PICK AND HAMMER
CLUB IN FIRST
MEETING OF SEMESTER
The first meeting of the Pick and
Hammer club was held last week.
Owing to the fact that several of the
boys are doing geological work in the
mid-continent field and are unable to
return to school, it was necessary that
a new set of officers be elected. The
club chose M. M. Garrett to pilot the
society through this semester. Claude
Dolly was elected secretary, Ralph
Sturm treasurer, and Verne Austin
corresponding secretary. After the
business meeting, L. O. Wyman, '17,
working in the field for the Wichita
Oil & Gas company, gave an interest
ing talk on the work being done in the
mid-continent field. lie members of
the club who are working in the field,
but who expect to be back in school
the second semester, are L. O. Wyman,
L. Petres, C. O. Day. E. Beck and A.
Milek.

demand by numerous other zoology
departments.
University Hall, First Nebraska Uni.
Strengthened
The announcement that University
hall would have to be strengthened as
a precaution against further weaken
ing, has recalled to many old-timers
the history of the oldest building on
the campus. University hall was built
in 1870. and more traditions cling to
its brick walls than are associated
with any other part of the University.
In the early days, after the building
had been up some months, it threat
ened to tumble over. The foundation
had been built of sandstone taken
from the quarries near Burnham. No
railroads reached Lincoln at the time,
the nearest ones being the Union Pa
cific at Fremont and the Burlington at
Plattsmouth.
UNIVERSITY
The brick for University hall was
carted overland from Plattsmouth, but
It was decided to quarry the founda
tion stone at Burnham: When the
building was completed It was found
that the sandstone was giving way,
and cracks developed that alarmed
many of the good citizens of the state.
Limestone Foundation
The' people of Lincoln, anxious to
keep the University, subscribed $3,500
for limestone to replace the sandstone
foundation. This was done, and the
foundation today is strong as is need
ed, and the present trouble does not
arise from that source.
Some of the old sandstone Is stui

having been plastered over until it

resembles cut white stone. When thejdency the walls may display of falling
covering is taken off, the weakness of
the old stone becomes apparent when
one chips it with a knife or pencil.
University authorities do not think
there is any danger of the building
giving way, and the measures that are
to be taken to strengthen the walls
are as safeguards rather than necessi
ties. Students who examine the south
walls can see the cracks that are giv
ing concern. One extends almost the
whole length of the west wing of the
building, just outside The Daily Ne
braakan office. Just f aside the south
entrance to the building, the bulge be-

No Perceptible Widening
Neither of these cracks have shown
any recent widening, but a slightly
perceptible increase In some of the
others, led to a thorough survey of
the whole building by the University
architect, Charles Hodgdon of Chicago,
last week with Chancellor Avery and
Superintendent of Construction Chow
ins. Mr. Hodgdon returned to Chicago to
make his estimate on the work that
will be needed. Channel iron stays
will be used. Iron bolts running the
entire width of the building. These
win hi.iire the perfect safety of the
bunding, and will prevent any ten-

Building Must Be
out.
University hall is archtecturally
sound, especially in that the cross
walls and joists run the width instead
of the length of the building and act
as levers holding in the outer wall.
Should the south wall tumble away,
the joists supporting the floors would
remain, and the effect would simply be
of removing the waif. It is probable
that classes would be hardly disturbed
by a brick falling inside of the build
ing. Engineers' Tests .
Until the iron stays are put in, the
engineers of the University under the
direction of Dean Stout and Professor
t i

Bridgman, will make frequent tests by
transit, establishing the planes of the
building. Any increase In the tenden
cy of the walls to bulge or crack will
be noted at once, and if such a thing
does happen, the building will be
closed to students. Nothing of the
sort is anticipated by the University
authorities.
