he had the rank of professor.
Professor Worrell's work as a schol-
ar has won international recognition
in two lines. He has carried forward
scientific investigation in phonetics
especially as applied to the languages,
of the Near East, and has also contri-

through publication of Ethiopie and
Coptic languages. In 1916 he publish-
ed a Coptic version of the Psalms
from an interesting manuscript in
the Freer collection. This was fol-
lowed in 1923 by the publication of
two Coptic Homilies and a magical
text, from manuscripts partly in the
Freer collection and in part in the'
British Museum.
Since there was no suitable Coptic
type in the United States for these
monographs, Professor Worrell made
designs for two fonts of Coptic type,
which were cast in Boston. The types
have been admired and highly com-
mended by Coptic scholars. The two
monographs are published together
as Volume X of the Humanistic series
of the University of Michigan studies.
The other publications of Professor
Worrell are distributed in a wide
range of journals. At the present time
he is carrying through the press a
volume containing fifty letters and
documents written in Hebrew char-
acters but largely in the Arabic lang-
uage. These range in date from the
tenth to the fifteenth century and are
of much historical inte-rest. The or-
iginal documents are loaned by the
Freer gallery in Washington to the
University 9f Michigan for publica-
tion and their interpretation is a
task of great difficulty. They were

found with a

large mass:

of similar

buted to the literature of his subjecti material in Cairo.

SURP ASSES LAST YEAR
Final figures for yesterday's regis-
tration in the various schools and
colleges showed a total enrollment
of 3,130 for the Summer session. This
figure surpasses last year's mark at
the same time by 93. The loss o f160,
which was noted in the registration
in the engineering college and Medic-
al school, was more than offset by
increased enrollment in all the other
schools.
Reports from the Biological station
at Douglas lake showed that 55 have
already signed for the summer work
there, this number being made up
of 23 from the literary college, 30
from the Graduate school, and two
from the School of Education. Word
from the Geology camp at Mill
Springs, Ky., showed that 40 students
have enrolled for the courses there.

Amoy, China, June 26.-(By A.P.)-
Some minor anti-foreign demonstra-
tions took place here Thursday and
the student element, agitating for a
general strike and boycott of foreign-

fective. Measures are being taken to
protect foreigners.
A Japanese merchant gunboat has

INTERNATIONAL C. OF CA
CLOSES, BRUSSELS MEET
Brussells, June 26.-The third
Bie'nnial Congress of the Internation-
al Chamber of Commerce closed to-
day with the 'adoption of resolutions,
which in the opinion of the leading
delegates, took away the atmosphere
of hopelessness as to the economic
situation with which the Congress
opened.
The plain truth told to the dele-
gates by John W. O'Leary, chairman
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, followed by a categor-
ical declaration by the French dele-
gation that it favored the funding of
war debts, cleared the air and re-
moved the uneasiness produced by
foreboding, as to the probable failure
of the Dawes reparations pact.
Etienne Clemenceau, former French
Finance Minister, sent a response in
which he declared that "It is time
to. let bygones be bygones," and that
when Germany signed the Protocol
for execution of the Dawes plan, it
was the sign of a new era, in which
the horrors of the war were to be
forgotten, such as France and Bel-
chnn au suffered.t

NEED MORE LA

ment, Speaker Declares
Formation of a new municipal are
for the overcrowded metropolita
aeas, is the solution Prof. Thomas H
Reed of the political science depari
ment offered in a lecture on "T
Government of Metropolitan Commur
ities," delivered yesterday afternoo
in Natural Science auditorium. T
equalization, of government for bot
the borough and the county is t
constant demand of both units, Prc
fessor Reed pinted out.
"This is the age of the great city,
stated ProfessortReed. "Whileti
population of Athens in the time to
Pericles was only 115,000 and ancieD
Rome 800,000, cities Qf 1,000,000 a
today not uncommon. The metropo
itan area, including the suburbs ou1
side of the city limits, is an importar
consideration in the planning of go
ernment. Boston has 700,000 einsid
the city and more than a million pec
ple living in its suburbs. The pro
lems of sewage, rapid transit an
police of 'the outlying communities i
a great one. The simple solution I
annexaticn, but local opposition is 01
ten a barrier to this. Many commun
ities are against annexation becaus
the very fact that they have built u
the suburbs is due to the desire o:
the part of the inhabitants to escap
conditions of city life. Simple annex
ation is not a solution."
Professor Reed noted that Los AD
geles. is as large as some Europea
states and Chicago has expande
equally, but these cities made thei
annexations of surrounding territor
early in the development of the re
spective sections. The fact that Lo
don has been froced to create section

ernmnents as the needs arpse 'shoW
that a real metropolitan problem e

"In the swollen metropolis the i
dividual is lost and the conflict be
tween the local units and the city b
comes increasingly bitter," said Pr
. fessor Reed. Regional plans are b
ing constructed in New York, Phi
adelphia and Detroit, which has a
pealed to their state legislature for a
amendment creating a metropolita
district around Detroit.
"A solution can be arrived at t
the creation of a new area," suggeste
Professor Reed. "What we need is
larger area formed around the cit
Around each large center of popul
tion group the territory depende
on it and give it authority co de
with matters of common interest su
as water supply, transportation, tra
fic, illumination, police, charity, a
health administration. Preserve ti
local units as they are, but form th
new unit to cope with problems

region already exists as an econom
and social fact; all that remains Is

General Strike Ended
Shanghai, June 26.- (By A.P.) -
The general strike has terminated
and all the larger stores are reopen-
ing, but shipping continues paralyzed
and the Japanese and British cotton
mills still are closed. The radical ele-
