Mayne s ! Noted Research Worker Speaks To i LeConte Scientific Society { At First Meeting < Dr. J. B. Mayne, research worker lent to the United States by the British ( government and now stationed at the ] State Hospital in Columbia, read a ' paper on "Principles Involved In Ma- 1 larial Therapy Of Paresis, And Viability And Longevity Of The Malaria Parasite In The Mosquito", based on some of Dr. Mayne's original researches at the first regular meeting of the LeConte Scientific Society. Dr. Mayne has been treating paretic 1 and syphilitic patients at the State ' Hospital by innoculating them with : malaria parasites to induce fever^ since ' the spirochaets which produce paresis ' are unable to live at high temperatures. ' They cease to multiply at thirty-nine degrees Centigrade, and die at forty degrees Centigrade. In twenty per ' cent of the cases thus treated, the patients showed marked improvement or , were temporarily cured, and twelte per cent were permanently cured. Patients who were not treated invariably died. Most of the innoculations have been directly from the mosquito, but sporozoites taken from the stomach of the mosquito have also been used for this purpose. Innoculation by the mosquito was inaugurated by the British government in 192f>.

Dr. Frierson La uds Morrow Head Of Law School Attended , Columbia University With Noted Statesman From New Jersey "The late Senator Dwight Morrow impressed me very much as any worthy young man would who was working his way through school," stated Dean J. Nelson Frierson, head of the University Law school, who graduated in 1809 with the internationally known senator from the Columbia University Law school. "While not intimately acquainted with him, I was constantly thrown in contact with Mr. Morrow. Since the gentleman was very busy throughout the three years we attended classes together, my conversations with him were few, but I gained a very favorable ^ impression from these brief talks," Mr. Frierson declared. 1 he law professor has a very interesting picture of his graduating class at Columbia. On the front row is seen Mr. Morrow sitting with his classmates, numbering around one hundred.

The Honor Committee, composed of two elected representatives from each of the four academic classes of the University, is instituting this survey at the same time as a similar survey is being made by the faculty Honor Committee among the professors at the University. The reports of the two committees will be compiled separately and filed for reference throughout the year. It has been estimated that there are about .'{53 different sections of classes and laboratories meeting the first semester and a report from a student's standpoint will be solicited from as many of these sections as possible. The eight members of the Honor Committee will be assisted by certain students in the^e classes. As regards to this survey the chairman of the Honor Committee, Sanders R. Guignard. says the following: "The survey, as being instituted by the Honor Committee, is to be in no way an 'inquisition' or a spying campaign upon the activities of each class.

Last year the University had a University hour once a week from 0:30 until 10 o'clock each Wednesday evening. The programs consisted of a ten minute talk by a member of the faculty, and twenty minutes of musical entertainment furnished by one of the university musical organizations. This year plans are being so arranged that the service rendered by the school can be greatly extended. ! W IS has increased its power and has obtained the National Broadcasting j Company. Consequently, it will have much larger, diversified, and important audience. I Accordingly, the University will I ha've three fifteen minute periods per I week at 1:15 on Mondays, Wcdnes| days, and Fridays. The programs arc to consist of talks by the different professors and prominent alumni, concerning matters of scientific and literary interest, and of economic, political, and social significance to the state. Hie musical organizations, the glee clubs, symphony orchestra, band, and student orchestra, will broadcast musical programs every Sunday afternoon at an hour to be agreed upon later with WIS. A microphone is to be installed in the University chapel. The broadcasting will be done in one of the neighboring offices. Tom Stone, an alumnus of the University, and now manager of WIS, was present at the faculty meeting which took place Wednesday afternoon in Sloan college. He explained plans and prospects to the entire faculty. R. G. Hell is to have entire charge of the programs when the arrangements have been completed. The University is putting forth greatest efforts to extend its educational facilities^ as far as possible to the people of the state. It is doing everything within its means to present, through broadcasting programs, bulletins, and pamphlets, vital and important facts, information, and statistics to those who cannot avail themselves directly of its instruction. # \. . v. i' . .
