universities, will take part in a ser-

EXHIBITS AND DISPLAYS
Engineers night, the main feature
of Engineers week, was celebrated
last night when great crowds filled
tho various engineering buildings to
view the different exhibits and ex
periments of the students in the En
gineering college. The buildings
were thrown open to the public at
7:30 and a continuous stream of vis

evening.
The following buildings were open
for inspection: Museum, Chemistry,
Mechanic Arts, Electrical Engineer
ing, Mechanical Engineering, Phys
ics, Armory and the Power Plant.
Students and instructors in the Col
lege of Engineering had charge of
the displays and explained the tests
and experiments to the onlookers.
Various types of power equipment
and machinery were exhibited in the
Mechanical Engineering building, in
cluding the Corliss and Triple Ex
pansion engines which are being
made entirely by students. An in
teresting experiment was the making
of liauid air in the basement. Mill

At a convocation held Thursday

branch of the University Y.M.C.A.
Charles Musselman, state student
secretary of the Y.M.C.A., was the
speaker. A committee on nomina

was appointed by Carl Rosenquist,
the temporary chairman.
Mr. Musselman, who was intro
duced by Paul McCaffree, secretary
of the University Y.M.C.A., told of
the great opportunity of the students
in western states to produce its lead
ers. Nearly all of these leaders are
born and raised on farms. '
"The farm problems of the pres
ent time are vastly different than
they were a number of years ago.
It is the duty of the graduates of ag
ricultural colleges to solve these
problems, and in this way became the
leaders of their communities. The
two great farm problems, according
to Mr. Musselman, are in getting
leadership and co-operation for the
farmers of the country.
