celebrated on April 29 when a convocation was heldin which speakers representing faculty, alumni andthe university administration participated.

The alumni cooperated in making the celebrationa success by holding special smokers and gatheringsin various sections of the country. The first of thesewas held in New York City on April 24, whenformer Governor Alfred E. Smith, president of theboard of trustees; Senator J. Henry Walters andGeorge W. Sisson, also members of the board; Chan-cellor Charles W. Flint, Dean Samuel N. Spring andDr. Hugh P.-Baker, now president of MassachusettsState Agricultural College, were the speakers.The institution opened in 1911 with the registration

of fifty-two students. Dean William L. Bray, nowhead of the Graduate School at Syracuse University,was in charge for the first and part of the secondsemesters. The school at that time occupied a cornerin the basement of Lyman Hall when Dr. Hugh P.Baker was brought from Penn State Forest School totake charge. He placed the college on a solid founda-tion and laid plans for its future development whichhave been largely fulfilled under his administrationand that of the late Dean Franklin Moon. A largebuilding was erected on the campus by state appro-priations and occupied in 1917. Another building wasconstructed for housing the scientific departments andoccupied in 1932.

In the meantime the college has grown from a classof fifty-two students to an enrolment of nearly 500with two modern college buildings and several separatecompletely equipped laboratories at Syracuse and alarge school building housing fifty Ranger School stu-dents at Cranberry Lake. During these years thecollege has acquired approximately 20,000 acres offorest lands in various sections of the state while theteaching staff, including the Ranger School, has grownfrom two to forty-seven.

GIFT OF THE GENERAL EDUCATIONBOARD TO THE MEMORIAL HOS-

PITAL, NEW YORK CITYTHE General Education Board, founded by John

D. Rockefeller, has appropriated the sum of threemillion dollars to the Memorial Hospital for the Treat-ment of Cancer and Allied Diseases. With this sumthere will be erected a twelve-story hospital buildingadjacent to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-search, the New York Hospital and the Cornell Uni-versity Medical College. The property on which thenew hospital will be built is bounded by York andFirst Avenues and by Sixty-seventh and Sixty-eighthStreets. It is expected that ground for the projectwill be broken next autumn and that the building willbe completed within a year.

Harry Pelham Robbins, president of the hospital, inhis statement announcing the gift said:

This magnificent gift is a significant expression of thevision and generous spirit of the General EducationBoard and John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

It will create in North America for the first time amodern cancer institute even more broadly organized thanthose already existing in Rome, Milan and Buenos Aires.The scope of the project stirs the imagination.

Title to the property on which the hospital will bebuilt is held by the Rockefeller Institute for MedicalResearch, which it is said will transfer it to the hos-pital. The site, comprising three acres and valued in1934 at $900,000, was assembled, parcel by parcel, sev-eral years ago by Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., who intendedto turn it over to the Memorial Hospital as soon as theinstitution could raise the funds for a building. Thedepression made it impossible for the Memorial Hos-pital, with a deficit of $50,000, to do this. In Decem-ber, 1934, Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., gave the property tothe institute.The main building will house the service, adminis-

trative, laboratory, out-patient, ward and privatepatient facilities. There will be a nurses' home and, atsome future time, a unit to handle advanced cases.Garden areas will be placed in the center of the block.The present institution has only 110 beds, yet it

accepted 3,200 patients for treatment last year andthere are now more than 11,000 active cases under thecare of the hospital. There is a daily average of 325patients coming to the hospital and its nine clinics andx-ray and radium departments. Nearly 96,000 out-patient visits were made last year. About one third ofthe work of the hospital is free.

Memorial Hospital was founded in 1884 by Mr. andMrs. John Jacob Astor and Elizabeth Hamilton Cul.lum.

The original phonograph record is placed on topof the shields, played into the amplifier and heard inits entirety in the loud speaker, I, while the line fromthe relay to the cutter is tapped by a pair of head-phones, J. The shields are adjusted until the soundselected for recording is heard in the head-phones asone of the intermittent tones admitted by the relay.This selected portion is recorded in isolation by clos-ing the switch, H, during the interval which immedi-ately precedes the sound, and by opening it as soonas the sound has been cut.With the present apparatus sounds of duration less

than .39 sec. are recorded conveniently. Soundrs oflonger duration may be recorded with the same ar-rangement by decreasing the length of the projectingportion of the shields or by mounting the shields, relayand light upon a slower speed turntable than that usedfor playing the original record. In psychophysicalwork which does not demand the presentation ofstimuli in rapid succession, the device may be adaptedto any electric phonograph and used without recordingthe sounds.

DEMONSTRATION APPARATUS FOR SMALLINSECTS

THE apparatus here described has proved useful forthe public exhibition of smail biological specimens. A

FIG. 1. Top and side views of demonstration apparatus.

The apparatus consists primarily of a box into theupper lid of which the lenses are fastened; the illumi-nation is furnished by fifteen-watt electric lamps whichcan be turned on by the observer by pushing a buttonmounted on the lid by the lens. Large objects, suchas adult insects, are illuminated with indirect light, anda reading glass lens of about a six-inch focal lengthis used to magnify them. Small objects, such aslarvae, which one would ordinarily examine under adissecting microscope, are mounted on a baffle boardclose to a dissecting. lens. Light passes up through asmall hole in the baffle board. It was found that bestresults were obtained when the opening on the lowerside of the board was covered by a piece of opal glasswhich helps to diffuse the light without cutting downits intensity too greatly. The push button control ofthe lights eliminates the danger of overheating andthe consequent destruction of balsam preparations.Descriptive labels placed beside the lenses help to con-vey the story to the layman observer.
