Doctor Barrett was made Curator of Anthropology of the Public Mu-seum of Milwaukee in 1909, and Director of the Museum on the resigna-tion of Mr. H. Ward in 19320. In 1928 he went to Africa as head of the Cudahy-Massee Milwaukee Mu-seum African Expedition. While on this trip, many reels of motion pic-tures were made. A large number of skins of animals were brought back. This material was of such value and importance that a cold storage plant was built in the basement of the Museum and these skins were stored at low temperatures. The films are also being stored at low temperatures to preserve them.
Doctor Barret does not consider Africa a dark continent, but a bright place teeming with wild life. He chooses for his subject, "Tamest Africa". His pictures deal with, inti-mate views of wild life and of the people he met on this expedition. The expedition made the home of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson their headquarters while preparing the animal skins for shipment back home.
Doctor Barrett la a very scholarly man of impressive appearance. He is quite at home on the lecture platform and he knows what folks like to hear. He is a very popular lecture and in much demand.

Tues., Mar 29—Conducting five public meetings besides a number of classroom lectures and personal interviews. Dr. James S. Chubb of Southwestern university has spent two days here of considerable profit to McPherson college students. Dr. Chubb was brought to the McPherson campus by the local Y. M. C. A. He is head of the department of religion and philosophy at South western, and is well known as a psychol-ogist and personnel worker, having a good reputation for being an in- spirarional leader of young people.
One of his mosr interesting talks was given in the Monday morning chapel service, when he spoke of how students could develop the modern Christian attitude toward life situations. He compared the insignificant, "fool-proof” world of Columbus with the modern world of interdependent people and nations. I11 the world of Columbus men could be divided into groups and nations, but now that is impossible. Some significant state-ments made by Dr. Chubb were the following: "There is no doubt that the world we have today has more possibilities than the world of Chris-
Excitement on the campus is running high as the 1932 McPherson college political campaign draws to a climax. Campaign posters may be seen everywhere advertising the virtues of this or that candidate for office, and most students are displaying a great deal of interest in the qualifications of the various applicants for the positions sought.
Tomorrow morning at 10:00 o'clock the annual political rally and nominating convention will take place in the chapel, under the leadership of Ralph Keedy, president of the Student Council. At this time either the campaign manager of someone chosen by him will deliver a nominating speech for each candidate, divulging his platform, his past history, his special qualifications, and the outlook for the future of the office in question if filled by him. One and one half minutes (no more and no less, says President Keedy) will be allowed for each speech.
Immediately following the nominating speeches the primary election will take place, from 10: 30 to 12:30 o'clock, Students will run their votes for the offices of president of the Student Council and men's cheer leader, the only offices for which there are more than two candidates.

Tues., Mar 29- After a checkup this evening of all results turned in by McPherson college faculty members in the big Booster Banquet ticket selling campaign, it was revealed that an unusually large number of tickets had been sold, the amount of cash already turned in amounting to approximately fourteen hundred dollars. President V. F Schwalm expressed satisfaction at the splendid spirit of cooperation and friendship toward the college displayed by the citizens of McPherson and surrounding towns in making the second annual Booster Banquet a success.

PLAN FOR A DAY OF CAMPUS IMPROVEMENT
Student Council Initiates Project—Committee Is Working Out Arrangements
Under the leadership of the Student Council an all-school Campus improvement Day has been tentatively planned, and at present a com-mittee appointed by that body is considering arrangements by which the plans can be realized. Frank Hutch-ison is chairman, and is assisted by George Lerew and Esther Brown.
This committee has been making a survey of the various things needed
fulness of the campus, and also of the time and expense involved in making the improvements. Working in conjunction with the faculty and the administration they will appoint sub-committees to have charge of different phases of the work planned for the Campus Improvement Day. If
The new members of the Thespian Club are receiving their just dues in an all day Initiation on the campus today. The initiates will be seen in various and sundry paraphernalia which will prove interesting and at-tractive to the remaining students of the campus. Not only will the new members be affected by these assignments but their closest friends will not be permitted to hold conference with them during the day.
At the close of the day, the members will be rewarded for their faithful services with a light luncheon which will be held in the Y. W. room. The luncheon might well be termed a banquet for the guests will be entertained with toasts and after dinner speeches carefully prepared by the new members.

