Tlhis lecture was given as a prelimi-iID flDAM AIIuOIiE nary to the annual trip to Niagara Falls which will take place next week- end. The trip is to be made under the guidance of Professor Hussey. Many views of Niagara Falls and its vicinity were shown in conjunction with the lecture. A complete outline of the geologic history that led up to the formation of the falls was given. Glaciers Formed Lakes "Millions of years ago, when the sea covered all the locality of Niagara Falls, the materials were laid down which make up the cliff over which the falls now plunge," stated the lec- turer. "Then came the glaciers scooping out the earth to make great hollows which the Great Lakes now occupy, and from these lakes the water that n'hakes the Falls. At one time the outlet for the upper lakes was along the Ottawa river past the present city of Ottawa in Canada," said Professor Hussey, "but later an upheaval in the North caused a return to the old out- let." "The Falls are slowly retreating," he declared, "the Horseshoe Falls on Jhe Canadian side at the rate of six feet per year, and the American Falls at about one foot per year. The great diffierence in the rate is due to the fact that only about six per cent of the total volume flows over the Ameri- can side, the other ninety-four per cent going over the Horseshoe Falls. The Falls in this country are about ten feet higher than those in Can- ada." Interesting Trip Is Planned "Many thrills are in store for those taking the trip," Said Prof. Hussey. "There will be a trolley trip along the river gorge, the tracks running very close to the edge of the stream. There is the trip in the little steamer, 'Maid of the Mist,' which noses its way close up under the great cataract until it seems to capsize, when it whirls about andreturns safely. There is also a trip over the giant whirlpool in a lit- tle car suspended from a cable." MANY STUDENTSE ENROLL A T CAMP According to a report received yes- terday from Prof. George R. La Rue, director of the University Biological station on Douglas lake in the north- ern part of the southern peninsula of Michigan, there are 72 students en-,. rolled for the course offered there during the summer. Of these 49 are graduate students, 22 are from the College of Literature, Science, an'd the Arts, and one is a student in the ' School of Education. According to records, the number enrolled at present is approximately the same as last year, and Prof. La-' Rue expects several more to enroll before the end of the week. The sta- tion opened last Monday. SHAW TO GIVE ADDRESS Wilfred B.

During his undergraduate days at the University of Minnesota he filled for two years the position of varsity cheer leader, or rooter king, as the job is called in Minneapolis. He was active in campus dramatics at the northern university, and both before and after receiving his diploma appeared on the professional stage with a stock com- pany in St. Paul. In referring to his St. Paul experience in a recent in- terview, Bohnen declared that a baw- ling out he received for tardiness from the director of this company had since been late to a rehearsal. After graduation, the actor was call- ed back to the university to direct the most gigantic enterprise in the athlet- ic history of Minneapolis. He organ-. ized and directed, during the fall of the year 1923, the campaign to raise $2,000,000 for the erection of the me- morial stadium. His efforts resulted in the securing of the funds and the completion of the structure. For a short time. after this, Bohnen continued his professional work in St. Paul, going from there to the Goodman Memorial theater, Chicago. He joined the Rockford troupe as leading man this summer. The en- thusiasm with which his performance in "The Letter" was received has giv- en local playgoers reason to believe that a series of interesting roles are 'I ' INoohrgmsshdld -I DAILY TRYOUTS Students enrolled in the Sum- mer Session and desirous of oltaining practical journalistie experience may report at "the offices of The Summer Mlich1am Daily in the Press building be- tween 2 and 5 o'clock any after- noon this w'eek.
