GRACE RAYMOND HEBARD [*Ans'd Nov 29*] THE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING POLITICAL ECONOMY LARAMIE WYOMING Nov. 22, 1913 Dear Madam;- Thinking that you may be intrested I am calling your attention to the recent issue of the Journal of American History published in N.Y. 30 East 42nd St, containing my article on the First Woman Jury, with numerous illustrations, i/e some of the women who served on the jury, the first woman bailiff, the man who introduced and fathered the suffrage bill in our Legislature etc. I am sorry not to be able to send you a copy as I has intended doing but they only issued a very limited edition of the Journal. The vol. is vii and the No. iv. I am going to give myself the pleasure of sending you a photograph of the Modern Magna Charta-the bill as signed granting to the women of Wyoming the right of suffrage which I beg of your to accept with my compliments. The name of Wm. Bright is the father of the bill, the approval is that of the Governor John Campbell. Respectfully, Grace Raymond Hebard GRACE RAYMOND HEBARD THE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING POLITICAL ECONOMY LARAMIE, WYOMING [*FILE ANSWERED, DEC 5 1913*] Woman's Journal, Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, 585 Boylston St., Boston, Mass, My dear Miss Blackwell: I am giving myself the pleasure of sending you a photographic copy of the original bill passed December 10, 1869, granting to women the right of suffrage. This is the first photograph that has ever been taken of this "Modern Magna Charta," as I choose to call it, and I trust you will accept it with my compliemnts. The approval of "William bright" is the signature of the gentleman who introduced the bill in the territorial legislature, and the signature of approval below is that of Governor John A. Campbell. In the last issue of the "Journal of American History", volume 7, No. 4, I have an article giving the first historical account of woman's suffrage as it originated in the territory and the first woman's jury, with numerous illustrations of the documents and photographs of the actors in this piece of legislation. I am sorry I cannot send you a copy of the Journal, but I have been unable to date to obtain the number that I expected to have to send out to those who, I thought, would be interested in the subject. I believe it is an article that would interest the three millions of women who now reside in the equal suffrage states. Of course, I have no financial interest in this matter whatsoever, not being paid for the article and having had to pay a pretty round sum to have these photographs taken. I trust you will accept this photograph with my best wishes and appreciation for the good work which you have done.

My dear Miss Blackwell: I have your letter of December 21, with your Christmas greetings for both of us, and I am very grateful. I am quite thrilled at the idea that you will and are finally going to have in print for all of us and for our posterity, your biography, supervised at least by yourself. If your friend Mrs. Boyer went through all of the issues of the"Womens Journal" which your gifted parents and their gifted daughter have written for the reading public, she certainly has amassed a tremendous amount of material that will be exceedingly interesting when put between two covers. I hope that she found, in going over them, that account which you told me about of getting off of the train when it reached Wyoming and, kneeling down and kissing the soil as "free soil for women." I spent three or four days going through the editions of the Journal of the dates you gave me, without any success whatsoever. It is a real joy to get the Journal this month, bearing as it does the old and honored and cherished name. I think the officers having in charge the Woman Citizen exercized rare discretion and discriminating judgment in making the change. With all the wishes for the season, expressing my great admiration for you personally and for your ability in public speaking and writing, I am Cordially yours, Grace Raymond Hebard 318 South 10th St., Laramie, Wyoming.

My dear Miss Blackwell: I am sending you a little clipping from the paper because I know you will rejoice with me over my, not triumph, but culmination of eighteen to nineteen years of labor in regard to Sacajawea, the guide of the Lewis and Clark expedition. I trust that you are well, and I am sorry that you were not able to see our Governor, Mrs. Ross, when she was in Washington for the inaugural.

My dear Miss Blackwell: I am just writing you a short note to say that I was delighted to get your unique Christmas greetings as put out by your nephew who is only fourteen years of age. It seems strange that after having Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross' name for two years on the front page of all the state newspapers, almost weekly, that now she has dropped out of existence as if she had not been. This is the fate, is it not, of a politician? She certainly made us a good governor, and although she feels very bitter about the outcome of the election, there was nothing personal in it whatsoever. It was a Republican year in a Republican state. With all season's wishes, I am Cordially yours, Grace Hebard [*Grace R. Hebard*] Natnl Geog. Mag.