MUSIC STUDENTS PLAY
IN FRIDAY ASSEMBLY
Fri., March 25- Several musical numbers were given in chapel this morning.
First was a vocal duet. "My Savior Liveth," by Gulah Hoover and Lois Edwards. They were accompanied by Pauline Dell at the piano while Miss Margaret Shelley played a violin obligato. Then President V. F. Schwalm read a scripture and gave a short talk on examining our lives taking the Easter season seriously.
This was followed by a piano solo played by Julia Mingenback and a violin solo by Mr. Lloyd Spear, "Fan-tasy," from "Fanst". Miss Mingen-back, a pupil of Miss Fern Lingen-felter, is from the city junior high school, and Mr. Speal, a pupil of Miss Margaret Shelley, is from the Windom high school.
FORMER "Y" CABINET HOST TO NEW MEMBERS
Give Luncheon in Y. W. C. A. Room Wednesday Evening
The members of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet of 1931-32 entertained the newly elected cabinet members of the local organization with a delightfully planned luncheon at 5:30 o'clock on Wednesday evening, March 23, in the Y. W. C. A. room of the college
Following the serving of the delicious two-course luncheon the group played games under the direction of Helen Holloway and Ethel Sherry. A violin solo was played by Mattie Shay, after which Alberta Yoder, retiring from the presidency or the Y. W. C. A., conducted an Easter worship service. This service was followed by the impressive presentation of each cabinet member's position to her successor.
Those present were Alberta Yoder, Helen Holloway, Ethel Sherfy, Evelyn Saylor, Constance Rankin, Grace Heckman, Mary Waddle, Elizabeth Richards, Ada Brunk, Esther Brown, Mattie Shay, Una Ring, Cor-rine Bowers, Gulah Hoover, Dorothy Dresher, Bernice Fowler, Genevieve Crist, Louise Ikenberry, and Miss Della Lehman.
made for the project, classes are to be dismissed for a half day, or perhaps a day. and all students will cooperate in cleaning up and eliminating undesirable things about the campus, at the same time doing what can be done to beautify and other-wise improve the grounds and buildings. It has been suggested that some kind of picnic be held in the evening following, so that students may combine pleasure with work in their efforts toward the success of the event.
Full cooperation of the college faculty and administration is assured, and the only thing now remaining is to complete plans for the
LELAND ENBERG WINS CHEM. SPELLING MATCH
Thurs., Mar. 24- The Chemistry Club program for today consisted of the annual chemistry spelling match for the beginning chemistry students, when the budding chemists are asked to "spell down" in a con-test using terms frequently encountered in chemistry.
Leland Enberg won a price in the contest, and was awarded a set of five books for planing first. John Austin was awarded a prize of one dollar for winning second place.
With the exception of the college students, who have been somewhat tardy in buying their tickets, the sale thus far has been very successful considering the strenuous financial conditions. It is expected that many people who have not yet definitely arranged to be on hand will obtain tickets within the next two days, as they did last year in the days immediately preceding the banquet.
Dr. Burris Jenkins, the leading
speaker for the banquet Friday night, plans to arrive by airplane, coming
to Hutchinson because of lack of a suitable airport at McPherson. The pilot who will fly his plane, Dr. John D. Brock. is a widely known and spectacular aviator. He holds a record for having made at least one flight a day for over two years, a par-lod of 900 days. He recently completed a tour including the capitals of all the 48 states.
Dr. Jenkins, a noted author, world traveler, and radio speaker, will have as his subject for the Booster Ban-quet "Education for Modern Amer-ica". Other speakers who will give brief toasts are Dean Paul Lawson of Kansas university. State Superin-tendent George Allen of Topeka, and Superintendent Huesner of the Salina public schools.
Mush for the Banquet program will be furnished by Mrs. Anna C. Tate, who will sing a soprano solo, and the combined college glee clubs, singing the final chorus from the cantata "Ruth, the Mosbitess," to be given next week. An orchestral ensemble directed by Miss Margaret Shelley will also play.
It is urged that students buy their tickets today if possible, so that the
Topic Will Be "Canadian System of Liquor Control"
Ben Spence, noted canadian Jour-nalist, is scheduled to speak next Monday morning, April 4, in the college chapel, beginning at 9:45. His subject will be "The Canadian System of Liquor Control." The extra fifteen minutes added to the regular chapel period is to allow time for both a talk by Mr. Spence and a forum afterward, in which the students and faculty will have an op-portunity to ask him questions concerning his subject and to present their own views.
Having been a Washington repre-sentative of one of the leading Cana-dian newspapers, a member of the Press Club and the Senate Press Gal-lery, the speaker has had an excep-tional opportunity to observe Ameri-can and Canadian affairs with the view of comparison, and will be prepared to present facts and figures interpreted by his experience and observation. As a speaker he is said to be keen, witty, and resourceful.

