According to Miss Lena Barber, biology department, who obtained these reproductions, they will be hung in the laboratory for the In* splration ot science students al though the subjects are suitable for any classroom or library. Richly colored, the picture of Al- hazen, who was born 965 A.D., shows this Arabian mathematician demonstrating to some friends his theory of the refraction of light by means of a stick thrust into a pool ot water. No less interesting la that ot Christian Huygens, In which the Dutch astronomer and physicist ex plains to Louis XIV and members of the French Academy hla wave theory of light. Fraunhofer ia represented as an enthusiastic young man explaining to a skeptical friend his method of reading and measuring the dark lines oC the spectrum by means o( the spectroscope, an Instrument of his invention. These pictures depicting optical progress and the advance of science through the ages were con ceived by Bausch & Lomb as a pic torial record to focus the mind of the student on characters and con tributions of great significance to the human race. In tlie Scientific Bureau of Bausch & Lomb, the discoveries and laws of science are applied dally to a boat of problems in every scientific field. Here Is a centrifuge microscope built to whirl tiny cells at enormous speeds so that biologists moy study the effects of gravity, or a new ophtlialmic lens designed to aid the vision of those in whose eyes the human lens has lost Its youth ful elasticity. Or here Is a spec trograph wliose sensitive optics soparate the spectrum lines to de tect minute Impurities in metals. AH of these developments. In volving some 4,000 sclentillc Instru- tnents, depend upon the accumula tion of scientific knowledge through the nges. They are built not only on the accomplishments of modei'n B, & L, scientists, hut juat ns surely on those of Alhazen, Fraunhofer, Huygens, and other optical pioneers. Wake Forest Society Debates Co-Educational Question The Phllomathesian Literary Society of Wake Forest College presented a program to its sister society, the Phllaretlan Literary Society, on Monday night, March 7, In the Phllaretlan Society hall. In charge of the program was Henry Ward, president of the vis iting society. He Introduced Page Acree, who gave a comical talk on "Love," following which Sloane Guy sang "I Love You Truly." A debate was then presented on the query, "Resolved, A coeducational Institution should be established, consisting ot Meredith and Wake Forest." Debating on the negative were Sloane Guy and Jim Potter; while on the afBrmative were Joe Leonard and Henry Ward. Each side considered the financial dues- tlons Involved In a union of the two Bchools. The members of the affirmative argued that expenses would be decreased by having only one administrative force and by eliminating the cost of trane- portatlon between Wake Forest and Meredith. The negative con tended that expenses would be in creased by students' needing more clothes to attend a coeducational institution- other points debated were the effect suoh a move would have on the scholastic standards of the students, upon the faculty members, and even upon the later lives of the students. A decision was not deemed necessary. This program was given by the Phllomotheslan Society In return for a progrom given in Wake For est some time ago by the Phllare tlan Soclety- ROUND-THE-DORMITORIES FLIGHT By DOT GRBENE Members From Faculty Chosen By Committee Dr, Mary Lynch Johnson, Miss Lois Byrd and Miss Norma Rose liave been chosen by tho student merabera of the nominating com mittee to serve with them on this committee.

A dangerous trip and one which called for fortitude and persever ance! When we started on our Round-the-Dormltorles Flight we had to strengthen our reinforce ments before we- could face the changes from torrid good-will and frigid sarcasm. But off we set to discover the natural resources of the girls at Meredith. First of all we visited the Jun gle princesses, herders ot ele phants—alias Aileen Snow, Mlnet- ta Bartlett, Bebe Dickerson, and Rosanna Barnes. Then we discov ered some of the most amazing species of elephants ever seen by man (or woman), On good au thority we found out that there were yellow, white, gray, blue- green, black, and even the more familiar pink elephants. These an imals had been trained in the most remarkable ways. Some swing from bracelets, others from necklaces, others assumed the ap pearance of clocks, still others posed on bookends. and some even sat on beds. These elephants were truly amazing, both in form and In use. Other beasts were to be found, outatanding of which were the beara. The trainers ot these ani mals declared them to be the most wonderful college pets obtainable. Carolyn Langaton takes hers to bed with her every night, Ella Eddlns sometimes indulges In this practice. "Teddy" Baucum adopt ed several as namesakes. Nora Binder received hers as a Chrlst- mae present. These bears seemed to be for no other purpose than bed-altters-on. We now turned to the domestic animals and discovered quite an array. The dogs ruled the situa tion, for at the front barked Lou ise Johnson’s Scotties and the huge, fuzzy, silky affairs owned by "Jlliny" Watson and Virginia Frostel, Many other bow-wows hold sway in countless numbers of rooms, also, Meredith can even boast a roos ter (stuffed, ot course!) named Chanticleer by its proud owner, "DImp" Marshburn, And nothing, absolutely nothing, can top the absurd rabbit which rules In Mil dred Ann Crltcher’s room. There are rnnny old-fashioned lassies at Meredith, a fact proved by tho numberless dolls. "Pinkey” and "Margie" own sissy ones with bonnets end long curls. Kazue QIRLS- has a Japanese one; Mary Uster Williams boasts of a rag doll and dares anyone to call it lopsided. Margaret Lanier has a larger- than-life baby doll with a blue organdy dress and "Mart” em broidered on It In pink letters. We were forced to fly to the next point before we had fully examined all of the dolls at Meredith. This next stop was composed of curios and miscellaneous collec tions. "Coco" Burns is Inordinate ly proud of her coon. Mary Stew art and Nannie Margaret Brown upset second floor "A” with their brass bell on the door—and Nora holds aloft with glee a huge bone which she declares belonged to a freshman who studied too hard- Such were our flndlngs on our flight. Had there been more time, who knows but what we might even have unearthed countless skeletons in closets? (Note; This flight Is flctional. The facts stated In this account may, however, be proved beyond a doubt. At least we hope sol) Marilyn: "What's the Idea of the suitcase, Mr. Morrison? Going away?"

Hargett St., Raleigh Boon-Iseley’s LOCAL TUENTS PRESmOPERA Grand Opera Features John Finlator as Ernst Hoffmann Raleigh's opera season made a successful debut and flnis Friday night, March 12, when the Raleigb Little Theatre, with the coopera tion of the W. P. A. Federal The atre, presented "The Tales of ^loff- mann." This Is the first time a full-length opera has been pro duced by the Raleigh amateur op era company. The opera is the story of the celebrated German romantic writ er, Ernst Hoffmann, and his three tragic loves Is told In the perform ance of tho opera. Hoffmanni drinking beer with a group of students in a Nuremberg tavern, begins to relate his tale, and the following three acts were devoted to his three love affairs. The production featured a large cast of local singers, beaded by John Finlator carrying the role of the unfortunate Hoffmann, main tained throughout an even per formance. There were three out standing scenes in the presenta tion, and Miss Florence Boon, with her excellent soprano, was fea tured in two of them. Zolf Potts also received commendatloa be cause be did three roles well, and the comic, song of Frats with its true comic art rocked the audi ence. There were ten solo roles, including sopranos, mezzo-sopra nos, tenors and baritones, support ed by a chorus of thirty-seven. Both the scenery and executors and the costumers deserve recog nition for their contribution to the success. The Raye Orchestra pro vided fine accompaniment, and John Farmer Cole, as musical di rector and conductor, managed to keep the pace of the opera going and to guide his cast over any rough spots. Wilbur Dorsett’s stage direction was noticeably good In the first part of the third act, in the portrait scene In the last act, and In several of the in dividual scenes.