(I write this with one eye on the bassinet; for I have explained to the drowsy occupant that it will kindly go to sleep for at least an hour as I now wish to have a thought or two about "freedom.") For some, life may be so arranged that there will be eight full hours to spare which can be devoted to labor dignified by the title of a "position." Others may have a four-hour period. Other, on hour. There are mighty few daily schedules that would not provide a few minutes for the person who wants to go along with politics and current affairs. Use this time. Make it pay. Realize that it is time that easily could be consumed in nervously pacing the house looking after those who are looking after something else, or in idling. Of course, there are practicalities and common-sense situations. The mother of a family who has no one to help her cannot go out and leave the house in charge of a six-months' old daughter. But in her confinement, she can find odd moments when she can read and study for the work she may be able to do later. For until the race is recreated, mothers will be saddled with a prime obligation-- to see to it that the family is reared according to the best ideals. But there is a "freedom" even in this confinement. As I said, this occupant of the bassinet can be trained to sleep. Moreover, its little life never stands still; a few years, and, if necessary, it can go along to school while mother goes to work. But all this assumes that "married" freedom is different from that of a single person. A husband, or a wife, always has the other member to consider. Both should have their individual development, spheres which rotate around the home, the center of all things common to them both. On Trial By GRACE RAYMOND HEBARD In a recent questionnaire in regard to "educating with respect to our laws" appeared the following: "What sort of education are the young people of your community receiving as to respect for the laws?" "In what respect are your law-enforcing officials held?" "Shall we turn the job of law enforcement over to some interested group and give up democracy as a failure?" Pertinent questions are these when public opinion is so apathetic that special officers have to be appointed to watch those who have been elected to maintain law and order. Why is it that three to six times as many more candidates ran in our recent primary elections for the office of sheriff than for any other office--the most hazardous position on any county ticket, with salary not exceeding that of any other county officer? A lamentable lack of respect for law, open ridicule of law-enforcing offices and flagrant violation of the eighteenth amendment of our Constitution make one ask "Is our Constitution on trial?" "Are our officers superior to the laws that they have been elected to enforce?" If the nineteenth amendment were as openly and defiantly ignored as has been the eighteenth amendment during the years since its adoption, what would have been the attitude of the millions of [Unlabled photo] women who exercised their right of franchise on November seventh-if, appearing at the polls, they were tauntingly informed that the judges of elections had decided that the amendment granting women suffrage did not meet with the approval of the people of the district and as a consequence no woman vote would be recorded? Suppose one of our states, through officials, should decide that the election of a United States Senator by popular vote did not express the wishes of the voters to such a degree as would election by the legislature, that the seventeenth amendment did not work to the interests of the people of said state. Would women for one moment tolerate disenfranchisement through this form of Constitutional interpretation? They would not. Would our Senate ever admit to its membership a person chosen otherwise than in accordance with the seventeenth amendment? It would not. If our Congress should enact laws "respecting an establishment of religion," our first amendment would forever safeguard our individual form of religious service, until the amendment was repealed, repealed by the same process by which it was made. In this day and generation no one questions the full force and effect of the first amendment as one of our basic, fundamental laws, the non-enforcement of which would deprive one of a primary principle of freedom. Is the first amendment of our Constitution to be more choice, more sacred as a law, than is the tenth, eighteenth, last or any other of the nineteen amendments? In the last analysis of the enforcement of a law, especially one so far-reaching and important as a Constitutional amendment, there cannot possibly be 17 such a thing as a compromise with self or the law as given to us in the form of a Constitutional amendment. If one amendment can be so openly violated, winked at, as the one relating to prohibition, why not with equal propriety all of our amendments, which are just as much a part of our Constitution as are the several articles and sections of this original governmental document? Why any laws? In the days of the millennium, when human acts will not be regulated by enactment, when murder is unknown, when vice is no more, when sin no longer exists