"I start in the corner, get the first two inches straight, and then give it a swish with the brush. The rest of the roll will be straight."

Intricate Leatherwork Artist Displays Books
If you would like to see examples of a rare old craft done in a twentieth century manner, by no means miss the exhibit of over two dozen books bound in leather by Clara Hatton, former University student and instructor, who is now teaching at Colorado State college in Fort Collins.
Edges of pages were gilded by laying thin sheets of gold leaf on the edges of the books which have already been heavily sized with a preparation of egg yolk.
Miss Hatton, who spent a year in England studying bookbinding and etching, employed the English method of binding cords on many of the books.
Bookbinding has been a craft since 600 A.D., the date of oldest existing decorated leather bindings. Ornamentation without gilt, done by applying hot tools directly to the leather, is called blind tooling.
As Anniversarv Activity
Alumni To Plant Trees
To observe the 75th Anniversary of the University, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, is asking all alumni groups in Kansas to plant University trees this spring on Arbor Day as an Anniversary activity.
"With proper ceremony and in co-operation with local school and city officials, trees should be planted in prominent places," says Ellsworth. The director of the State Forestry, Fish and Game Commission suggests that each alumnus individually plant a University tree this spring. No special kind will be designated, but the kind best fitted to the locality and location is to be planted.
Many of the groups plan to bring or send a gift to the University on its 75th birthday. These gifts will probably be in the form of books, framed pictures, a scholarship, or additions to the loan fund.
Kansas alumni groups will devote their meetings this spring to historical matter pertaining to the University. These groups will also be helping with the success of concerts of University musical organizations on tour over the state this spring and will urge all students to come to Lawrence for the big anniversary celebration.