The student Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. conference will be held at Estes Park, Colorado, June 7 to 17. The conference is being planned to help each students in those areas of life in which he has problems in connection with his own thinking and conduct. Estes does not offer a pan-aces nor a final solution to the student's personal and social problems, but it does offer ten days of honest thinking, of sharing of experiences, of relaxation and recreation of deep fellowship with students and leaders
It is ten days in earnest quest of life's meaning and in the achievement of now levels of thinking.
The program of the conference has been worked out so that it will develop in a constantly enlarging circle beginning with the self that is with the individual—this problems, frustrations, successes and possibilities.
The circle nearest him is his campus relationships, then his family— the home of his parents and his own future home, and next his relation to society in genera— to the state and the world, and to some of those acute issues with which every person and notion is today faced.
The place of religion, philosophy, psychology, economics to these individual and social questions will be discussed. The process will develop gradually, no that as the Conference progresses from day to day each new step will come naturally.
The meaning of Jesus for us today is a question which will run near the center of the Conference. Are we really Christian as a nation, groups, and as individuals? An hour each day will be given to objective studies of His teachings.
One of the real opportunities at Estes is to come to know great per-sonalities. There will be leaders from many professions, and occupations. Estes is composed of students and leaders from many campuses and from many lands. What a rare opportunity to expand one's horizons, to form new friendships, to come to know some of the outstanding representa-tatives of other nations who are guest students in our country. Estes is a campus of cooperation, of democracy, of friendliness.
Estes Park, itself, is located in the Colorado Rockies. From the Conference grounds can be seen the snow-capped mountain peaks with Long's Peak in the distance. The Conference provides rare opportunity for recre-
and motor trips to the scenic points.
As a student or faculty member plan now how to spend 10 days in June, attending the Estes Conference and be a part of the McPherson delegation. Adopt the slogan "On to Estes."—A. Y.

PROFITING BY MISTAKES
Statesmen and educators have said recently that humanity has made as much or more progress since 1860, as in all the period before that. It is a natural question, to ask "What, in this latter period, has made possible such rapid progress?'"The writer recognizes a multiplicity of political, economic, social, and religious factors which have had a part in this rapidity of progress, but there is one underlying principly which is more or less fundamental to the success of the other factors. This underlying principle is that men have learned to profit by the mistakes of others.
The teaching once followed, was "To err once is experience; to repeat it is tragedy." For thousands of years each generation had to re-learn practically the whole existing knowledge, by the trial-and-error method. If the civilization was to equal that of the preceding generation. But now each generation advances from a position held by the preceding generation, faking the existing knowledge as a foundation on which to work. Advanced educational methods and modern means of communication have been in no small was responsible for this ability to advance civiliza-tion more rapidly. Improved transportation systems have made learning by travel safe, interesting, and practical. The radio has made it possible for the person of limited finances to learn Books have facilitated the progress of each succeeding generation, more and more. Thomas Carlyle said "Literature is the thought of thinking souls." Each generation is en-dowed with the accumulated experiences of the past, because these experiences live again in books.
When we have opportunity to read and become informed, we should not pass up the opportunity, but read widely and thoroughly. By reading we can get in several years, what it took our ancestors centuries to find out by experimentation. After reading, it is then our task to use our knowledge for service to man kind- to make our civilization better for our having been a part of it. -E. F.