and children are no longer exploited, laws, regulations and constitutions will be relegated to the discard. In the meantime we are having abundance of time to work toward that impossible perfection by enacting laws, adopting constitutional amendments, and enforcing standards of conduct, the violation of which subjects the offender to a prescribed form of punishment. Let the punishment fit the crime. If fines are not effective, as they certainly do not seem to be in cases of bootlegging and automobile speeding, then by all means, irrespective of race, sex, color, or previous servitude, land the offender behind prison bars where he may isolatedly meditate upon the majesty of the law. During this interval of self-examination, the rest of the world may joyfully journey on in the enjoyment of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. _____________________________________________ ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE RISE AT this moment of looking forward, we want to look back long enough to thank our Contributing Editors for their kind helpfulness during the past year, and to wish for them in 1923 enough extra success and happiness to compensate. We realize fully how great a sacrifice these extremely busy women make, and we wish to express to them here for our readers as well as ourselves a heartfelt vote of thanks. Nothing is more important to the Woman Citizen than the frank, free expression of opinion by these women leaders of thought and action, which makes the Citizen a forum for discussion. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't-though that isn't often. Occasionally a subject presented for discussion has made us gasp a bit-wondering what you would say; but always you have met it splendidly. At that, we should very much like more talking back-both among the editors themselves and among the readers in comment on the editorials. In which connection we might announce that in an early issue Mrs. St. Clair Moss, Missouri candidate for Congress, will review the challenge to organized women made by Mrs. Freudenberger in a recent issue. Also we are glad to announce that Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent of Education in Colorado, has joined our staff.-EDITORS. CAREERS OF SERVICE. The announcement of the retirement of Dr. Aven Nelson and Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard from active service on the faculty of Wyoming University calls attention to two careers of distinction and outstanding usefulness. Perhaps life's greatest reward is the inner knowledge of work well done. If such be the case, than Dr. Nelson and Dr. Hebard are endowed more richly than most of us can ever hope to be. The one, head of the State University's department of botany, has been actively associated with that institution for forty-four years, since 1887. The other, head of the department of political economy and authority on the state's history, has completed forty years of service at Wyoming University. It is difficult to imagine any career of greater value or more far reaching influence than their's--imparting the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of men to succeeding generation after generation, enabling the thousands who have come under the influence of their tutelage to live fuller and more thoughtful lives. As is the case with nearly all men and women who have truly served, Dr. Nelson and Dr. Hebard will not rest upon their already ample laurels, but will continue writing and studying among their chosen lines. All of which again reminds us of something which a little thought makes evident-- those who devote their lives and abilities to the profession of teaching may not attract the world's greatest glory and acclaim, yet the do more to shape the destiny and progress of the race, and contribute more truly and usefully to the welfare of mankind than all the kings and potentates and hurrah politicians.-- L. G. (Pat) Flannery, in The Goshen News. [*Wyoming State Tribune and Cheyenne Leader March 14,1915*] WYOMING LAST RESTING PLACE Of Shoshone Indian Bird Woman, Sacajawea The final burial place of the Bird Woman, Shoshone Indian woman, known also as “Sacajawea," and famous as a guide of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1805, is located at Fort Washakie, Wyoming, according to the conclusions of a special investigation just completed by the Interior department through the bureau of Indian affairs. The burial place Is marked by a tablet donated by the late Timothy F. Burke of of Cheyenne. A controversy among American historians, as well as Indian tribes, as to whether the Bird Woman was actually buried in the grave at Fort Washakie marked with a tablet in her memory, led the bureau to conduct an exhaustive inquiry lasting about three months. A report of this investigation was received Saturday. It shows that after 60 years of wandering away from the Shoshone tribe, during which she married Charbonneau, a French Canadian voyageur, and accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the northwest, she returned to her own people in Wyoming, and lived there until she died in 1884. The investigation was conducted among three tribes, including the Shoshones, Commanches