Receive Old Mortar For Anniversary
Many tales of intrigue and romance are behind the 425-year history of the 29-pound Italian mortar and pestle to be exhibited by the School of Pharmacy in connection with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration.
The House of Medici, Goethe, and other figures of history are entwined in the eventful history of the bronze mortar and pestle. Deadly drugs and poisons may have been crushed by the seven-pound pestle in the days when poisoning was considered a delicate art. In all probability $ \textcircled{*} $
a delicate art. In an probability, the Medicis used this venerable mortar to prepare poisons for murdering their enemies.

For Drug Store Display
for display in the 75-year old drug store exhibit at the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration.
The sons of the Igel family have always been physicians or druggists and it is believed that the mortar has been in the Igel family for generations. Goethe visited the Igel apothecary shop in Germany and examined the mortar there. It is said that this shop influenced his writing of "Faust."
An oratorical contest, open to all undergraduates of the University, on some phase of the subject, "Democracy and the American Youth," was announced yesterday by Professor E. C.
