Iowa Provides Summer Camp On Own Campus The University of Iowa provided summer camping grounds on its own campus last year for the first time. The experiment was eminently suc cessful, and for the summer session of 1927 the accommodations will be extended. The university summer camp is sit uated at the edge of the campus and is exceptionally suited and equipped for its purpose. Its area is heavily shaded and adjoins paved roads. Provisions are made for the parking of cars on the grounds. An adjacent brick building of the university provides certain in-door facilities, including study rooms and study tables. Modern conveniences tend to make the camp highly de sirable, where one may combine sum mer work with a real outing. Camp and individual tents are electrically lighted and City water is conducted to the Camp. Indoor facilities are available in case of storms. Daily delivery of mail is made by a uni versity carrier. During the summer session of 192S about thirty families were registered in the Camp, representing ten atates, the most distant being West Virginia, Colorado, and Arizona. Eavtral res ervations have already been made for the Summer Session this year. Medicine Bag Was With Indians, E. Bear claws, a buffalo tail, and a mass of black hair like a scalp, are the secret charms wrapped in a fad ed plaid cloth to resemble a gypsy bundle which Mr. E. E. Blackman, curator of the Nebraska State His torical Society, .opened yesterday in hiR office to explain the peculiar for mation of medicine bags, a sacred custom of the red race. Inspired by the Great Spirit each Indian brave collects momentos from battle and the hunt to protect him in the future. From the first buffalo he kills, a piece of skin is tanned for his bag. As the days pass many strange trophies find their way into it. "No harm camd to the Indian who always wore his medicine bag" Mr. went on. Just like the negro slave cherised his rabbit foot, the Indian guarded his skin fill of sacred talis mans." A bunch of sweet grass keeps off all danger of thirst, and a few ,dry roots insure him from dying from hunger. When he killed a bear the claws were secured for the collection, and he was immune from bear attacks. Families, clans, and tribes also ob served this quaint custom to ward off the evil spirits. In the tepee direct ly opposite the entrance and accross the fire was a post on which hung the sacred bundle. Destruction of one of these meant a general calam ity. Squaws Were Punished "Oh, no, squaws had nothing to do with them." and Mr. Blackman seem ed almost horrified at the sugges tion. " They were slaves. If a squaw accidently touched an inspir ed bundle, it became the taboo and she was puriished." Inseparable in life, the warrior a.id his medicine bag were buried toge ther Perhaps he would need it in the happy hunt'ng ground. Besides it One Year Ago "It is rather a coincidence," de clared Frederick G. Collins, prepara- tor for the museum, in his address on "Digging up a Fossil," "that here in the streets of Lincoln, capital of Nebraska, we dig up mammoths; we may go to London, an older capital and again we can dig up mammoths; we may go to Rome, a still older cap ital and once more we dig up mam moths." Mr. Collins presented this lecture, iluustrated by slides, before Letter of Carolus Linaeous Becomes Part of Collection In Bessey Hall Perhaps last night you wrote a let ter on the approved type of modern stationery, and this morning you post ed it. On September 20, 1740, Car olus Linnaeus, living in the city of Stockholm, Sweden, wrote a letter in scholarly Latin to M. de Sauvages of Montpellier, France, concerning bot anical matters. He folded his epistle, sealed it with brick-red sealing-wax and the message proceeded to its des tination by way of Germany. On the first day of December, 1920, the self same letter was purchased by Mr. T. J. Fitzpatrick and made part of the Linnaen Collection which he has in the Library at Bessey Hall. A folded sheet of fine rag paper, yellowed a little by the years, and only very deeply creased at the folds, the piece embodies more than the well-chosen Latin words so precisely penned in ink that has faded to a mellow brown today. If held to the light, the paper itself reveals a most beautiful water mark; a crown and shield device below which occur the letters "G. D.". Your letter was written here in America, and was probably directed to a Nebraska ad dress. That it should go astray is s possibility that you do not consider, but what of this letter that Linnaeus wrote? Did he have even an inkling of its fate across the sea, in a new 'and, and in an age remote from his own? What of the letter itself ? Its travels must have been interesting but where they were we shall never know. This letter is one of the very few Linnaeun letters in this country and even its facsimile is not included in the 1909 edition of his letters, and so makes a valuable: adjunct to the Col lection. Of the two hundred volumes that have been gathered together, not a few are first editions, or