Rallying Places Are Universal But Rock Chalk Pile Is Novel Among American Universities
The establishment of a traditional rallying place at the University of Kansas where thousands of husky-throated Kansans may gather to light bonfires and chant their songs and yells in the years to come, will be by no means a novel thing among American university students. Rock Chilk pile will have the more admirable characteristic of the originality.
A few years ago the students nt the University of Utah constructed a giant "U" on the mountain side above Salt Lake. The collegiate letter was made from stones of all sizes and laid out in marquis marks, but it is not a historic tradition such as the Kansas Rock Chalk pile will be.
Around the old revolutionary canyon on the campus at Princeton is the rallying place for students. This russet-colored building is called Princeton hall. It is said that Princeton students all over the world are able to recall, with quickening pulses, the fervor and enthusiasm attending the sport, and they are always called for "the cannon."
Campus to Be Beautified
Landscape Gardner Is Planning Additional Flower Beds
At Illinois, the resounding echo from a multitude united in its college yell, and the steady glow of well-defined murals on the building, about which these characteristic activities are regularly held. The building is in front of one of their old buildings.
The Yale fence is so much a part of that institution that anyone who goes to Yale must attend a small section of the old fence, which at one time completely enclosed the campus and upon which only zonies remain. The fence is retained to form a connecting link between the old and the new, and to maintain the continuity of all that
A number of improvements on the campus are being planned this spring, according to *A*V Van Hornebeck, landscapes gardener of the department of buildings and grounds. More than sixty evergreen trees will already be planted in Scotch pine, red cedar, Australian pine and several varieties of juniper.
New sod will be placed on the ground in front of the engineering buildings and at other points on the campus where the grass has been worn away? The circular and triangular flower beds will be replanted in diminutions of Hornbelt canes, sylvia splendens, roses and pettunia.
So the story continues. Harvard has its distinguishing feature. California has its "C." Chicago has its "seen bench," Wisconsin has its cairn, but only Kansas can have a Rock Chalk pile and only a Rock Chalk pile in which each stone has a hole in it. When we preserve the abundance of sentiment that finds expression in such a tradition.
In the greenhouse Mr. Horneckeb is a large variety of flowers including a new clistered geranium which he developed himself by crossing. A number of geraniums and saprophytes are planted at various points on the campus.
Few Engineering Theses Being Written This Yea
Only a small percentage of the seniors in the School of Engineering are presenting theses to the faculty this year, according to one survey. These are not required for graduation there are a number of seniors who are sufficiently interested in their fields that they have prepared them optionally. Another group is found in the electrical department, where 20 per cent of the seniors have prepared them. This is much smaller than the percentage in the same degree program. The largest number comes from the mechanical department. Only two chemical engineers are preparing these years. Architectural and industrial engineers rarely present them, but did participate in constructive work in the summer.

"Death Noise" Discussed
Strange Phenomenon Kills Fish in Few Seconds
(Release Version)
Washington, May 6.—A "dethenose" instead of a "death-ray," the phonemonion discussed recently before the National Academy of Sciences (NYU) on the use of Loomis, of the Johns Hopkins University. The "dethenose" would have been inaudible to human ears, but it consisted of sound waves just the time that the other aquatic animals in vessels of water, in less than a minute.
The two researchers generated exceedingly high-frequency sound waves by means of electrical apparatus. The waves were produced at a rate of from 100,000 to 400,000 to the second, the upper limit of audibility to human
cars is between 20,000 and 30,000. If a beam of these sound waves is directed at the surface of a water column, Professor Wood stated, the surface is heaped up in a mound. The vibrations heat the water, a rise of nearly 10 inches, in one minute having been recorded.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Chemical Engineering Practice
The work is non-reimmediate and independent of plant control, the whole attention of the students being directed to the task.
INDIPIDAL and practical training at five industrial plants are important features of the Graduate Course in Chemical Engineering. These include Boston, Mansfield, Buffalo, N.Y., in plants producing pulp and soda water, pulp soap, acidic chlorine, heavy acids and metals.
The more important operations of Chemical Engineering, as typified by the above processes, are studied systematically by tests and experiments on actual plant apparatus, thus fusing theoretical knowledge with practical engineering and correlating these principles with practice.
Registration is limited, as students study and experiment in small groups and receive individual instruction.
Admission requires adequate preparation in chemistry and engineering. Able students can complete the requirements for admission.