and Gros Ventres Indians. It consisted of tracing the movements of the Bird Woman and her husband, Charbonneau, including their two sons, Bazile and Baptiste, and their grandchildren. These sons died in 1885 and 1886. Records were examined and interviews held through special interpreters with aged Indians of the Shoshone and Comanche tribes to secure accurate data regarding the renowned Indian woman’s movements during her later life. The report represents evidence that the Bird Woman lived for 26 or 27 years after the Lewis and Clark expedition among the Comanche Indians, marrying a man by the name of Jirk Meat, who was killed in battle. Out of harmony with her husband’s relatives, she disappeared, taking a small perfleche bag containing dried buffalo meat with her for food. After this she was known among the members of that tribe as “Wadzewiper,” the lost woman. Nothing was ever heard of her after her disappearance until the establishment of reservations by the Government, when she was found again among the Shoshones. One of the striking characteristics of the Bird Woman, the report points out, is that she was very modest and never claimed honors as being the guide and interpreter of the Lewis and Clark expedition. One reason for this is that an Indian woman will always put her husband foremost. She evidently assumed that the great duties she performed in guiding these dauntless explorers across the continent were the ordinary consequences of the trip. The early life of the Bird Woman reveals the fact that she was captured by the Hidatsa Indians at the age of 14 years and sold to Charbonneau, who took her with him when he became a guide to the Lewis and Clark expedition. Her husband overturned one of the boats of explorers, carrying valuable records, on the Missouri river. The Bird Woman seized them as they were floating down stream and thus preserved them. She also acted as interpreter with many Indian tribes discovered on the trip and secured ponies from the Shoshone Indians so that the explorers could continue their journey over the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast. The leaders of the expedition highly praised her in their records. The investigation of the bureau of Indian affairs was conducted by Charles A. Eastman, a full- blood and educated Sioux Indian who is well acquainted with the traditions of many Indian tribes. Dr. Eastman, in his report to the Indian bureau at Washington, among other things says: "Within the short time I am allotted to investigate and locate the burial place of this woman, it was difficult for me to go into all of the trails and evidence of her wanderings, but I have only gone to the important points where she actually lived and the tradition still exists of her being there, and follow her back to her station. * * * She died April 9, 1884, and was buried by Missionary Roberts (Rev. John Roberts), Fort Washakie, Wyoming. Porivo or Chief Woman, Sacajawea, the Bird Woman, Wadzewipe, Lost Woman, are one and the same person. The evidences gathered by Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard are authentic because they come from the Bird Woman at the time, although she was an old woman then, she spoke of the incidences of the Lewis and Clark expedition. At that time this history was unknown even to some of the Rocky Mountain white men, much more so to the Indians. "The evidence Dr. Hebard gathered came from very competent people, intelligent and strong men. The main evidence submitted by Dr. Hebard was from word of mouth from Rev. John Roberts and Mr. Fincelius G. Burnett, both of Wind River, Wyo., and Mr. James I. Patten of Basin, all three of whom had talked and known Sacajawea while she was on the Wind River reservation. Linked with this evidence in attempting to establish the fact that the Wind River Sacajawea was the Lewis and Clark Sacajawea was the evidence submitted by Mr. Patten, Mr. Burnett, and Mr. Irwin's daughter that Mrs. Sarah Irwin, wife of Dr. Irwin, government teacher to the Indian and lay missionary under and by appointment of the Episcopalian church had told these three parties that she had written a history of Sacajawea as given to her by word of mouth from the Bird Woman, but at a fire on the reservation the material was all destroyed. The material, or information, history, as set forth was told to both Mr. Patten and Mr. Burnett. Mr. Patten was also a lay missionary for the Indians, Mr. Burnett working for the Government on the reservation from 1872 to 1923. Dr. Hebard concludes her argument with the statement that "the valuable information furnished by Rev. John Roberts about Sacajawea and her people was the neucleus around which this story, history in fact, was woven. The testimony of Roberts, Irwin, Patten and Burnett can never be questioned nor the accuracy of statements ever be in dispute, for what evidence in any and all history is more generally accepted than that given by men of God who have carried the cross in advance of the sword and civilization, witness Fathers De Smet, Marquette, Hennepin, Joliette? In a very recent letter from Dr. Eastman (Ohiyesa) to Dr. Hebard: "It is the 'Ben Hur' of the Indian. A most remarkable romantic life of any age. Fates