has arrived at the northern weather
station of the University on Mount
Evans, according to a message to Prof.
William H. Hobbs, of the geology de-
partment, from Paul 0. Oscanyan,
radio operator of the expedition in
Greenland. The message was picked
up by the local short-wave station of
the R. 0. T. C. under the direction of
Lieut. Richard T. Schlosberg, profes-

with the plans of the expedition or the
conditions in Grenland today," said'
