LORCH TO SPEAK THIS AFTERNOON Prof. Emil Lorch of the School of Architecture will give the second lecture on the summer series this afternoon at 5 o'clock in Natural Science auditorium, speaking upon "The Development of the Skyscra- per." The gradual evolution of the typical American building influenc- ed in part by the rapid industrial- ization and concentration of popu- lation in our large cities will be shown. "Up to a certain point," said Professor Lorch, "American archi- tecture followed more or less the trend of European design. With' improvements in steel construction, however, the way was opened for the super-skyscraper, which is a distinctively American contribu- tion. Much higher structures and' an entirely new architectural cre-! ation has been the result." The subject of city planning will be involved in the discussion and various problems which have arisen during the skyscraper's evolution will be discussed by Professor Lorch. The lecture will be illus- i I s l j I ; i 1i I I Hobbs Describes, Exploration Trip Officially opening Michigan's Summer Session lecture course, Professor William H.

He answered nationalist objec- tions to the newly evolved plan by1 declaring that it made Germany's burden definitely lighter than the Dawes plan and that this was the only question at issue. Then further to take the wind out of the sails of the nationalistsi he announced that President von Hindenburg as well as the cabinet stood behind manifestations this week against the treaty of Ver- sailles, especially the clause ack- nowledging Germany's guilt in the war. The foreign minister repeatedly declared to the nationalists that when they were in power they also could not do otherwise than to ful- fill Germany's international obli- gations. The nationalist policy of first proving that the Dawes plan was unworkable, he said, would have led to the destruction of the in- dustrial middle class and would have been accompanied by conse- quences as dire as the Ruhr con- troversy of 1923. Despite his recent illness, the foreign minister was in excellent condition. He used a manuscript as the basis for his address, but frequently departed from it by re- plying to questions from the floor. When the debate was finished for the day the nationalists intro- duced a motion of no competence against the foreign minister, de- claring that his five years in the post had been a failure. Count Westart, leader of the na- tionalists, declared' that the Young plan would enslave future genera- tions and that what made it worse was the fact that it would be ac- cepted by Germany instead of be- ing forced upon her as he said the Dawes plan was.

The summary of these figures disclosed that 3,049 students had registered, as against 2812, last year's number, or an increase of 237. The large decrease in the enroll- ment of the School of Education was explained by Dean Kraus as being due to the large registration of teachers in the Graduate school, which this year showed an in- crease of 291 students. The above figures do not include those registered for the public health institutes and School of Education week-end conferences.
