FINAL ENROLLMENT
SHOWS LARGE GAIN
Michigan Has More Regular Student
At Summer Session Than Any
Otlher Unaiversity.
ONLY 369 OF THESE ARE WOMEN
The final figures just issued by Prof
E. H. Kraus at the administrative offi
ces of the summer session, show
gain of 96 in the enrollment of thi
year over that of last. The enroll-
ment by departments is as follows:
Lit .........................641
Engineering .................... 299
Medical...................... 13
Law ........................... 196
Pharmacy ... . ...............15
Graduate ...................... 180
Library Methods ................ 23
Biological Station ............... 29
Total ........................1515
Duplicates .................... 95
Net total .....................1420
An interesting fact is that of this
total only 369 are women, which is
scarcely more than half of the regis-
tration in the literary department
alone.
Since the institution of the first
summer session in 1894 more and more
students have taken advantage each
year of the opportunity offered to
shorten their regular course by com-
ing to summer school, as the follow-
ing figures witness:

ISSUE LICENSE TO LOCAL
WIRELESS TELEGRAPH PLANT
Station is Assigned Wave Length and
Will Take Commercial
Mfessages.
Michigan's wireless station has re-
cently been registered with the Bu-
reau of Navigation, Department of
Commerce, and a license has been re-
ceived regulating the station in vari-
ous ways and granting it certain priv-
ileges as an experimental station, not
granted to-establishments of the com-
mercial or amateur classes. The li-
censing of the local station is a part
of the world-wide movement, to regu-
late and control the numerous stations
which have sprung up in all quarters,
in order to procure the greatest ben-
efit to the general public and to mini-
mize as much as possible the interfer-
ence of minor stations with the im-
portant nautical and commercial in-
telligence now transmitted by wireless.
This interference is done away with
by assigning to the stations of each
particular class a definite wave length ,
with which to work. A wave of a par-
ticular length will be picked up only
by a station tuned to receive that
length, and will not interfere with sta-
tions of another wave length. A wave
length of 450 meters has been assign-
ed the Michigan station. Being an ex-
perimental station the local office will

OPEN HOUSE DAY
PROVES BIG SUCCESS
Increased Circulation Witnesses
Amazing Progress of the
"Black Fly."
CAMP DAVIS CLOSES THIS WEEK.
"Open House Day," Saturday, Au-
gust 16, at Camp Davis proved a most
successful affair. It had been widely
advertised and nearly two hundred
people, resorters chiefly from nearby
Mullet Lake and Burt Lake summer
colonies spent the day in camp.
Everything "took" well, the report
has it, from the exhibition of regular
camp work in the morning to the"Good
Night Ladies" at 5:00 p. m.
The program:
9:00-10:00-Regular Camp Work.
11:00-Roll Call.
11:05-Laying Corner Stone at the
new Storehouse. Speeches by Prof.
Johnston and "Les." Keliher
11:45-Aquatic Sports and Foot
Races.
1:00-Buffet LunchMess tent.
2:30--Hall Game, Camp Champions
vs. "All-Stars.
3:30-4:30-Dance. Music by Camp
Orchestra.
4:30-Camp Sing Around Fire.
5:00--Good Night Ladies."
The camp league pennants, one for
each man on the winning team, were
awarded to members of Party "4." The
current number of the "Black Fly"car-
ries a two-column cut of the victors
and their spoils.
Waxing reminiscent the "Black Fly"
tells its readers of the progress it has
made since "Jinks" Otto, "Nig" Kuhn,
"Mort" Hunter, and "Mac" McGee put
it-through its swaddling-clothes days.
Only in its second volume, it has in-
creased its circulation some 3433.333
per cent over last year's total. In
1912 but 15 copies were printed while
this year 530 more of the blue sheets
have been issued. So efficient did the
office force become'that a paper a min-
ute was printed. Next year a special
office is to be given the staff, and if
"Raselues' plans materialize they arc
going to have "some" paper.
The work of the summer camps will
come to an end Friday, August 221
To date not a day has been lost on ac-
count of bad weather, setting a new
record for the camps.
Make Use of Many Fire Extinguishers.
There are 185 fire extinguishers dis-