AN ALL-YEAR EASTER
Christ died nineteen hundred years ago, and at this Easter season we celebrate his Resurrection. But isn't it a tragedy that the true Easter spirit does not live throughout the year? Our religion is based on Christ's
life, death, and resurrection. We should not allow the easter spirit to ebb after the chronological celebration of the Resurrection; the fact that Jesus arose is just as vitally important to our religion in one season as another.—E. F.
MARCH WEATHER
Snow flurries, blizzards, sunshine, wind, rain, clouds are all found in the course of the month of March as winter tries to leave its marks and spring comes bouncing around the corner. Again the "windy" month is about gone and students don their bright Easter costumes in gay style; old Fords are cranked up for a little spin; picnics are planned for; deferred walks are enjoyed; and a general good feeling covers the campus. But let's not forget that life resembles this third month of the year, and even though the "blues" get you down, better times are coming. When problems, studies, disappointments stand in the way be as optimistic, a true Christian student and find a way out. Make your mind and attitudes of the twentieth century educations. Dig up the gray matter, cultivate it, and evolve some new views on life.—D. A.

DR. CHUBB HERE tegrity, after thoroughly digging out the facts and asking of every statement or Idea. "Is it true?" Monday afternoon the speaker spoke in the Y. W. C. A. room at 4:30 o’clock, and again in the same place at 6:30 p. m. with an interesting and profitable discussion on "The Relations of Men and Women." His subject Tuesday morning at the combined meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C, A, was "Developing Christian Personality." The meeting by Dr. Chubb was an open discussion forum held in the Y. W. C. A. room Tuesday afternoon, when numerous personal and social problems suggested by students were dis-tracted. Immediately after the last meeting Dr. Chubb departed for his home at Winfield. CATALOGUE SOON OUT FOR FORTY-FIFTH YEARWill Contain Outline of Reorganized M. C. Curriculum The catalogue number of the McPherson College Bulletin for 1932-33, the forty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the college, will soon be back from the printer and ready for distribution. All of the copy for the book has been prepared, under the direction of Prof. F. A. Replogle, dean and registrar, and within a short time the new catalogues should he printed. The innovation of chief interest this year in the catalogue will be a reorganized division at the curriculum worked out by the faculty committee on classification and curriculum. All subjects have been placed under three divisions, instead of the ten groups which exist at present. The departments grouped under each of these major divisions will be catalogued as a unit under each division, while at the same time departmental identity remains the name. Required courses, instead of being selected from ten narrower groups, may be selected with considerably more freedom from the three new divisions; natural sciences, social sciences, and the group designated as language, literature, and arts. A new department offering a major next year is the department of physical education.

NEW TREE TO REPLACE ONE PLANTED LAST YEARThe Prairie Gardens in Nursery Company of McPherson has very graciously furnished another Chinese Elm tree to replace the one planted last spring by the class of 1931. The tree, which was located on the campus west of Harnly Hall, either because of disease or of improper care before and after planting, failed to grow and become the class memorial for which it was Intended. It will be replaced by a similar tree at the same place, and the glass bottle containing the history of the class, formerly buried at the roots of the old tree, will be reburied. The tree planting ceremony was held last spring during Commencement Week.  |
