Alexander Wollcott and Moss Hart were predecessors of Marr and other college Thespians over the country who have done the character of Whiteside on the stage, while Monty Wooley played the role in the screen version of the play. The popular comedy is the story of Whiteside, a celebrated lec turer who breaks his hip on the doorstep of the Stanley residence during a tour and remains to con valesce.

Chaffee, who made the survey of the west boundary of Nebraska in 1869. The books were sent by D. M. Chaffee of Detroit, grandson of the surveyor. "These books constitute an orig inal field record," explains Dean Green. "In my estimation they are of great value." As evidence in any dispute over the boundary he believes the books to have more legal standing than the rec ords now possessed by the state. Due to their value as historial records, he is making arrange ments to transfer the books to the Nebraska Historical Society collection. 3 t&r&L? HUNTING bmr DAYS TIL MORTAR BOARD BALL
