A map showing how the Univer-sity may be camouflaged is now on display in the camouflage room in the basement of Spooner-Thayer museum. An aerial disguise for the buildings and grounds of the Univer-sity was the assignment given camouflage students by T. D. Jones, professor of design.
From large maps of the campus the students discovered that the stadium is visible from a height of 20,000 feet. The smokestack and Frank Strong hall, because of their peculiar shapes, gave the camoflagers no little trouble, to say nothing of Potter's lake with its disturbing ability to reflect light.
Foliage Reduces Shadows
"The purpose of the course," said Professor Jones, "is to educate the people so that they can better understand the techniques involved and be able to co-operate intelligently with any camouflage problem that may be carried out."
Shadows present a difficult situation because, from the shadows cast by a building, the aerial observer can tell just what kind of a building it is—barn, factory, hanger, or house. Putting fake foliage around the edge of the roof will produce a jagged, indistinguishable shadow. Point Deceives the Enemy
Paint Deceives the Enemy
"The camouflage exhibit is open to the public at all times," added Professor Jones. "I think that the service men in particular would be interested in seeing the work that has been done."
Painting over half of a large factory building in camouflage colors will make it look like a regular house. Covering a bridge with netting and constructing a fake bridge and road will deceive the enemy from the air. Runways on an airfield are particularly hard to conceal because they are a bright, silver color, and the field itself covers an immense amount of territory. The runways may be painted over to tone in with the surroundings, and a fake town

built on the field will confuse the enemy.

Hamburg, Germany, was an example of unsuccessful camouflaging. A bridge was camouflaged and a fake one set up further down the river. The plan fell through because the enemy neglected to change the color of the fake vegetation with the changing season.
A decoy gun made of plaster of paris often deceives the enemy.
Bernard Frazier, instructor in design, constructed a technique for dummy rocks which was adopted by the army last year.
The infra-red photo is used to detect fake constructions. This film cuts the haze and reveals any faked grass or foliage not painted with ultra-violet paint. False trees take on a black-out appearance in the picture.
Precision Bombing Vital in U. S.
Precision bombing is the type most concerned with in this country. A camouflage good enough to cause the enemy to delay 25 seconds will give those below time to get their anti-aircraft guns aimed. The purpose here is to confuse and delay the enemy rather than to hide the object.
Garnished netting made by weaving strips of cloth into meshes is one of the most widely used camouflage materials. Paper, seaweed, and chicken feathers can be used. Or the nets may be of fish net, chicken wire, or especially made wire netting. Spun glass on wire gives effect of grass.
A Civilian Defense Project
The camouflage class at the University was started by the Office of Civilian Defense two years ago. Selected universities and schools over the country sent representatives to Ft. Belvoir, Va., to study at the army camouflage school there. Professor Jones represented the University and is the coordinator of the course here.
