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.

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.} him 49 per cent partner and producer in the great New York theater game. 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' home-and he did it!

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!"