compelled and forced her all the time but in the end she defeated them. She defeated Fates. She enjoyed the fruits of her doungs developed among her greato grandchildren, where she died." THE BRANDING IRON (Volume XXXVL, Laramie, Wyoming, May, 7, 1931 NUMER 28) GOOD WILL TROUPE RETURNS FROM TOUR OF WYOMING TOWNS — Players Are Highly Praised By Audiences Played For On Circuit. — The University of Wyoming Players returned from their Good Will tour of the State, Sunday evening, May 3. The tour was a huge success in the way of reception and advertising for the University. Although the 21 players made it a rather expensive trip, it was quite successful financially. The troupe first went to Rawlins, where they had a good crowd in spite of the bad blizzard and cold spell that depended upon that city the night of the play. The assembly which was given at the high school in the afternoon, was also well received. Very favorable press notices came from Rawlins and the entire program was well received. They next went to Lander where they were also very well received. In fact, they were greeted favorably in every city in which they played. An unusually good write-up was given the players in the Lander paper; and the ability and likeableness of Fay E. Smith were mentioned quite lengthily. The next town in succession was Riverton, where the troup was received by a big house. The play and the orchestra seemed to be very much enjoyed and we know that Riverton will want the University Players to come again. Worland was the next stop and here too the cast was well received and given a good write-up in the local paper. Evidently the return of spring weather to that section of the country (Continued on page 3) — 9 SENIORS ADDED TO PREVIOUS LIST BY PHI KAPPA PHI HONORARY — Phi Kappa Phi, national honorary scholastic fraternity, selected nine seniors in the University for membership. Seven other seniors were elected earlier in the school year. Those chosen rank in the upper 15 per cent of their class. The list of members announced now are: Miss Nancy Burrage, Miss Alive Ellen Ford, Miss Molly Peacock, Cyril Horton and Miss Rachel Achenbach, all of Laramie; Francis E. Winters, Cow- ley; Robert H. Cole, Casper; Claud R. Yeager, Yellowstone Park, and Miss Dorothea Smith, Denver. Students elected earlier this school — Dr. Hebard, Dr. Nelson, Heads Departments, to Leave Service — Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, nationally famous author, and present head of the political economy department of the University, who is to retire as head of the department. Dr. Hebard has served the University for 40 years, She will devote her time, in the future, chiefly to historical writings. she has acted as librarian, served on the board of trustees and acted as secretary to the board during the time which she has been here. — Dr. Aven Nelson, right, well-known botanist and for a long time head of the botany department of the University, who is retiring from his duties as an instructor. Dr. Nelson was at one time president of the University. He will turn his attentions to his writings and to research work. Dr. Nelson is sponsoring a herbarium in connection with the University. — Noted Botanist Will Direct Effort To Research And Writing. — The announcement has come that Dr. Aven Nelson, for many years professor of botany at the University of Wyoming, is to retire. Those who know the active and alert botanist realize that retirement for him means only an opportunity to devote more time to his chosen work. Although relieved of the active headship of his department with its routine duties, he remains its honorary consulting chairman and curator of the Rocky Mountain Herbarium. This large collection of western plants which was formerly his avocation, has become his vocation, and teaching which for over fifty years has been his vocation becomes his avocation. The Rocky Mountain Herbarium has developed in size and quality until it now ranks among those of international importance. At present it contains over 123,000 specimens of plants and is growing at the rate of several thousand a year. There is in connection with his herbarium a very valuable library of old and rare books ___________ Historian and Author, Will Donate Time To Text- Book Editing. Doctor Hebard, one of the most prominent members of the faculty, has retired under the conditions adopted by the Board of Trustees of the University, in their retirement policy of all faculty members who have reached the age of seventy years. Dr. Hebard will still be head of her department although the supervision and hard work will be turned over to Professor Ralph E. Conwell. Dr. Hebad will continue to teach Wyoming history, but the time which she has previously spent in teaching sociology and political economy will be spent in writing text books on Wyoming history, which will be usable in Wyoming schools. An additional professor will be (Continued on page 3) COMMITTEES NAMED FOR FORMULATING GRADUATION PLANS Commencement Exercises Set For June 8th; Crane To Choose Speakers. _______ The committees for commencement have been appointed and work has begun on plans for graduation week and commencement, which will take place on June 8.

