As far as is known the University has the largest collection of this kind 41 the world. It was the ambitin of hegfounders of the library that it mtght beco e the principal collection t 'the literature of the subject in this cun try. rom the outset it was intended tiat the library should serve a double '00pose-to be a treasure-house in wicl, could be accumulated the lit- " pure on the subject, and as com- ple e reference and research library ad could be gathered, serving the ctve fields of the profession as well as the graiduate and undergraduate bdies of theUniversity. Covers All Phases The student who wishes to look a~out the library will find material dling with all phases of -transpor- tation such as waterways, land trs rtation, air and pipe-line trispoation, air servce, public utlijties, and communication. looks are to' be found dealing with society ,proceedings, and there are text and reference books, documents, manuals, periodicals, reports, laws and charters, correspondence and personal papers, prints and pictures, annual reports of companies, and maps and atlases,. The beginings of the Library were made in the fall of 1923 when Prof. John , Worley, of the transportation engineering department, came to the University. Professor Worley had planned and built railroads, had been for many years a consulting engineer in New York City, and knew the backgrounds and the 'literature of his profession. Only Special Collection He had found that nowhere in the country was there anything like. a complete collection of the literature on transportation. Books on vari- ous phases of the subject were in every library in the country, but there was no separate .collection. Dr. W. W. Bishop, librarian of the University, gave invaluabl assistance and advice to Professor Worley, and It was decided to make an indepen- dent unit out of the new collection. Prof. Henry E. Riggs, of the civil engineering department, found space in the rooms of his own department for the first quarters of the library and gave from lis own collection books to help fill the new shelves. Financial assistance was given by Aiex Dow of the Detroit edison com- pany, C. S. Mott of Flint, Roy Chapin o Detroit and the Ford, Reo, Hud- nson, and Dodge Brothers motor com- panies. Purchases made with these Hinds, several large donations from individuals, and the securing of a number of highly important private c"llections gave the library a splen- dd nucleus of material early in its j story. -- - -- ---- - Camp Students Take ExCursion To Mackinaw Party Goes on Two-Hour Boat Trip to 'Northern Resort Center Yoangest Olympian (Assocyated ress ,otoj Thor Solberg (left) and Carl O.

Sunday the"members of the camp enjoyed a two-hour boat ride from Cheboygan to the island, the most attractive and popular ex- cursion taken this summer. A new contest is now in progress- the photographic picture contest. Entries may be made in three classes, pictures of station buildings, pic- tures of classes at work in the field or laboratory, and pictures of an ar- tistic nature. Prizes will be awarded for the best three pictures in each group, and judging from the nega- tives now hanging in the drak room, there should be some interesting re- sults. / The "kid" party last week was an enormous success. After the judges had reviewed the grand march, the following prize-winners were an- nounced: cleverest girl, Elfreda High; cleverest boy, Gene Goellner; fun- niest girl, Dr. Fopeano; funniest boy, Mr. Nottingham; best characters, Mr. and Mrs. Steidtman, as Jack 'and Jill. Ruth Goodwin was responsible for clever decorations, with animal drawings by A. Hershkowitz. For next Saturday night, a special "pyjama dance has been arranged. At last Saturday's bridge party, Mrs. E. P. Cl}eatum and Dr. Brookes were the winners. By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE, NEW YORK, Aug, 1.-0P)-About $700 a second will be the "probable scientific cost of the total eclipse of the sun in New England and Canada August 31. It lasts 100 seconds. Potentially-from the viewpoint of the scientist-this investment is one of the most profitable ways of spend- ing money. it comprises the ex- penses of nearly 30 astronomical ex- peditions. from the United' States, Europe and the Orient, gathered to study' certain mysteries of the sun hidden at all other times from hu- man observation. At first sight the investment value is not apparent. Cgrona to Be Measured The astronomers measure the sun's corona, a lovely halo of white light streaming sometimes 10,000,000 miles out into space. With spectroscopes they try to learn the peculiarities of intense heat of hydrogen, oxygen and other familiar atoms. One of the astronomers going to this eclipse was asked how the value of pure science can be measured in money. "Many years ago," he answered, "in a German laboratory a man by the name of Hertz was making ex- veriments on Hertzian waves. Out of this has grown the whole of wire- less--or radio." Sun a Giant 'Laboratory' The sun during eclipse is a lab- oratory-a gigantic test tube, 90,- 000,000 miles away. It is- a tube which scientific instru-' ments are just beginning to be able to dip .into despite the vast distance. It contains secrets ranging from the beginnings of new kinds of power for machinery and energy for health to long distance weather forecasting and radio static. Probably no group of investors spends relatively as. little money or spreads it as economically as .these astronomers. They give up weeks, sometimes months, to travel, do their own hand labor on instruments and often have everything spoiled by clouds. "What the world does not know is how many new chemicals-things of practical value--have been created since with the aid of the queer "re- lativity" equations, which got their scientific vogue largely from that eclipse.

Ohio State Women Face Strict Rules of Conduct COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 1 .-V)- There will be plenty of studying around sorority houses at Ohio State university here next year, or Dean Esther Allen Gaw will know the rea- son. Here are a few of the laws laid down by the dean for co-ed conduct: A girl must not go crashing into a room where a roommate is study- ing to tell about the date she has just had. That business must wait until morning. Miss Gamnack *Resigns Position at Harris Hall Miss Ellen Gammack, women's sec- retary at Harris hall, student center, has ended her -connection with that organization. Her resignation be- came effective Aug. 1, and Miss Gam- mack 'left Ann Arbor yesterday for her former home in Massachusetts, where she will remain for the dura- tion of the summer period. Next fall Miss Gammack expects to persue graduate studies at Oxford university in ,social sciences. Miss Gammack, a graduate of Smith col- lege, has been here for 3 years.
