Eight Presentations
Arranged for Season
As a unique.feature in the program
offered by the Summer school office
and the alumnae council, the Rock-
ford players will present a stock sea-
son of eight plays with performances
every night except Wednesdaysand
Sundays and with a matinee program
on Saturdays.
The season will open the first day
of Summer school with George S.
Kaufman's "The Butter and Egg Man."
Miss Elsie Kearns who will be with
the company throughout the summer,
will take the part of Fanny Lehman
in this comedy-satire of the theatri-
cal game.
Following four performances of
this,. the company will produce Noel
Coward's English farce "Hay Fever."
The third play will be an old English
burlesque, "Gammer Gurton's Needle"
and will be followed by the Pulitzer
prize play, "Craig's Wife" by George
Kelly.
"Craig's Wife" will run for five per-!
formances, and then "Pigs," the only
revival in the entire season, will open
Saturday evening, July 16, for four
performances. This homely comedy
scored such a hit in the spring sea-
son that requests for its repetition
have come in from all sides.
For the sixth play, opening Friday,
July 22, Bernard Shaw's clever com-
edy on the elder generations, "Fan-
ny's FirstPlay,"has been chosen. It
will furnish the entire company with

monies this morning.
PRESIDENT DELIVERS

RE GRANTED

Engineering and Architecture, and
Prof. J. E. Reighard of the zoology de-
partment, and the complete ban of all
student automobiles for next year were
the principal measures taken by the
Board of Regents in its annual meet-
, g Friday night.
Dean Cooley and Professor Reighard
have both served on the faculty of
the University for more than forty
years. The former was granted a leave
of absence for the year 1927-28, and
his resignation will become effective
June 30, 1928. He entered the faculty
as professor of mechanical engineer-
ing in 1881, three years after he gradu-
ated from the United States Naval
Academy. He has received honorary
degrees from Michigan, Michigan
State, Nebraska university, and Ar-
mour Institute. He has been at one
time or another president of the Ame-
rican Engineering Council, the Ameri-
can Society of Mechanical Engineers,
and the Society for the Promotion of
Engineering Education. In the Span-
ish-American war he was Chief Engi-
neer of the navy, and in the late war
he was educational director of the
Student Army training corps district
including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Il-
linois. ,
Reighard and Huber Are Alumni
Professor Reighard graduated from
the University in 1882, and later studi-
ed at Uarvard and in Germany. He
was from 1895 to 1913 director of the
University museum. He has held nu-
merous research positions with the
state and national fisheries depart-
ments, and was president of the Ame-
rican Fisheries society in 1916.
Dr. Huber is also a University alu-
mnus, having graduated in 1887. Af-
ter that time he studied in Berlin and
Prague, Bohemia. He returned to the
University as an instructor in 1889,
and has served continuously with the
exception of one year spent at the Wis-
tar Institute . of Anatomy. He has
been professor of anatomy and direc-
tor of the anatomical laboratories 
since 1914. He was president of the
American Association of anatomists
from 1913 to 1915, and has beensa pro-
lific writer on scientific subjects.
The plans of the University Senate
for the new University college were
approved by the Board. Gifts pro-
viding an obesrvatory in South Africa,
from Robert P. Lamont, and providing
several scholarships and fellowships
were accepted.
Prof. Clare E. Griffen was appoint-
ed acting dean of the .school of busi-
ness administration to serve during
the leave of absence of Dean E. E.
Day. Prof. Moses- Gomberg was de-
signated as head of the chemistry de-
partment.
Drastic Action Taken On Autos
The announcement that "'no student
in attendance at the University from
and after the first of the semester this
coming fall shall operate any motor
vehicle, except in exceptional and ex-
traordinary cases, when at the discre-
tion of the Dean of Students this rule
may be relaxed," came as the culmi-
nation of several months of debate
and the trial of a compromise plan
of partial limitation.
Harvey C. Emery, instructor in phy-
sical education, was appointed assist-
ant dean of students, to be in charge
of the enforcement of the new regula-
tion. Michigan is the third large uni-,
versity in the country to take such
drastic steps regarding student dIve

Marching in their black robes down State street to Ferry Field,
headed by the faculty and Honor Guard, and receiving their degrees
from the newly appointed Dean G. Carl Huber of the Graduate school,
Michigan's largest graduating class formally entered the ranks of the
alumni this morning in the University's eighty-third annual Commence-
ment ceremonies. One thousand nine hundred and forty-five degrees
were granted to the seniors and the recipients of various advanced hon-
ors, who decked the Field with brightly colored tassels and garments,
before a large audience.
Before the conferring of the di-
plomas, Nicholas Longworth, Speaker f
of the House of Representatives, in-mn
the Commencement address, urged the
seniors to active and public spirited
lives, telling them that "it is far bet-

A series of conferences has been ar-

plan their pre-professional courses
wisely.

He told those who were about to
leave the University that "only by
weaving your very heart and soul
into the fabric of your community,
f your work, your friendships, can you
insure that permanency of result
which is your right and privilege."
He mentioned the position of the
University as the representative of
I the sovereign state, and of the regard
of the institution toward its graduates
he said, "She asks you to consider how
well you have been trained in an en-
vironment of kindness and freedom.

he said, the new alumni have a great
responsibility to their Alma Mater.

Stoddard, '59, was read, in which he
expressed his regrets at not being
,able to attend the convention. The
nzeeting was then tuined over 'o
Wilfred B. Shaw, secretary of the
alumni association.
Mr. Shaw organized, an "Alumni
iiuniversity" and appointed David E.
Heineman '87 as its .president. The
newly appointed president called in
the first stunt on the program. The
class of ',09 entertained the gathering
with selections on the bagpipes and
drums, and with a few songs by the
ciass as a whole. This class was the
only one to put on a class stunt.
The president of the "Alumni uni-
versity" deemed it necessary to call
in a board of '-egents, and to confer
honorary degrees. The regents were
1 chosen from the class of '61, '62, '64,
'70, '87, '89, and '09. The degree of
B.B.S. (big boy scout) was conferred
on I. K. Pond, '89 because he had
failed to put the top on the Union
tower. Other degrees of like,charac-
ter were given to Lee A. White, '10;
John A. Whitworth, '94 and to several
others.
Saturday evening all visitors and
the seniors were entertained by the
annual reception given by the Univer-
sity Senate.

-of the anatomical laboratories, who
was appointed by the regents to fill

and architecture whose resignation
was accepted by the regents, will re-
