Kester Gives Book Review
"Mysterious Universe" Is Discussed by Physics Professor
That the general conception of the universe is the result of a popular line of thought was the idea gained from the book, "The Mysterious Universe," by Geans, which Prof. E. E. Kester of the physics department of the University reviewed at the Baptist church Sunday morning.
The book is the second that this author has written along the same lines. The first, "The Universe Around Us," is much more interesting, although longer and more difficult to read, in Professor Kester's opinion.
The last of a series of lectures, which have been given by college professors at the Baptist church will be given next Sunday morning when Professor James Naismith talks on the subject, "Physical Education as a Character Builder."

The proposition that a petition be circulated among the students to agree voluntarily not to bring cars on the campus was discussed. No decision was reached. It was decided to take the matter up with the Chancellor. As Chancellor E. H. Lindley is now at Port Aransas, Texas, on a fishing trip, no statement upon the matter could be secured from his office.
