Pool Completes New Book on Flowers
And Planis; Classifies by Formulae
BY BILL McGAFFIN.
Prof. R. J. Pool, chairman of the
university botany department, re
cently received advance copies or
his new book "Flowers and
Flowering Plants." Just off the
pres of the McGraw-Hill book com
pany. New York. The book Is an
introduction to the nature and
work of flowers and a clarification
of flowering plants. It contains
about 400 pages, with nearly 1000
drawings and other illustrative
materials arranged in 191 figures.
Principles of natural relation
ships that are shown by flowering
plants are stressed throughout the
volume. Preliminary chapters are
devoted to a study of the life his
tory of flowers. Later chapters in
clude the principles of classifica
tion and a survey of the history of
systematic botany from the an
cients to tbe present. This survey
Includes a brief summary of the
principle European and American
systems of classification. Nature
and life history of a hundred of
the more common families of
flowering plants puch as the rose
and buttercup are dealt with In
the work. Each family is il
lustrated. kept at a nearly constant temper
ature of 75 degrees. In very cold
weather the temperature some
times gets lower than this at night
and some of the flowers wilt. The
temperature never approaches
freezing, however cold it may get
outside.
Experiment are conducted to
determine the conditions that best
favor the gTowth of different
plants, what amount of moisture
is best for their proper develop
ment, what percentage of water
they contain under given condi
tions, and other factors of interest
to students of plant development
H. J. Klien, carettJter of the
greenhouse, report that one of the
most Interesting kinds of work Is
the propogation of new pl.nt and
determining the condition under
which they will develop the quick
est. The steam heat and electric
lights substitute very efficiently
for the sun in growing the small
plants that make no objection to a
twenty-four hour working day.

There are now 103 students

What's a Flower?
A unique feature of the new
book Is the endevor to represent
the nature of flowers by means
of empirical formulae. These form
ulae superficially resemble those
for chemical compounds, familiar
to students of chemistry. This
method involves the introducUon
of a large chart that shows the en
tire series of flowering plants ar
ranged in such a manner as to
show their natural affiliations.
Through this chart, constructed by
Dr. Pool. 150,000 different flower
ing species are represented by
families.
The f rontpiece of the book la de
voted to a full page picture of the
late Prof. Charles Edwin Bessey.
The g neral plan of clarification
adopted in the book is similar to
the one suggested by Prof. L e
several years ago. This U the liist
book in which that plan has re
ceived extensive treatment.
Dr. Pool has been collecting
material for the book for the past
ten years. He plan to use it as a
text In both his university and
Estes Park clases. Estes Park
classes are conducted in the Colo

W. H. Brokaw talks on "The
Year Ahead." Professor Brokaw
is tbe chairman of the extension
department
merrily along, atop ancient army
shoes. The collegiate man ts ready
for winter.
Drivers Rate Smiles.
Slouch hats for coeds, which
certainly are the berets, manage
to keep the eartips warm, leaving
part of the forehead and the back
of the neck exposed. Fur coats
cease to be a luxury and degener
ate Into hated necessities. Boys
with cars, who never have been
able to crash the sacred social
portals, start rating and dating the
pick or picket of the campus.
Before long, however, spring will
stick her nose into the picture and
tbe topsy-turvy winter world will
right itself. Auto tops will come
down, knickers will come cut, over
coats will come off and picnic
will come tip. The lad in tbe closed
car, who resembled a tin Idol dur
ing tbe fridgid epeela, will retire
to the background with mal
icious sneer.
Everyone needs a change in
seasons, but few turn out to be
all-weather successes.
