Mineral Collection On Display In Haworth Hall
A geologist would describe minerals as "naturally occurring substances, having a distinctive set of physical properties and a composition expressible by a chemical formula." However, the ordinary layman has to see a group of these substances to realy understand the meaning of that definition. millions of years ago and specimens from the a piece very recent
The University Mineralogical collection in Haworth hall has a sizable representation of these products of mother nature.
The collection, which was begun when the geology department was formed, now has about 2,000 specimens, representing nearly 500 species, and valued at more than $4,500.
These minerals and mineral bearing rocks vary widely in color, form, age, and source. The sizes of the specimens vary from some that are microscopic to a piece of crystalized calcite that measures 3 by 4 feet. Blue azurite, green malachite, and yellow carnotite are just three of the many beautiful colors and shades of the minerals and rocks. The interesting crystalline shapes are likewise widely varied.
There are representatives of rocks which were formed on the earth
Virtually every corner of the world is represented in the collection, which has grown through acquisitions by the department, purchases, donations and loans.
Display in Haworth Hall
Much of the collection is on permanent display in 27 cases in Haworth hall. Sixteen of these cases are in the library, the others are on the stair landings. Each speciman has a liabel, giving its name and source. They are arranged in groups with a brief explanation of each group.
Tau Kappa Epsilon Holds Conclave
Credit for the arrangement of the valuable collection of rocks goes to Benedict Bagrowski who has been its curator for the past two years. Bagrowski came to the University from the Milwaukee Public museum and through his efforts the collection has been developed into the best of its kind in the state.
Eighty-five delegates from Kansas State, the University of Missouri, and Washington University of St. Louis arrived yesterday to attend the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity conclave this weekend. The Kansas City and Topeka alumni associations are also present.
Today's program will start with the group attending the Plymouth Congregational church in a body. There will be a big dinner at noon. The conclave will wind up with reports by the delegates on activities of their respective chapters.
Leland F. Leland, national historian, and editor of Inter-Fraternity Monthly magazine, is presiding over the conclave.
Conferences on rushing were held yesterday afternoon, followed by a banquet in the evening at which Mr. Leland discussed future problems of fraternities.

True to the promise of Fred Robertson, I.S.A. president, the queen was honored with ceremony. Following intermission the dancers formed two rovs between which the "Sweetheart" and her attendants were escorted to the center of the ballroom.
Robertson introduced each of the attendants, presenting them nose-gays. Miss Landrith, introduced last, was given a bouquet of roses.
When called upon for a speech, she was able to say, "It's sure swell."

The letter is an answer to an invitation to attend the University's Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration. It was taken to the Governor by a group of students, who made the trip to Topeka on horseback.
"The youth of Kansas are worthy of the strong heritage—of the pioneers," said Governor Payne Ratner in a letter received by Chancellor Malott yesterday.
The Governor likened the group to "the people who rode the old trails of three quarters of a century ago."
