Prof. Wail at N. U.
lectures in ”fieries’

Professor H. S. Wall of North»
western University gave one of the
regular 'l‘uesday»l<‘riday public lec-
tures in 2l7 Chopin at 11:30 last
Tuesday. His subject covered the
theory of continued fractions. He
showed that there is a theory of con—
version like that for power series, but
that the series is still in its infancy.

The talk on Thursday, Dec. 1, was
by l’rol'e. or Oldenburger on alge-
braic aspects of symbolic dynamics.
He showed that as the set of real
numbers splits up into rational nums
hers and irrational numbers, so the
set of ii ional splits up into recur—
rent, trai‘ Live, and other numbers.
Whether or not the famous irrational
numbers “'1‘” and “E" are recurrent
and transitive is still an unsettled
problem, and must be solved before
we. can expect to know much about
these numbers. In dynamics, recur-
reney of a motion is a measure of
the nearncss of the motion to periodic
motion. The motion of the moon is
not periodic, but may trace a recur-
rent motion.

Next Thursday, December 8 at
11:30 in 217 Chapin. Professor Old»
cnburger will lecture on a “New
Theory of Polynomials," an entirely
new point of view that he developed.
in this theory a polynomial is consid-
ered as being a sum of the powers of
the first degree polynomial. Dr. Old-
enburg—er will lecture on the same
subject under the auspices of the,
graduate school of the University of
Pennsylvania on December 15, and on
December 28 before the American
Mathematical Society at the College.

lSO Books From Mrs. Eloy

W l
Armour Library Receives i
i

A collection of about 150 hooksli
was given to the Armour library by!
Mrs. John C. Bley. This collectionl
of books, which belonged to her de~§
ceased husband, contains a number of i
technical volumes which are veryl
valuable because at the present time]
they are out of print. Included in this i
number are Experimental Engineer—i
l'rlg by Carpenter and Dietrich, and?
Engineering Mathematics by Stein—l
mctz.

Mr. Blcy, formerly an Instructor in i
Armour’s mechanical cnginccringi
Department, 1895-97, had a library;
of over 1000 books. He was very in-l
terested in books on arithmetic and,
descriptive geometry, possessing all
large number of books on these sub—‘
jects. At the time of his death, Mr.
Bley was employed as an engineer by
the City of Chicago.

SENIOR DANCE—
(Ceniiimcd from page one)

A small $26.93 Sparton Radio will
be awarded by the senior class to the
holder of the “lucky" number. All
bids must be paid for by 3:30 Fri-
day afternoon and the drawing will
be made by Dean Tibbals about 4 p.m. ‘

Because of the large number of‘
students who are expected to turn out
for this affair, the parking problem
has been given considerable thought
by the men in charge. At present,
there are about 1,700 night school
students in attendance, and a good‘
many of them bring cars to school.
Parking has never presented a serious
problem to the night school, so that
there should not be any serious diffi»
culty with the dancers’ conveyances.
As usual, the big lot south of the
Main Building will be open, and with
other space that is available on thel
streets surrounding the Union, thel
space should 'be more than will hel
required. The regular school watch»
man will be on hand to guard the
cars. and there will also be two orl
three extra city policemen on duty,‘
as well. ,

Refreshments are to be furnished‘
to the dancers if they will descend to
the new lunch-room. Full soda foun-[
tain facilities will be available, en-1
abling- one and all to enjoy what ever i
they choose. It is a foregone conclu~l
sion that the lounge in the old civili
drafting room will be a popular place i
during the course of events. The new l,
furniture and rugs, along with thol
other interior decorations, will pro-i
vide an excellent resting place for
those who wish to sit out for a while.

“Armour Eye’ Meeting

At their meeting last Friday, the
Armour Eye was host to Mr. A. Died.
richsen, who brought 2400 feet of
Kodachrome moving picture film, as
well as 60 full-color still pictures with
him, and gave the club a full two
hours of enjoyment by projecting
them on a screen.

First came a reel which was 1600
feet long, and took an hour to show,
consisting of well-taken shots during-
a trip along a south-western route to
California. The trip included visits
to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park,
Sequoia National Park, and the
Grand Canyon. Some of the shots,
which, by the way, was with a (liner
Kodak Special, equipped with all the
extras, such as a telephoto lens, were
exceptionally. and, in some cases, un-
speakably, beautiful. They included
astonishing views of Bouldcr Dam,
various waterfalls and foaming rivers
which did all but stand out of the
picture, and gliding panoramas of
rock which was colored in hurtling
red, orange, and yellow.

The route in California included a
trip to Yosemite National Park, and
a drive along the Pacific coast up to
San Francisco. Here shots of the
city, ocean, golden gate, and its
bridge, made every one in the audi-
ence gaze in wonder.

On the way back, Mr. Diedrichsen
and his friends drove through Yellow—
stone National Park and the Dakota
“had lands.” In the former place he
took some views of “Old Faithful,”
showing every detail of the specta-
cular fountain, as well as shots of the
“paint-pots", which are clay pools

being of a different color. Lakes,
falls, rivers and mountains all were
shown in their full splendor. A sec-
ond reel 800 feet long was equally as
beautiful, and included some pictures
of bears in the parks, as well as tame
deer. This was on a trip last July.
The 60 still shots were also made
alongr the trips, with a Contux cam-
era.

Armour Eye also held their mouth-
ly photograph contest last Friday, and
invited their guest, Mr. Dicdriehsen
to act as judge for the contest. This
surprised him rather suddenly, and, at
first, he didn't want to consider himv
self a photographer. Nobody took his
statement seriously, however, after
seeing the pictures, and he was final-
ly persuaded to appraise the pictures.
The winners of the contest are:

First class, consisting: of pictures
of general subjects was won by Mr.
C. E. Hammett. His picture was en-
titled “Barnyard Madonna.”

Second class, consisting of pictures
of skyscrapers, was won by George
Raymond, whose picture was of the
Palmolive Building.