ROLLINS PRESIDENT, ANNUAL PICNIC HELD Tuesday night the Botany Club met for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing school year. The returns The proposed constitution of the A. S. U. W. which has caused a great deal of campus comment during the past week was unanimously rejected at an A. S. U. W. mass meeting at the Little Theatre Monday night. The clauses most objected to were the three major changes, namely Article IV, section 2, which reads: "Any officer or representative of the A. S. U. W. is subject to removal from office by the President of the University"; Article VII, section 3, which reads in part: "The final budget shall not become effective until it had been submitted to and received the approval of the President of the University"; and Article VIII, section 1: "Any act of any officer, commttee, or organization existing under this constitution may be repealed or amended by a two-thirds vote of the active members, or rescinded by the President of the University." Ben Joyce, president of the A. S. U. W., called the meeting to order. He first asked for the report of the constitutional committee, which was made up of Major Beverly C. Daly, Elizabeth Spalding, and Alan Kenyon. Major Daly, as chairman, gave a summary of the important changes of the constitution, which he said were, for the most part, to make official the current practices, except for the increase in power of the President of the University, and that every effort had been made to preserve the spirit and tone of the or- (Continued on Page Two) Wyoming Faculty Members to Speak at Commencement University Instructors To Address Schools Over State. Calls upon the University of Wyoming faculty members to serve as commencement speakers in high schools over the state are arriving daily at President Crane's office and many engagements have already been arranged. Commencement speaking arrangements completed so far among the faculty members are as follows: Dr. Crane will go to Superior, May 21; Evanston, May 22; Green River, May 28, and Hanna, May 29. KAPPA PHI HONORARY Phi Kappa Phi, national honorary scholastic fraternity, selected nine seniors in the University for membership. Seven other seniors were elected earlier in the school year. Those chosen rank in the upper 15 per cent of their class. The list of members announced now are : Miss Nancy Burrage, Miss Alive Ellen Ford, Miss Molly Peacock, Cyril Horton and Miss Rachel Achenbach, all of Laramie ; Francis E. Winters, Cowley ; Robert H. Cole, Casper ; Claud R. Yeager, Yellowstone Park, and Miss Dorothea Smith, Denver. Students elected earlier this school year are : Norris Embree, Kemmerer ; Reese Achenbach, Miss Ruth Barber, Laramie ; Miss Pearl Dewey, Osage ; Miss Marion Rice, Miss Edna Johnson, Cheyenne ; Harold Josendal, Casper. Mrs. Wilbur Hitchcock and family were Sunday dinner guests at the A. T. O. house.

