The efforts of the junior mar, shale, assisted by the junior class, were well rewarded with compli~ mentary comments by both profes- sors and spectators. Approximately 2500 persons were counted by nine- thirty and, taking everything into consideration, there were probably three thousand Vieitors before the evening: was over. While the main purpose of Open House was to Show students in actual work in the laboratories, several “extra" exhibits were arranged to entertain the less scientifically minded visitor. One parent was heard to say that the exhibits even surpassed the Hall of Science exhib— its at. the Fair for interest. Library interests Many Dean Penn believes that the wid- er distribution of the exhibits this year made it much easier for the visitor to get around to the various departmental} demonstrations, and there wasn’t too large a crowd in a laboratory at any one time. The students" work was more out» standing this year than ever before. They took over the job of making the experimeuto work right and of explaining them to the inquiring public without any misgivinga, and went right ahead without any slip- upe. This all helped to show the vis- itors the capability and responeibilo ity of Armour students. The library exhibit proved an oasis to the less scientifically minded individual and to others who wanted to rest before going on to the other exhibits. Many Obs and AllS were heard, especially from the feminine attendance viewing the photography in the salon. Old books and prints are always interesting to look at, and it surprised many students and parents to see such a collection in Ai'mour’s small library. Lumincocent Exhibit Fopular One of the most popular exhibi— tions from the standpoint of numbers of spectators was the fluorescent light demonstration by some of Pro. lessor Freud’s students. A salt callv ed luminol was dissolved in sodium hydroxide; potassium fcrrlcyaniclc was dissolved in hydrogen peroxide, and the two solutions mixed in a jar of cold water. When the electric lights were turned off, a soft bluish glow emitted from the jar, which amazed the spectators. A simple reaction to the chemist, but very deep and wonderful to the layman. Most of the friends of the students and the younger folk were attracted by the sensational and spectacular displays. Students seemed interested in some of the work of departments other than their own, and parents wanted to ace the kind of work be» ing done by their own boy. Dance Held in Gym Quite a few persons were awed by the dial telephone control of house- hold appliances. Many of the ladies probably were dreaming of the time when this could be installed in their own home. The Tesla coil on the stage in the mission fascinated many visitors. When the exhibit doors were closed, many of the visitors went up to the gym and forgot their tired feet to the tune of Wilson~B‘arnett’s orchestra. The dance was almost too well attended, but things like that are usually soon forgotten while the scientific exhibits are impressed on the minds of the visitor for some time. dunner, Senior €EVEl$ Wield. Ecwage Plant Yesterday the junior and senior civils visited the North Shore Treat- mant Plant of the Sanitary District of Chicago, which is one of: the world’s largest plants using the ac» tivated sludge process. After being excused from their classes at 12:20, they met at the pump and blower house, located at Harvard street and McCormick road, at 2:00 O’clock and they witnessed the pumping of the North Shore sewage from Fullerton avenue to Win’netka.