UNION COMMENCES
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Iliram Cody Homer Heath and Edward
Ketup Appointed ' 'Take
Charge of Work.
WIll ('01MENCE IIIME)DIAT'EILY.
At a recent meeting of the commit-
tee in charge of the campaign for
funds for the Michigan Union, Hiarm
S. ody, '08, Homer H eath, '07, and Ed-
ward Kemp, '12-'14L, were selected to
take personal charge of the work of
preparing the ground for the final
campaign.
These men will each be assigned to
a differenst section of the country, and
will go to all the important alumni
centers, with a view to ascertaining the
amount of financial support which the
Union can expect in each section, and
the plan of campaign which would be
advisable in each instance.
This work will begin immediately,
and when it has been completed, the
committee expects to begin at once on
the final campaign for funds. Thus
far the work has consisted chiefly in
educating the alumni as to the need
for a Union clubhouse, and in ex-
plaining the possibilities of the mil-
lion dollar project.
ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION
PLANS EXCELLENT PltOGAt1.'.
Arrangements Delayed By Negotiations
With iJustice Hmghles, of U. S.
Supreme Court.
As yet the plans of the Oratorical
Association for next year have not
been fully worked out, but the officers
hope to arrange a program which will
include speeches by a number of
world-famous men. Up to this time
arrangements have been retarded by
the fact that Justice Hughes, of the
U'nited States Supreme Court, who was
to have delivered the first address,
was unable to give a definite answer.
He was finally forced to notify the
committee that the press of business
would prevent him from making the
trip to Ann Arbor.
Besides the regular Varsity con-
tests, Prof. R. D. T. Hollister is to give
a recital. Professor Fulton, who has
collaborated with Professor Trueblood
on a number of books, will also be on
the program. The Oratorical associa-
tion play has not yet been selected,
but an attemept cilii he made to stage
something more elaborate -than any-.
tlsiisg that has yet been produced.
C. P. Wang---"Why the Foreign Stu-
dents Come to America."
W. P. Cheng-"Political Relations
Beteween Chin asnd the United States."
A. A. Scheerer "'olitical Cosdition
in the Philippine Islands, and the
Question of Independence."
Juan Bonilla-"South America." Il-
lustrated lecture.
W. W. Welsh-"How We Are Cosmo-
politan."
V. P. Maw and Y. F. Yabin Hsu-
"China."
Lectures by faculty men will be of
the same nature as those given last
year, though the indications are that
there will be a greater demand for
them. As in the past, only a very small
proportion of these lectures will be
read from manuscript. In each town
in which the lectures are, given there
is a local committee which reports to
the central committee at Ann Arbor.
In this report is embodied the judg-
ment of the local committee as to
whether or not the talk went over the
heads of the aundience, and in what
respects it might be improved. This
opinion is brought to the notice of the
lecturer, and in this way it is hoped to
eliminate any features of the work
which are open to criticism.
SHAKESPEAREAN RECITAL
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS
"ttc, AdoA bout Nothing" Receives
Great Applause From
Large Audience.
With a cast that might have done
credit to any metropolitan play, Prof.
Thomas C.Trueblood's class in Shakes-
pearean reading gave its second recital
of Much Ado About Nothing in Sarah
Caswell Angell Hall last evening be-
fore a capacity audience.
In spite of the change of cast in ev-
ery scene and the length of the play,
which lasted two and one-half hours,
the audience was kept constantly in-
terested.
The success of the play is doubtless
due to the keen enthusiasm and talent
of the class and its perfect team work,
though much must be accredited to
Louis Eich, graduate, who has been
starring in all the recent Shakespear-
ean plays, Edward Moseman, '14, who
has been playing initial roles in the
Union operas, "The Prosenium," and
other plays, and Jabin Hsu.
The opening scene . in Leonato's
house, struck the keynote of the play.
The acting of Louis Eich as Leonato,
Moseman as Claudio, Hsu as Don Pe-
dro, Claude Swift as Benedick, and
Miss :Lena J. Kraku as Beatrice being
especially noteworthy.
