In spite of the extreme heat any
the distrubing noises caused bj
the construction work on the drill
field, little complaint has beeij
voiced, according to the summer

of Professor Moritz.
"Especially pleasine has been th.?
fact that son many have availe
themselves of the opportunity t
do graduate work," stated
Moritz. "This indicates that Nejf