editions that are otherwise particularly valu able. Carolus Linnaeus, or Carl von Linne, as be was know after 1761, was born in Sweden in 1707, and re ceived all of his academic trrlr' g in that country. He was a m. n in whom the love of plants was suffic iently imbued to make him the inno vator of several reforms in the realm of botanical science. Of these, the best known, perhaps is the Linnaep system for the classification of plants. It was his "Systema Natura" that started Linnaeus on the way to famt. The fifth edition of Linnaeus' "Gen era Plihtarum," the edition most quoted, and general'y considered the most valuable is included in the Fitz patrick Collection. This work dates from a Stockholm publisher in the year of 17E4, and .is a most Interrupt ing one to examine. The material is all in Latin, which was the language of the European scholar at that time. The paper is of noticeilly finer qual 3 Sacred Thing E. Blackman Says was precious cnly to tha n-d man who formed it ir.a the coitjnts vcre kaown only to him. A horrible time for the Indian er was the interim between the loss of his bag and the making of another. "He lived," Mr. Blackman explained, "as one whose path a black cat ha wandered." Great Spirit Changed Mind Sometimes the Great Spirit chang ed his mind about what should be in one of these collections and he made the fact known to the Indian in a dream. Only with this divine sanc tion could the content be altered. Once a Cheyenne warrior proved to his tribe that his bag was actually successful in protecting him. Ar rows hit against his chest, but the redskin was unwounded. He lived a charmed life. A chuckle of rem inscence accompanied Mr. Blackman's telling of this little yarn. "Then," he went on, "A Pawnee fought hand to hand with him and killed the in vulnerable man with a club. When they took off his buckskin jacket a full coat of chain armor was reveal ed." "These are merely slightly and curious relics to us," explained Mr. Blackman. "But to the Indian who ovmed them they were all-powerful to save his life, and symbolic of a message from the Great Spirit, we have had this for about eight or ten years. Mr. Robert Small of Homer was the doner, but we don't know its real origin. "Indians don't keep medicine bags now. Reservation life seems to have removed the need or contact with the white man's civilization may have des troyed faith in the charm bundle. But," he finished whimsically, "a hundred years ago no warrior with out his medicine bag dared brave the bloody battle, the tricky hunt, or the lonely prairie." two good-sized audiences. Beginning with slides of fossill shells found high up in the hills of Europe, tha speaker explained that the origin of these had 1 1 ways been such a mystery to the earlier people because they couldn't imagine that these selfsame hills, these supposedly everlasting hills, had once been the bottom of the sea thus the fossill shells, chairman.

Books of the modern period even those of a rather academic nature are common ly bound in cloth of bright colors and somewhat mediocre quality. Lin naeus' book was bound in leather, and the covers are stamped with an in teresting device in gold, both back and front. System Not in General Use Today The Linnaen system of plant class ification is not the one in general scientific use today, Linnaeus'- vrss the classification on the basis of simi larity between the reproductive or gans of plants of various kinds. The modern systems classify on the com mon ground of all the natural char acteristics of the plants under obser vation. Although the Linnaen system would have been entirely adequate for the number of plants known at the time (only about 8000), it has become inadequate for modern pur poses, and has been abandoned in this country. German schools use it to a certain extent, and the Swedish schools rather cling to it, in defer ence, perhaps to the nationality of the founder. Linnaeus, however, knew that his system .vas not entirely sat isfactory, and he was warking on a new system at the time of his death in 1778, although binomial nomin- clature dates from the first edition of "Species Plantarum" in 1753. Nearly a score of lives of Linnaeus have been written. The Fitzpatrick Collection includes fifteen of these, in an interesting variety of editions and bindings, all of which are valu able. Linnaeus was a man whose life was well worth the efforts of the best to rote on, for he was an indefatig able worker,' and one whose work did not often end in failure. Mr. Fitz patrick has several editions of Lin naeus "Families of Plants," one in French. The most facinating oen, haps, is th first English edition, pub lished in Lichfield, England iu 1787. A fine facsimile is almost as great a source of pridt to a col'ector as any other beautiful volume. One of these has a place -on these favored shelves. It is a very fine facsimile" of an early unpublished work of the great scientist, a fracmcnt written in 1732, and containing the germ of the work that was to muka him fa mous.
