Professor James B. Pollock, of
the
botany department, delivered the firs
lecture of the University program yes
terday afternoon in the Natura
Sicence auditorium on a scientific ex
pedition to some coral islands in th
Pacific ocean.
Prof. Pollock spent several years i
the H~awaiian islands studying plan
life and the formation of coral reefs
He was alsQ a member of the expedi
tion conducted in 1923 unider the aus
pices of the United States Navy among
the islands of the Hawaiian group. Th
expedition of 1923 consisted of trips
to the islands of Wake and Johnson
They were conducted for the purpose
of bettering navigation and to furthe
the knowledge of the sicences. The
navy furnished the means of trans-
portation consisting of two mine
sweepers and two, destroyers and a
aeroplane. There were fifteen scient-
ists -in the party representing almost
every field of science.
Started in 1923
The expedition started in March,
1923, and continued through October,
with short trips dasting two weeks
each to the various places of interest.
The first island to be visited was
Johnson island. This island is sur-
rounded by a Coral, reef miles in dia-
mqeer and could only be reached by
small boat. Only three kinds of plant
life were found here, two creeping
plants and a kind of tough grass. It
was discovered that the islands have
their foundations on the coral reefs
which surroud them. The reefs are
laid in ridges that slope towards the
sea.
Wake ;island, one, in the southern
group, was explored next. Eighteen
kinds of, plant life were found here
and the same kinds of coral- forma-
tions that were found on Johnson is-
land.
Prof. Pollock anade his greates
study of coral formations on the is-
land of Wahoo where he spent over
a year. The main body of the lectu-e
was taken from what was found there.
Slides of the various rock formations
and plant life were the features of the
lecture. Measurements in all detail
were shown of the plant life found
in the coral rock.

LEAGU ELECTS
CARR TO.OFFICEj
Prof. W. L. Carr of the Latin de-
partment was elected to a position on
the council of the American Classical
league at its annual meeting held
recently in New York.
He also read a paper on "Latin in
the Junior High School" at the pub-
lic meeting of the league at Columbia
university last Saturday.}

Check number one for Peter; play
number one for the summer season;
and success number one for the play-
ers!
In short, it would be difficult with-
out the use of utterly undignified and
uncritical platitudes, to fully describe
the success of George Kaufman's "The
Butter and Egg Man," produced by
the Rockford Players last night at
Sarah Caswell Angell Hall. It was
truly a gala event! The theater was
decked out in tis cheeriest colored
chair covers; the play was crammed
full of clever lines that kept the au-
dience in laughter and the Players
romped through the piece with a
finesse and vigor unsurpassed in any
of the recent productions Py that com-
pany.
Young Peter from Chillicothe want-
ed to get into the show business with
$20,000 and experience born of two
benefit productions for the hospital at'

Henderson in the part of Peter Jones
created one of his most effective roles.j

-he developed, and in a natural and
visible fashion, carefully studied and
interpreted.
Elsie Herndon Kearns, in the role
of the hard-boiled, independent wife of
Joe, the producer, was excellent. She
seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the
part, consequently the sharp, pointed
remarks of the thoroughly wise vaude-
ville artist always struck home both
to the bully Joe and to the audience.
Joe, in other worlds, Paul Faust,
made his most outstanding appearance
in his delineation for the young
Peter, of the plot of his show. His
was a part that could easily have been
over-acted but he kept it within
bounds, neither being offensively ar-
rogant nor too exagefated to be pure
burlesque and the sensitiveness of
Joe and his partner, Jack McClure, in
responding to the situations was a de-
tail noticeable and effective.
Amy Loomis was quite typically her-
self as Jane, the little secretary, and
consequently charming. In fact, all
of the characters seemed well cast and
well portrayed-"A whale of a hit,
sweetheart!"
