THE DAILY NEDRASKAN FROSH HEAR OF GROWTH OF UNI. (Continued from pane 1) buildings were also erected. Among thorn were tho' chemical laboratory, Grant memorial hall, and Nebraska hall. The latter was not built as good as the rest duo to the small appropria tion for its construction and the fact which afterwards was revealed, that the man who built it was only one year out of the penitentiary. Sigma Chi fraternity cstalMshed a local chapter in 1SS3. Immediately .there was war between the literary Bocieties and the new fraternity. The literary societies finally expelled all their members who joined fraternities, but for several weeks there was so much excitement that many students forgot to attend classes. Ball Team Beat Roca. At this time there was no organiza tion, in athletics. Some of the students however organized a baseball team which boat the farmers at Roca and made a trip to Tabor, la., and returned victorious. Football as a regular college (game was instituted in 1S90. , Chancellor Avery said that the fin ancial depression of the early nine ties hit both students and professors hard. Ho told of teaching chemistry for several months in the heat of sum mer for forty-five dollars. With the installation of Chancellor Andrews about 1900 came a period of rapid progress. Several new buildings were added and the medical college at Omaha, and agricultural sub-station at North Tlatte were established. All the different newspapers published by the student body were consolidated as The Daily Nebraskan. The Cornhusker, the outgrowth of several other annuals, was also established. Chancellor Avery's administration began in 1908. Under him there has been a reorganization of the system of college. A million dollar building pro gram has just been completed. The building program was held up a year or more in 1913-1914 when there was agitation for removal of the University, to the site of the college of agriculture. The question was submitted to the voters of Nebraska who decreed that the campus site should remain the same. After this decision was made, the regents embarked on the building program which was completed two years ago. IT. OF N. GRADUATES TO START OVERSEAS Hattie Hepperly, '21, Appointed As Instructor In .Women's Col lege for India. llattle Hepperly, '21, will sail No vember 19 for India. Miss Hepperly is to bo home economics Instructor at Isabella Thoburn college, the fiust woman's college founded in the orient. This school is located at Lucknow, a city in the north central part of India. It is under the control of tht Methodist and Presbyterian boorda of America. Tlio tpvernment o' Ind'a dcciJec tJ organize a g.-eat university of Lucknov.-, which chould be an "Ox lord for India." Isabella Thoburn college has tho privilege of being the woman's department of thi3 unlver rity. So tho education of woau.n in this great province of fifty million people will be moulded by the Christian-ideals and the best of the edu cational policies of America. The University of Nebraska should feel honored to have a representative in "nich an institution. Before Miss Hepperly sail3 she will ttend ih general executive meeting or the Woman's Foreign Mb:d n so ciety, which is held at Wichita. Kns. When she first arrives at the college she will have charge of the house keeping, including Btudy of Indian foods and their preparation. Latei il.o will study- tho language and then woik in tho home economics do paitment. While in the university, Miss Ilep rerly was a members of Phi Mu, Mo. tar Hoard, V. YV,. C.

It begins at once to cool. How does it lose its heat? Some is radiated, as heat is radiated by the sun; but some is carried away by the surrounding air. Now suppose the bar to be only one-half the diameter; in that case it loses heat only half as fast. Smaller bars lose in proportion. It would seem that this proportion should hold, however much the scale is reduced. But does it? Does a fine glowing wire lose heat in proportion to its diminished size? The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company began a purely scientific investigation to ascertain just how fast a glowing wire loses heat. It was found that for small bodies the old simple law did not hold at all. A hot wire .010 in. diameter dissipates heat only about 12 per cent more rapidly than a wire .005 in. diameter instead of twice as fast as might be expected. The new fact does net appear very important, yet it helped bring about a revolution in lighting. It had been found that a heated filament in a vacuum evaporated like water and that this evaporation could be retarded by introducing an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon. But it had long been known that the presence of gas in the ordinary incandescent lamp caused so much heat to be carried from the filament that the lamp was made useless. The new understanding of th e laws of heat from wires, however, pointed out a way of avoiding the supposed necessity of a vacuum. By forming the fine tungsten filament into a helix the heat loss was made much less prominent. The light radiated is then about the same as if the wire were stretched put, but the heat loss through the gas is very much less. So the tightly coiled filament was put into the gas-filled bulb and a new lamp was created. At the same cost it gave more and better light. Thus pure research, conducted primarily to find out how hot things cool, led to the invention of the gas-filled lamp of today the cheapest, most efficient iUunrnant thus far produced. Sooner or later research in pure science enriches the world with discoveries that can be practically applied. For this reason the Research Laboratories devote much time to the study of purely scientific problems.
