ogy classes, Thursday March 16.

by the chemistry students. He

the testing of meat for purity. The

explained and demonstrated before
the class. This test is known as
the Babcock milk test
The milk that was tested showed a
good percentage of cream.
DIR Thompson ended his talk by
telling the students what a great
advantage they had in the lab
oratories and good books which the
schools furnish. He also expressed
the desire to see a greater per-
centage of the students take up a
technical training as in physics,
chemistry, etc.

preciated by all present and thanks
are due him for the time spent
toward making the talk.