Although relieved of the active headship of his department with its routine duties, he remains its honorary consulting chairman and curator of the Rocky Mountain Herbarium. This large collection of western plants which was formerly his avocation, has become his vocation, and teaching which for over fifty years has been his vocation becomes his avocation. The Rocky Mountain Herbarium has developed in size and quality until it now ranks among those of international importance. At present it contains over 123,000 specimens of plants and is growing at the rate of several thousand a year. There is in connection with this herbarium a very valuable library of old and rare books which are indispensable to botanical work in the western United States-- some are over a hundred years old, most are unobtainable today. All have been brought together by Dr. Nelson at the cost of considerable effort during the years he has been building up the herbarium. The library itself is worth many thousand dollars, and could not be replaced at any cost. The work in connection with the herbarium and library has grown correspondingly and (Continued on Page Two) University Visitors Escape Injury Although Car Overturns Three visitors to the University campus this week-end luckily escaped injuries when the car in whch they were riding overturned on the highway a short distance from Laramie. Miss Helen Dart and Jeanette Then, University of Utah students, and Miss Betty Hill of Rawlins were bruised and shaken up when the car swerved on the wet oiled surface, turned around twice and capsized. Miss Dart, daughter of Professor Dart of the University of Wyoming faculty, and formerly a student here, and Miss Then were returning to Salt Lake City from Laramie after a visit here. A defective steering rod was blamed for the accident. Investigating officers stated that the machine was speeding when it turned over. Miss Dart, driver, suffered a broken tendon in her left ankle and two fractured ribs. Miss Hill had an injured eye and bruises and Miss Then was only shaken up. The three were returning home after coming here Friday to attend the formal dance of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Miss Hill returned to Rawlins and the other two coeds expected to take a train for Salt Lake City later. Edward Williams of Denver, province president of Phi Delta Theta, and Bob Hutson, a Phi Delta from Indiana University, were guests of Delta Mu Alpha fraternity over the week-end. Mr. Williams and Mr. Hutson made a tour of the University and visited several fraternities and sororities. NOTICE!

Engineers Prepare for Open House on Friday Campus is Invited to Inspection of Departments; Demonstrations Arranged for Visitors. The Engineers are completing preparations for Open House, which is to be given Friday afternoon, from 1:00 to 5:00, and in the evening from 7:00 to 10:00. Special effort has been made to put on demonstrations that are interesting and entertaining, as well as educational to everyone. All machines and other apparatus used in the Engineering school routine will be in operation. The Civil Engineering laboratory is equipped to test such materials as concrete, brick, wood, stone and tile, which are used for construction in engineering practice. Instruments and machines will be in operation in order to show the methods used to test the different materials. One of the machines in the laboratory is capable of exerting a stress of 150,000 pounds, either in compression or tension, upon the material. The electrical laboratory will be "tuned up" to give you a real thrill. Most people think that electricity is a kind of magic, and we are sure that you will not change your views after having seen some of the things that can be done with it. The tesla coil is a device used to produce a high frequency electric current. By proper manipulation, gorgeous lighting effects and fireworks can be produced with it. The photo electric cell, commonly called the electric eye, is used for the conversion of light energy into electric energy. Although it is still in the experimental stage, it has thousands of practical applications such as the controlling of traffic lights, and the production of sound from light vibrations, which is recorded on film used in the "talkie" theatres. Several of these cells will be shown as well as many other interesting small devices. The mechanical engineering departments deal with the design, manufacture and operation of machinery. The wood shop contains lathes, saws, planers and other equipment which is necessary in the manufacture of various wood objects. It is here that wood patterns are made to form the "prints" in sand, preliminary to the making of castings. The forge and foundry laboratory contains equipment for the welding and shaping of iron and steel, and for the making of castings from molten metal. Lathes, planers, drills, grinders, saws and other power machinery and tools in the machine shop, are used to work cold steel to finish castings, etc. The steam laboratory should be mentioned, for it contains "three wonders of the world." They consist of a simplified aeroplane, a pipeless water faucet, from which water flows, and a ball bouncing on air. The extraction and purification of various metals from their ores and the mining operations, are performed in the mining and metallurgy laboratories. There are other interesting devices, too numerous to mention, but everyone should come to the Engineers' Open House, Friday, May 8, and see for himself what a credit this development is to the University.

