in our lives. Tie time passed heavily
and slowly away; nothing was said
or hardly thought of but the exhibi-

rehearsing and preparing for it. Eve-

three-story structure, is a memorial
to the late Horace H. and Mary A
Rackham, wealthy Detroit philan-
thropists whose estate made the do-
nation for the building.
No classes will be held in the school,
whose chief purpose, according to
Dean Clarence S. Yoakum, will be to
provide facilities for morethan 30 re-
search organizations on campus and
to state and national scientific and
learned societies.
Materially, the building will be one
of the finest and most permanent of
the University. Its facing of a cer-
tain type of Indiana limestone, never
used here before except for aon
ment, will render itunique on the
campus. It will probably be the last
building of its type erected, since the
famous Dark Hollow quarry, source
of the limestone facing, is now ex-
hausted.

Baird Carillon To Boom First
Greeting To A Freshman Class
A gigantic amphitheatre seating 1,-
100 people, about half the number or-
dinarily accommodated in similar
space, will occupy the entire north
side of the structure, from the first
floor to the second floor mezzanine.
The leading contribution the new
school isexpected to make to the
cultural side of the University will be
in the form of providing a place for
establishing inter-academic relation-
ships, Dean Yoakum has said. Boun-
daries between subjects will be less
sharply distinguished than is usually
found necessary in regular class-
rooms.

In a church bell the clapper swings
from a central pivot in the head of
the bell and strikes either lip of the
bell with full force. In the carillon
1 bell the clapper is held in a position
very close to the point of impact and
is brought into contact with the bell
by the pressure of the carillonneur's
hand or foot on the keys or pedals of
the clavier which transmit this
"stroke" to the clapper by means of
wires. It is not possible or desirable
to create the volume of sound in a
carillon that can be created in a
church bell.
However, the listener to the caril-
lon should more or less determine
where he can hear the bell most sat-
isfactorily to him. In general, he can
not be too close to the bell, for then
the mechanical sounds and the "strike
tone" will be too prominent and un-
