Davis Give Illus trated Address in Temple Theater EROSION CAUSES CHANGE Time Involved Should Make People Realize Their Responsibility, Stated Speaker "A study f this canyon will make the people realize the long future time that is needed for further devel opment. It will induce them to take their responsibility on their should ers and help in the advance," stated Professor William Morris Davis, professor-emeritus of physical geography t Harvard, in his address on "The Lessons of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado" at the Temple Theater on Monday morning. Dr. Barbour in troduced the scientist to the students. One can think out for himself something of the measure of time it has taken for the formation of this phenomenon, he explained; think that about the measure of time it has ta ken for its cutting is about the meas ure of time that man has been de veloping on earth. Professor Davis described the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, using slides to illustrate his lecture, and explained that it was not produced by any tremendous con vulsion of nature, but that the rock formations are the results of grad ual processes during almost incom prehensible periods of time. The level plateaus on either side of the canyon, which is in the northern part of Arizona, are monotonously cover ed, at the lower altitudes, with only sage-brush; at greater altitudes, with pine forests. Fint Sight It Overwhelming "An on-looker at first sight of the canyon, lapses into silence," said Dr. Davis; "it is such an overwhelming spectacle. Its vastness makes it seem that the earth could not be old enough for the infinitely slow pro jcesses to produce a phenomenon so huge." At one point it is 5000 feet deep and about a mile wide, and at another, it is nearly 6000 feet deep and from ten to twelve miles wide. If it had been simply a crack as has been supposed, its sides would be al most vertical, whereas, the speaker -explained, they are broken by side canyons and promontories. "The processes which made the -canyon are still at work," stated the speaker. "The main canyon is still deepening, and the side canyons are still lengthening.'" The completion of the process will not be Teached until the plateaus are worn down to lowlands, Professor Davis asserted. The time for this completed process, he designated as the cycle of ere: ion. Nothing Mysterious About Erosion "There is nothing mysterious or extraordinary about this erosion, ex cepting the time," declared the speak er. "The destruction of the plateau way seen fantastic, but if time goes on, it will be completed," be added. Though the canyon itself seems old, the pluteau and the earth had to be built up even previous to it. A study of the wallB discloses the make-up of the earth's crust and how it came to be formed as learned by inference. These walls are made tip of what are called the plateau series of Btrata; in a two-f eld formation ; the basic, granite-like rock, and the covering crust which includes several types of rock, among them the slanting series of strata, in the shape cf a wedge. As much time was taken in the cycle of construction as in the cycle of erosion a period of endless tip heaving and deposition, of a deepen ing of valleys and a wearing away of ridges. Well-defined fossils were preserved for the first time when the lowlands sank. The top of this heap that resulted from the general up heaval of the earth's crust is found in the pink tips to be seen in the canyon proper. The canyon, then, is a comparatively modem thing. "It constitutes the first page jf a new long chapter which is not yet com pleted," the speaker said. "The to tal duration of these various chap ters," he added, "were to be calcu lated in scores of million of years, "which however, is only the develop ment on a previously mf.de earth. "No organic records are found in the crystallized rock," Professor Da vis stated, fbut the white rocks were formed about the same time as the coal beds in P?iylvTi ; those just above include the fossils of dinosaurs, followed by the age of mammals, and pink or top cliffs were contemp oraneous with the development of man." Weather Forecast Tuesday: Fair and warmer., University Hall Was Not Equipped With Slate Blackboards Until 1890 Chalk Inscriptions Written Thirty. Fivo Year Ago Ars Uncovered In Wrecking Top Floors of Old Bnilding. That the University Hall class rooms on the third and second floors were not equipped with slate black boards until early in the nineties was revealed by dates and written mat ter uncovered on the walls when the slate blackboards were removed Sat urday and Monday. Before that time a cement coating had been ap plied to the plaster and painted over with black paint. The slate was apparently installed between class periods in some of the rooms, as class exercises were still evident on the black wall, the chalk clinging to the surface, and as dis tance as it must have when applied thirty-five years ago. In room 201 an inscription in chalk was found showing the date the slate blackboard was rut up and the names of the men who did the work. The writing reads: "These blackboards were set August 1891 by John Mc Elroy and J. H. Shaw of Lincoln." In a nearby room, number 218, a similar inscription was found stating "Washington Slate Company, Glat ington, Pennsylvania, E. E, Chowins, Agent, Lincoln, August 28, 1890." A complete set of examination questions in trigonometry was uncov ered in room 211 on the northwest comer of the second floor. The slate -'n this room was set a few years later than the others according to Professor A. L. Candy, who taught classes there in the nineties before the mathemathics department was re moved to its present docation in the Mechanical Arts Hall. Dr. Candy remembers well how the students petitioned nee to have a class changed to one of the other Continued on Page Two) NAME HEW PLEDGES TO DRAMATIC CLDB Formal Pledging Win Be Held on Thursday; Eloise McAhan Committee Chairman Successful candidates will be noti fied today of their election to the Dramatic Club.

NEBRASKA, MISSOURI LEADS IN VALLEY RACE Tremendous Upset Necessary To Shake Tigers from Top Position PLAY ONE MORE GAME HOW THEY STAND School ret.

It will take a tremendous upset . tumble the Tigers from that position because the only game It ft on their schedule isj with Kansas this week, and Kansas is rated as a very poor second division team. ' This week's Dickinson rating of the ' football teams in the Missouri Val-1 ley conference show Missouri, Drake and Ames still holding the three high positions, with Nebraska and Kansas Aggies tied for fourth. With but one or two games left' on each team's schedule the rating shows signs of becoming permanent for the season of 1925. Missouri will surely hold first place, as Xansas has scOi'ed only once this season, and has won a single game. Drake plays Ames this Saturday in a game which will probably disturb the ratings somewhat, as both are first division teams. If Ames loses she will become a second division team, but Drake is bound to continue as a first division aggregation. (A first division team is one mrhich has won more games than it has lost.) Nebraska Is Throngh Nebraska iz through as far as the Missouri Valley is concerned, but the Kansas Aggies play on Thanksgiving Day. By defeating Ames the Aggies will have a chance to climb above Ne braska and perhaps into third place in the standings, Oklahoma plays the Oklahoma Ag gies on Thanksgiving and Grinnell and Washington meet on that day. That will be the last of the season. Nebraska and Kansas Aggies stand above Oklahoma this week, although Oklahoma has a higher index num ber. The reason is that the Sooners lost to Nebraska and Nebraska tied the Kansas Aggies. ; Oklahoma Aggies are rated sixth because they defeated GrinnelL And although the Aggies have the same rating as Nebraska and Kansas Ag gies they do not deserve as high a rating because they have played only three conference games, one of which was a tie. Kansas and Washington trail the conference. Miss Dake to Talk At Vesper Service Miss Frances Dake, general secre tary of the Y. W. C.
