ONE OF THE largest prehistoric rhinoceros skeletons yet found in North America went on dis
play at the University of Nebraska State Museum last week. The giant animal was discovered
just before the war on the Andrew Hottell farm ten miles west of Harrisburg, in Bonner county.
Before and following the war a Museum field party, assisted by three Bridgeport men T. C.
Middleswart, W. F. Chaloupka and the late S. R. Sweet excavated the remains from an Ice Age
river channel. The Museum's rhino lived in Nebraska about 2,000,000 years ago. His ancestors
originated about 50,000,000 years ago. Many of them migrated to Asia where the largest rhino
skeleton of them all nearly three times the size of the Nebraska specimen was found recently.
Just prior- to the advent of the great glaciers, all of the North American rhinos became extinct.

Delta Sigma Pi
Marks 25th
Anniversary
Twenty-five years on the
campus for Delta Sigma Pi, pro
fessional commerce fraternity,
was marked last Friday evening.
Some 200 active members,
alumni and guests attended an
anniversary party at Cotner
Terrace. They heard an address
by H. G. Wright, national secretary-treasurer
and head of the
fraternity's central office in
Chicago.
Mr. Wright cited the local
chapter for its work in promoting
understanding between commerce
students and businessmen through
dinner forums and industrial
tours. Activities like these, Mr.
Wright said, improve public re
lations and provide students with
an opportunity to learn commer
cial problems first hand.
A feature of the dinner-dance
celebration was the presentation
of Miss Marjorie Hansen as the
chapter's representative in the
fraternity-wide "Rose of Delta
sig" beauty contest. She was
given a bouquet of American
Beauty roses by Bob Freeman,
president of the campus fratern-
sty. .
Formed at Nebraska in 1924,
the fraternity has been in con
tinuous existence except for two
war years. It is one of CO chap
ters throughout the nation which
claim 21,000 active and alumni
members.
Membership in the commerce
fraternity is restricted to male
undergraduates and faculty mem
bers of Bizad college.
