BARR IN LECTURE
ON WATER POWER
Talked to Engineering Students al
Highland Park College on
Power Plant.

DR.. G. Walter Barr, who recently
went to Des Moines to become asso-
ciated with Highland Park college
there, spoke to the engineering stu
dents Thursday. His talk was on the
water power project here. The fol-
lowing is from The Highlander, the
official student paper OF that college:
Thursday evening, April /, in the
chapel at 7:45 p. NJ, DR.. G.. Walter
Barr delivered stereopticon lecture
on the worlds greatest water power.
DR.. Barr was connected with the Keo-
kuk water power from its promotion
days, throughout it's construction and
until he came to Highland Park col
lege this month. The lecture was
under the auspices Of the A. I. E. E.
and the Civil Engineering society, but
the lecture, while complete and ac-
curate enough for the engineers, was
entirely in popular language and the
pictures made something plain to ev-
erybody, so that the public were in
vited to attend. Visitors are going to
the keokuk water power at the rate
of five thousand month, and high
land Park students and their friends
saw it really better through these
stereopticon pictures than by going
to Keokuk. A large number of stu
dents and friends heard the lecture.
