ALUMNI PROPOSE
STUDENTS' ROOMf
Alumni of the University who are
members of the Chemists' club, In
New York City, propose to furnish a
special room for transient members
of the club from the Michigan
chapter, according to a letter re-
ceived from Charles A. Lunn, '11,
and W. G. Gesell, '11, who are in
charge of the arrangements. E
The entire club house is now un-
dergoing extensive a 1 t e r a t i o n s.
Alumni of other universities are al-
so planning to furnish rooms in
accordance with the plan being fol-
lowed by the Michigan group.
Lunn stated in his letter that the
room will be decorated in accord-
ance with the traditions of the
U n i v e r s i t y, and particularly in
keeping with the chemical engt-,
neering department. They plan to

builders. Recently a considerable
amount of money was saved for an
official of a large industrial corpor-
ation as a result of research on a
proposed application of fins or hori-
zontal rudders to lessen the rolling
of a motor yacht.
The naval tank is located i'n the
'West Engineering building, where it
occupies nearly the entire length
of the ground floor of one wing. Its
capacity is 16,000 barrels of water;
it is 100 yards long, 22 feet wide
and 10 feet deep. A novel feature
of the campus fire-fighting service
allows this body of water to be used
E in emergencies, inasmuch as the
tank has a capacity equal to one-
half that of the city reservoir.
The ship models used are fairly
large, measuring from eight to
twelve feet in length. Their size
thus allows for exact construction
from paraffin. Clay moulds are
made and filled with the waxy sub-
stance. The rough, wood model is
then cut to shape by a machine
1 which duplicates the lines of pre-
pared drawings. Ballast is added to
bring the model to the desired wa-
I terline.
