'Christ As Apothecary . . .'
Drug Display Features Chemicals In Scriptures
Designed by University professors to represent a stained glass Gothic style window, the point display of Biblical drugs and chemicals set-up in the window of the Round Corner drug store is a colorful and unique exhibit.
Centered in the window is a purple shield lettered in white, identifying the window as being a display of "Drugs and Chemicals in the Scriptures." Be beneath, in smaller letters is a passage from Exodus 30:25. "And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary; it shall be an holy annointing oil."
Below the shield is an open Bible, and below it is a picture of Christ as an apothecary. This picture is taken from a seventeenth century German painting representing Christ as an apothecary of the soul.
Flanking the center shield, are two smaller gothic signs, identifying the chemistry exhibit on one side, and the pharmacy exhibit on the other. Mortar Represents Pharmacy
Representative of pharmacy is a seventeenth century mortar and pestle from the collection of Prof. L. D. Tavenhill. Beneath the mortar are our shelves, containing 13 drugs that are mentioned in the Bible. These include wormwood, sugar, mustard, oriander, olive oil, cinnamon, myrrh, aloe, camphor, mint, beeswax, frankincense, and almonds.
The chemistry side of the window is symbolized by a retort. Beneath the retort are four shelves holding 13 chemicals mentioned in the Bible, as collected by Dr. M. E. Weeks, professor of chemistry. These chemicals, art of Dr. Weeks' permanent display located in Bailey Chemical Laboratories, include gold, silver, tin, iron, sulfur, sodium carbonate (referred to as Nitre in the Bible), lime, salt, sphalt (as Slime in the Bible), stibite, sand, and glass.
The window is bordered on either de by a palm tree. Each set of selves is topped by a candelabra, embolic of the seven original nurhes.
professors Design Display
Dr. R. A. Bowers, professor of pharmacy, designed the window with a help of Dr. Weeks, professor of chemistry. Dr. Bowers has had similar days of some of the drugs mentioned in the Bible, and Dr. Reeks has a permanent exhibit of chemicals mentioned in the Bible. com the two separate exhibits, theea of a joint display originated. he two departments collaborated to reduce the impressive exhibit in the window of the Round Corner drug store at Eighth and Massachusetts. The old English lettering on the gns was done by Dorothy Wiggins, ne arts senior. Terry Crall, pharmacy dispensing clerk, helped assemble the drug collection. Two students, George Pierron, pharmacy minor, and Robert Allen, pharmacy minor, assisted Dr. Bowers install the window.

Helmet Saves Officer Under Fire In Tunis
Washington, (INS)—The war department today announced that a steel helmet "undoubtedly" saved the life of Lieut. Gen Lesley J. McNair, commander of armed ground forces, when he was wounded on the Tunisian front.
The official war department statement also revealed that the high ranking officer was wounded in the head and shoulder while observing heavy enemy artillery fire at a forward observation post on the north African front. The statement said that the general's wounds were "severe" but not critical.
In an official statement the department expanded on the brief announcement of yesterday when it was revealed that McNair had been wounded in action.

Fraser hall at that time stoop desolately alone in a vast expanse of pasture with only one wing completed. No grading, no grass, and no trees brightened the "campus"; no records of students or University affairs were kept; and a publicity director was badly needed.
Acted as Publicity Director
These flaws the new Chancellor set about erasing, and during his administration the faculty increased from two to eighteen members; the student enrollment, from 194 to 582; and the library, from less than 1000 books to more than 6000. Chancellor Marvin, himself, acted as publicity director.
During this time he became a member of the Douglas County Horticultural Society, which was later responsible for the planting of the trees now growing on the campus. After the ground about Fraser hall had been graded, nurserymen offered to give trees to the University if the administration could manage to have them set out. The offer was accepted; and as a result, a University holiday was proclaimed while students and faculty attended a tree

Champaign, Ill., (INS)—The sands of the desert in Tunisia are not sand at all but are powered dirt.
Under this dirt, powdered as fine as face powder, lies solid clay and the whole area is an excellent battle ground for mechanized monsters of war but of no value for anything else.
This is the analysis of the fairytale land of the sheik, the siren and the foreign legion sent to the University of Illinois Alumni Association by Lt. John Cressman, a chemist.
