MASTER CLOCK MARKS
TIME FOR STUDENTS
Clock Located In Observatory Rings
Bells in All Buildings on
Campus
The master clock In the Observatory
marks the time for all University stu
dents. It rings bell3 in all buildings
on the campus at the close of every
hour. The time ribbon is changed In
the summer time so as to divide time
in different periods.
Manv University students, perhaps.
know that the time system, on the
campus is controled by a master clock,
but most of them do not know how
it works. This clock is in the Obser
vatory. With it is connected a system
of electric bells in all builditfgs which
mark the time for the beginning and
ending of all classes. The bells ring
at the same time during the two se
mesters, but by Inserting a new rib
bon they are made to sound at differ
ent periods in the Summer School.

LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS MOST
EXCELLENT PROGRAM
LILLIAN HELMS-P0LLEY SINGS
Choruses Taken From "Tannhauser"
and "Lohengrin" Mrs. Carrie B.
Raymond Deserves Praise
for Excellent Work
The largest audience at any recent
Convocation heard Lillian Helms
Polley and the University Chorus
give a program yesterday which was
received with marked appreciation.
The selections by the Chorus were
from Wagner and included those most
familiar to University audiences the
choruses from "Tannhauser" and
"Lohengrin." The Chorus this year is
composed of about one hundred and
seventy-five, of whom about sixty are
men. The Pilgrim chorus from "Tann
hauser" was rendered by the men, and
the women of the Chorus in turn fa
vored the audience with the spinning
chorus from "The Flying Dutchman."
The selection by Lillian Helms
I'olley was greatly appreciated. The
singer has a beautiful voice and knows
how to use it to the best advantage.
Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond is director
of the University Chorus and to her
is due a large amount of the credit for
the high character of the musical pro
grams which Convocation audiences
have been privileged to hear. The
program follows:
Chorale from "The Mastersingers"
Wagner
Pilgrim Chorus from "Tannhauser"
Wagner
(For male voices)
Spinning Chorus from "The Flying
Dutchman" Wagner
Rosina's Aria from "The Barber of
Saville" Rossini
