r~- . . . Library R Histoi i Student Makes Loan Margaret Heinitsh Contributes Interesting Data As Indefinite Gift Some very valuable and interesting papers have been deposited on indefinite loan in the South Carolina Room of the University Library by Miss Margaret Heinitsh of Columbia, who is a junior in the School of Arts and Science. The most significant of this contribution is a book on the proceedings of the Session Convention, which is valued at about $75. One of the loans is a lot of about fifty papers of a New England family by the name of Davis, first resident in Westport. These papers date from 1722 to 1860 and include deeds, grants, and also correspondence between members of the family who moved to the middlewest. These papers did not come directly from Miss Hcinitsh's family as she found them in possession of a maid from whom she bought them. At the same time, she is depositing in the South Carolina Room some papers about her own family, both of North Carolina and Alabama. Seven of these arc letters from G. C. WhatIcy, who was a member of the Alabama Session Convention. Included among the papers is several books on the whaling industry of Westport. As was already stated in one of the earlier issues of The (Jauncock all valuable material contributed to the collection of the South Carolina Room will be greatly appreciated, and according to previous recognition of material contributed, all newspapers and other contributions will be duly labeled, giving the name and address of the contributor. U. 8. O. ? Engineers Get Hydraulic Lab The experimental function of the engineering department will be greatly enhanced by the presentation of a number of pieces of experimental apparatus, and by the proposed establishment of a hydraulic testing laborai tory on one of the many ponds of the county, stated Prof. A. C. Carson in a recent interview. Among the apparatus, which was presented to the Physics Department by Herbert Svokcs, '31 graduate in Electrical Engineering, is a new and valuable type of photo-electric cell. Professor Carson says that a hydraulic testing laboratory is a very desirable part of the equipment of an engineering school. The one at Cornell is run by a picturesque waterfall on the campus. Where the pomls arc located on plains, as in the Western countries, the water is often pUmpcd up to reservoirs.

He will occupy a home in Princeton with Mrs. Einstein, will be in residence at the institute annually from October 1 to April 15, beginning next Autumn, and will make a yearly visit to Germany. Whether he will become an Amcrican citizen is not known, although it is considered doubtful, since he has never given tip his Swiss citizenship despite his years of scientific accomplishment in Germany.

Dr. Smith described the three types of law that govern all human activity. "The first set of laws under which we live is the physical law which governs the universe." These laws, according to Dr. Smith, "are absolutely impersonal and infallible. Regardless of what we do they hold their sway over our actions. If a man takes poison whether by mistake or not, the results are inevitable, regardless of personalities or intentions. "The second set of laws is man made laws which are personal and too often fallible. When a man breaks the laws, he is brought before a jury of his peers who try to determine all the faculties involved in order to decide what course of action to take. But with the inevitable fact that lawyers, jury and judges often make mistakes. "The final laws under which man lives however, are spiritual laws which are infallible, but which take into consideration all of the motives, * aims and personal consideration involved in each action.