Greek Letter Men to Give Annual Ball Friday; New Plan Inaugurated The Interfraternty Ball, which is an annual function given by the Greek fraternities on the campus, will be held Friday, May 8. There have been several new schemes devised. The dance in former years has been a formal affair, but new plans have been made. This year the function will be conducted as a spring dance, with the men wearing white flannels and dark coats instead of the usual formal dress suits. The ball promises to be an unusual affair this year and should improve upon its reputation of former years. Letters and Sweaters For Rifle Team Men Ten men were awarded letters and sweaters by the A. S. U. W. for their work on the rifle teams this year. Those chosen were: Victor Mullens, captain; Vincent Bowles, captain elect; Jack Richards, C. F. Hyland. Burr Robbins, Devere Hinckley, Cyril Horton, Stanley Trachta, Carl Mowrey and Edward Mucho. Irrational Club Is Addressed by Sechrist The Math Club held its regular meeting Thursday evening in Engineering Hall. Professor Sechrist gave a very interesting and thorough lecture on slide rule computation and operation, preceded by a brief history of the origin of this time and labor saving little device. Mr. Sechrist displayed a large collection of slide rules, ranging from one very large rule on down to varieties of the smallest rules made. Following Professor Sechrist's instructive talk the meeting adjourned. Prof. Mallory, Prof. Wheeler and Dr. Vass were D. M. A. dinner guests Sunday. Miss Kathryn Myer of Casper was a dinner guest of the Pi Omega house last Saturday. Sigma Alpha Epsilon entertained at dinner Sunday for Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard of the University faculty.

GOOD WILL TROUPE RETURNS FROM ITS TOUR OF WYOMING (Continued from page 1) helped the turn-out. The Players next land at Thermopolis, and they certainly enjoyed their short stay there. The audience was appreciative and received the players with much acclaim. Lovell was the next stop and the Collegians received a very pleasant surprise. Four small towns: Lovell, Cowley, Byran and Deaver all cooperated into putting on a big banquet for the University people. Deaver is a very small place where little or no entertainment is received and the troup was very enthusiastic over the reception they received there. Cody was the next place at which the troup stopped and the turnout was one of the biggest that was seen on the entire trip. There was only standing room in the house, and the cast was received afterwards with an alumni banquet at the hotel, with Milward Simpson a well-known and well-liked University graduate acting as toastmaster. The press notices received from this city were also of the very best. Powell was the next city on the trip, and here they also had a record crowd. In fact, there was no city which did not turn out well to see the University Players. The last city on the trip was Casper and the audience here, as well as at the other stops, enthusiasticall received the play, the program and the orchestra. The entire trip lasted from April 22 to May 3, and comments on the management, acting, executive ability, and financial success of the whole enterprise were very favorable. Every trip that the University Players has made has been well received, and more financially successful. It seems to be a worthwhile project and we know that they will continue to be more successful than ever in the future. ELOPING JUDGE SUSPENDS WITHERS SPEED SENTENCE Grant Withers and Loretta Young, featured in "Too Young to Marry," the First National production, which comes to the Crown Theatre, Sunday and Monday, eloped a year ago by airplane, marrying in Yuma, Arizona. The day after their marriage the groom had his automobile tagged four times, twice for parking near hydrants and twice for passing boulevard stops. Things looked fairly dubois for the newlyweds, till the judge suspended sentence with the words , "I know how you feel, I eloped myself!" Others in the cast of "Too Young to Marry" are O. P.

HISTORIAN AND AUTHOR WILL DONATE TIME TO TEXT BOOK WRITING (continued from page 1) chosen to teach sociology and political economy, the choosing, of which is now under the consideration of President Crane, Dean Miller, head of Liberal Arts departments and Doctor Hebard. Doctor Hebard came to the University three years after the founding of the institution. She came to fulfill the duty as a trustee, having been appointed by Governor Amos Barbar. Miss. Hebard held the office of Secretary of the Board for thirteen years, fiscal agent of the University for 18 years, and also served as librarian for 26 years, serving in more than one capacity at the same time. During this early years of the University one person held many duties and fulfilled many tasks. Dr. Hebard made her first speech before the faculty and the student body in January, 1891, at a Chapel which was held in the rooms now occupied by the secretary's office. Doctor Hebard, in her many years of service at the University, has attended every commencement, beginning with the first in 1892, four years after the founding, to the present day. Doctor Hebard will continue to do her work in the office which has been hers for forty-one years to work, teach and study in. Sample Line Of FISK HATS All New Models and Light Shades M. A.
