Historic Fire To Be Rebuilt At Induction
Founding of Lawrence
And University Recalled
By Flames on Altar Before University Seal
Ralph Miller of Chanute, as representative of the class of 1941, will apply the torch that will kindle a new fire before the great seal of the University, typhling the carry-ons, and teaching learning on Mt. Oread. The ceremony, a climactic part of the fourteenth annual New Student Induction, will be held Thursday evening, beginning on North College hill and concluding in the stadium more than a thousand new students.
Eighty-three years ago last August, 1, a party of 29 immigrants who had come to found a Free State city, camped on M. Otread, in the center of what is the Corbin Hall block. The site of their campfire became the site of the first building of the Martial Academy, a code marked by a hearth and fire ladder over which Torch chapter of Mortar board presides.
Today an Anniversarv
Incidentally, it was just 83 years ago today that the second party, this one containing 119 persons, reached the little town of thatched huts. This party contained the wives of more than a dozen colonists, ensuring the permanence of the new town.
The symbolism of the firefighters of the pioneers is carried still farther in the New Student Induction ceremony, by the carrying of a lighted torch from the North College site through the campus, to the final ceremonies in the stadium. There the torch is received by the alumni secretary, representing the 20,000 alumni of the university, and it is used in illumination to throw the hands of the representatives of the various classes until a freshman receives it, and lights the fire on the altar.

These persons will represent the senior, junior and sophomore groups, while for the graduates and the freshmen, persons selected by the presidents of the student councils will serve.

Rock Wool Made From Kansas Rock
Tests on additional samples of Kansas rock, to determine its usability for the manufacture of rock wool, for house insulation, are being carried on at the University by the Kansas Geological Survey. Results will be announced in a supplemental bulletin, soon to be issued, according to Dr. K. K. Landes, assistant state geologist.
Norman Plummer, member of the staff, spent several days last week making the rock wool from the vane.
Samples for the present tests were taken from one or more quarries at a dozen Kansas towns, including Manhattan, Garden City, Coffeville, Scotty City, Newton, Pumonis, Scott City, La Crosse, Leroyne, Aichhorn, Lorraine, and Cheotpa.
H. W. Bouck, secretary of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, and a small group of business men, were at the University Friday afternoon when the Manhattan samples were being run through the crucible. While tests have not been completed, the rock wool from the Manhattan rock was obviously of high quality, Dr. Landes said.
Rock wood is made by heating limestone and shale, with sometimes a bit of sand added, to a temperature of 1500 degrees centigrade—seven times as hot as boiling water—and pouring the melted rock into a steam jet under 60-pounds pressure. This produces the stones which matches tinted down, and is very useful for any insulating purpose.
