Linnaeus, Lysenko Compete On Botanist's European Tour
The bedroom that Linnaeus, the famous botanist, had papered with pictures of plants taken from old books, was one of the many interesting things that Professor and Mrs. A. J. Mix saw on their tour of Europe this summer.

Professor Mix accompanied by his wife, an instructor in English at the University, left Lawrence on June 6 and sailed from New York for Europe on June 13.
They went first to Norway and traveled by bus and boat through its mountains and fjords. They visited Trondheim in the north, the second largest city of Norway, in the land of the midnight sun. From Trondheim the couple went to Oslo, the capital of Norway.
"There is more hardship in Norway and in England than in any of the other countries of Europe," Prof. Mix said.
Professor Mix and his wife had been in Europe in the summer of 1939, when he had a year's leave of absence from the University. They lived in London and Stockholm and traveled in Norway, but when the war broke out they returned to this country.
This summer Professor Mix was scheduled to attend the International Botanical Congress in Stockholm, July 12-27, so he and his wife decided to fly from Oslo to Stockholm.
After boarding the flying boat for Stockholm, they found that the captain of the flight was one of the friends that they had known in Canada during the war at the "Little Norway" pilot training base.
The captain immediately invited them up into the pilot's compartment of the flying boat, and they stayed there for the rest of the flight.
The congress that Professor Mix attended is held every four years in peacetime, the last congress having met in 1935. The congress meets so that prominent botanists from over may discuss recent developments (for more information) on their researches, and revise the rules for naming plants.
Professor Mix was the delegate from the University of Kansas and read before the congress a paper entitled "Studies in the Genus Taphrina." The Taphrina is a genus of parasitic fungi that deforms leaves.
An interesting development occurred at the conference, he said, when a party of four Russians appeared. They had been invited, but had not sent word that they would attend. The Russians promptly asked for and got a special evening session of the congress and at the meeting delivered a speech on the subject of genetics, a branch of biology dealing with heredity and variation.
It seems that the official Russian version of genetics denies all of the work done by Mendel, accepted authority in that field. The Russians proposed that a theory which was developed before Mendel's and emerged upon by a Russian named Lysenko be adopted.
Lysenko's theory holds that there is an inheritance of acquired traits. For example, blacksmiths generally begin in large right arm because of their occupation; therefore blacksmiths' children ought to have large

right arms, too, whether they are blacksmiths after they grow up or not.
"The Russians were obviously there," said Prof. Mix, "just to spread their version of the theory and after presenting it they promptly left, taking no part in the other meetings of the congress.
It's Figger Fun
On a Sunday while the congress was still in session the delegates went to Uppsala where the oldest university in Sweden is located and where Linnaeus once taught. His town house, laboratories, and experimental gardens are still kept as he left them.
"Incidentally, the Russian argument was openly criticized, especially by the British delegation."
Speaking of the various cities they visited Professor Mix said: of Venice, "Venice is unspoiled and as beautiful as everyone says it is. No number of tourists could ever spoil the experience," crowded with pilgrims there for the Holy Year;" of Stockholm, "Very clean and beautiful."
It was there that Professor Mix saw the bedroom of Linnaeus that impressed him so much. After the congress ended Professor and Mrs. Mix traveled to Germany and from there through the French alps to Italy.
"I italy and France are almost pacifistic. They are fed up with the previous war and although they are afraid of Russia they are not inclined to think about resistance."
"Economic recovery seems to be going on very well and most of Europe is approaching normal," he said.

Two Big Firms Need Engineers
Two large firms have recently notified T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, of engineering positions which are open in their plants.
In a telegram to Dean Carr, W. H. Nance, chief of engineering personnel for North American Aviation corporation, said, "Increases in manpower requirements now permit us to employ more recent college graduates for work in this division. Men with degrees in aeronautical, mechanical and electrical engineering are preferred."
J. H. Blair, general supervisor of the design department at Gary Steel works, Gary, Indiana, writes, "We are looking for a few mechanical, civil and electrical engineering graduates for work in our engineering drafting rooms at Gary, Indiana, making designs and shop detail drawings of mechanical, electrical and structural work such as would be required for maintenance repairs and extensions to large manufacturing plants or steel mills."
