Prof. Hobbs Gives Polar Library to 'U'

* *

From the shores of New Zea-
land to the glaciers of Greenland
Prof. Emeritus William H. Hobbs'
surname has been stamped upon
12 physical features of the earth's
surface-possibly a record.
If you're curious where Hobbs
Coast or Mount Hobbs are, they
can easily be found among the
maps and photographs which are
a part of the Hobbs Polar Library
bequeathed to the University yes-
terday by the renowned explorer.
THE ORIGINAL map of Hobbs
Coast, a hundred mile long area
in Antarctica, by Admiral Richard
E. Byrd, and a photo of Mount
Hobbs, a 12,000 foot peak in East-
ern Utah, are part of the 750 vol-
umes now property of the Univer-
sity..
Other features named for the
eminent geologist are two gla-
ciers in the Antarctic, two in
Greenland and one in New Zea-
land; a range of mountains on
Ellsmere Island, near Green-
land; a Hobbs Land, a mountain
and an ice-capped island in
Greenland; and a Cape Hobbs
in the Antarctic.
These were named by British,
Swiss, Swedish, Danish, Austra-
lian, and American explorers in
recognition of the 86-year-old ad-
venturer's studies of glaciers and
work on other polar matters.
* * *
IN THE LIBRARY are also
maps and information gathered

lumbus to the North American
Continent by some 100 years.
HIS THEORY that a rich de-
posit of diamonds lies buried
somewhere in the vast Canadian
wilderness was published early
this year.
Among the 750 volumes pre-
sented by Dr. Hobbs are a num-
ber of gift copies autographed
by their authors. More than 25,-
000 geological pamphlets are in-
cluded in the library, one of
the finest on polar explorations
in the world.
Autographed portraits of
Amundsen, Peary, Wilkes, Stefan-
sson, MacMillan, Byrd, and 80
other Arctic and Antarctic ex-
plorers are part of the library col-
lection.
* * *
Thirty-two volumes of writ-
ing by or about Robert Peary are
included in the library. Hobbs
wrote a biography of the discover-
er of the North Pole which was
published in 1936. His other sci-
entific writings are also among
the volumes.
Because of limited space in the
General Library, the Hobbs polar
collection will remain in its pre-
sent location in the Natural Sci-
ence Building. It is contemplated
that when additional library fa-
cilities are available, a special
Hobbs Room will house the ma-
terial.

Galens Christmas Drive
Will Begin Tomorrow

Long red underwear, fur lined
parkas and tall galooshes will be
in demand by Galens as they pre-
pare for their 23rd Annual Christ-
mas Drive.
The 24 members of the medical
honorary and service society will
be putting in some typical doc-
tor's hours tomorrow and Satur-
day in a sub-freezing weather.
BECAUSE of the number of
strategic positions to be manned
throughout the campus and down-
town area, each member expects
to spend a good deal of each day
with his bucket.
"Friday is our biggest day, as
far as hours are concerned," Jim
Groest, '52M, publicity chairman
for the drive, revealed. "We us-
ually get into position about 8
a.m. and windup the first day's

drive after 11 p.m. when the last
show is over."
The medical students who have
just finished up a round of exams
plan to miss all classes during the
twc day drive.
* * *
THE GOAL for the drive has
been set at $5,000. The Galen's
tag day drive is their only source
of income for carrying on their
Annual Christmas Party and Ga-
len Shop for the children in Uni-
versity Hospital.
The Shop was originated in
1927 on the suggestion of the
social service director of the hos-
pital. It has provided year
around play facilities for the
hospitalized children.
"The Galen Shop and Christ-
mas Party help to fill the void
that children who are away from
their, parents and playmates feel,"
Don Griffith, '51M, chairman of
tre drive, explained.

'U' Physician,
Urges Flu
Vaccinations
"All students who can possibly
do so should have themselves im-
munized against influenza -.s soon
as possible," according to Dr. War-
ren Forsythe, Director of the
Health Service.
Health Service clinical nurses
are prepared to immunize all those
who care to have the service. Stu-
dents price is one dollar while
faculty members and student wives
will be charged one dollar and a
half.
"The season is approaching in
which students are most likely to
be stricken," said Dr. Forsythe. He
advises all students to be immuniz-
ed within the next ten days, cer-
tainly no later than Christmas.
Health Service has recently
purchased a supply of vaccine
but a reduced budget forces the
nominal charge. Last year's free
shots were paid for by a na-
tional committee studying the
disease.
Students desiring the shots may
report to the cashiers desk at
Health Service.

The-complete score of Ravel's
"'Daphne et Chloe" ballet will re-
ceive its Ann Arbor premiere at
'the University Symphony Orches-
tra concert at 8:30 p.m. today.
Conducted by Prof. Wayne Dun-
lap of the School of Music, the
orchestra will also perform the
"Overture to Glinka's opera "Rus-
sian and Ludmille" and Brahms'
"Concerto for Violin and Cello in
A major."
While the second suite of Ravel's
ballet score is frequently perform-
ed, the work in its entirety is rare-
ly played except when the ballet
itself is presented.

The orchestra is composed of 91
students from various schools in
the University. The majority from
the School of Music with the re-
. mainder from the School of Busi-
ness Administration, the College
of Architecture and Design and
the literary college.
Rehearsals by the orchestra are
held five times a week. Three pub-
lic concerts are presented during
the school year plus a special
"Young People's Concert" for the
pupils in the Ann Arbor schools.
Tonight's program will be open
to the public free of charge.

Many of these documents and
photographs were turned over

Dr. Hobbs' adventures in specu-

and are included in the collection.
He advanced proof for the theory
that an Italian explorer beat Co-
