buildings were also erected. Among
thorn were tho' chemical laboratory,
Grant memorial hall, and Nebraska
hall. The latter was not built as good
as the rest duo to the small appropria
tion for its construction and the fact
which afterwards was revealed, that
the man who built it was only one
year out of the penitentiary.
Sigma Chi fraternity cstalMshed a
local chapter in 1SS3. Immediately
.there was war between the literary
Bocieties and the new fraternity. The
literary societies finally expelled all
their members who joined fraternities,
but for several weeks there was so
much excitement that many students
forgot to attend classes.
Ball Team Beat Roca.
At this time there was no organiza
tion, in athletics. Some of the students
however organized a baseball team
which boat the farmers at Roca and
made a trip to Tabor, la., and returned
victorious. Football as a regular college
(game was instituted in 1S90. ,
Chancellor Avery said that the fin
ancial depression of the early nine
ties hit both students and professors
hard. Ho told of teaching chemistry
for several months in the heat of sum
mer for forty-five dollars.
With the installation of Chancellor
Andrews about 1900 came a period of
rapid progress. Several new buildings
were added and the medical college
at Omaha, and agricultural sub-station
at North Tlatte were established. All
the different newspapers published by
the student body were consolidated as
The Daily Nebraskan. The Cornhusker,
the outgrowth of several other annuals,
was also established.
Chancellor Avery's administration
began in 1908. Under him there has
been a reorganization of the system of
college. A million dollar building pro
gram has just been completed. The
building program was held up a year
or more in 1913-1914 when there was
agitation for removal of the University,
to the site of the college of agriculture.
The question was submitted to the
voters of Nebraska who decreed that
the campus site should remain the
same. After this decision was made,
the regents embarked on the building
program which was completed two
years ago.

llattle Hepperly, '21, will sail No

is to bo home economics Instructor
at Isabella Thoburn college, the fiust
woman's college founded in the orient.
This school is located at Lucknow, a
city in the north central part of
India. It is under the control of tht
Methodist and Presbyterian boorda of
America.
Tlio tpvernment o' Ind'a dcciJec
tJ organize a g.-eat university of
Lucknov.-, which chould be an "Ox
lord for India." Isabella Thoburn
college has tho privilege of being the
woman's department of thi3 unlver
rity. So tho education of woau.n in
this great province of fifty million
people will be moulded by the Christian-ideals
and the best of the edu
cational policies of America. The
University of Nebraska should feel
honored to have a representative in
"nich an institution.
Before Miss Hepperly sail3 she will
ttend ih general executive meeting
or the Woman's Foreign Mb:d n so
ciety, which is held at Wichita. Kns.
When she first arrives at the college
she will have charge of the house
keeping, including Btudy of Indian
foods and their preparation. Latei
il.o will study- tho language and
then woik in tho home economics do

How Do Hot Things Cool?
THE blacksmith draws a white-hot bar from the
forge. It begins at once to cool. How does it lose
its heat? Some is radiated, as heat is radiated by
the sun; but some is carried away by the surrounding air.
Now suppose the bar to be only one-half the diameter;
in that case it loses heat only half as fast. Smaller bars lose
in proportion. It would seem that this proportion should
hold, however much the scale is reduced. But does it?
Does a fine glowing wire lose heat in proportion to its
diminished size?
The Research Laboratories of the General Electric
Company began a purely scientific investigation to
ascertain just how fast a glowing wire loses heat. It was
found that for small bodies the old simple law did not
hold at all. A hot wire .010 in. diameter dissipates heat
only about 12 per cent more rapidly than a wire .005 in.
diameter instead of twice as fast as might be expected.
The new fact does net appear very important, yet it
helped bring about a revolution in lighting.
It had been found that a heated filament in a vacuum
evaporated like water and that this evaporation could be
retarded by introducing an inert gas such as nitrogen or
argon. But it had long been known that the presence of
gas in the ordinary incandescent lamp caused so much
heat to be carried from the filament that the lamp was
made useless. The new understanding of th e laws of heat
from wires, however, pointed out a way of avoiding the
supposed necessity of a vacuum.
By forming the fine tungsten filament into a helix the
heat loss was made much less prominent. The light
radiated is then about the same as if the wire were
stretched put, but the heat loss through the gas is very
much less. So the tightly coiled filament was put into the
gas-filled bulb and a new lamp was created. At the
same cost it gave more and better light.
Thus pure research, conducted primarily to find out
how hot things cool, led to the invention of the gas-filled
lamp of today the cheapest, most efficient iUunrnant
thus far produced.
Sooner or later research in pure science enriches the
world with discoveries that can be practically applied.
For this reason the Research Laboratories devote much
time to the study of purely scientific problems.
