institutions eightieth birth

several hundred former stu
dents who have received
training in Buffers aca-
demic halls but have not re-
ceived degrees.
Approximately One-third Of the
universitys alumni live IN Indian
apOlis and environs.
The university has occupied
three campuses during its history.
Established originally on a cam
pus at 13th-st and College-av, as
Northwestern Christian Univer-
sitv. the school remained on that
location for 20 years. College-av
received its name from the fact
that the university was located on
it. In 1875. due to expansion and
the general congestion about its
centrally located campus. the uni
versity was moved to Irvington.
THAT same year, 1875, the
IL name of the school was
changed to Butler University in
honor of the benefactions of Ovid
Butler. one of its founders. Mr..
Butler. who was one of Indianap-
oils leading attorneys during the
last century. was the guiding spir-
il in organizing and establishing
the institution in 1855.
He was chairman of the first
board of directors and gave lib
orally of his personal fortune
that the school might prosper
during its early years.
Mr.. Butler gave the Irvington
campus when it was decided to
move in 1875. In recognition of
this gift and of his continued in
terest. the university board of
trustees that year voted to change
the name in his honor.
Mr.. Butler steadfsstly opposed
this action but his objections we're
Over-ruled. Later he established
the Demia Butler chair of English
literature and on two occasions
his son. Scot Butler. served as
president of the university.
A HIGHLIGHT in early his
n tory of the school occur
red in 1871 when James A. Gar
field. 10Th president of the United
S.ates. was awarded the honorary
ucctor of laws degree at the six
teenth annual commencenl ent ex-
erciSes.
President Garfield came to In
dianapolis for the ceremonies.
Other famous men who have since
been similarly honored by the
university include David Starr
Jordon. famous scientist and one
time member of the Butler fac
ulty; Oliver Perry Morton, war
Governor of Indiana; 2. T. Swee-
ney. former minister to Turkey.
and Catherine Merrill, one of the
first women TO hold a college pro-
feSSorship in Indiana.
In 1923 the institution was
moved to its new campus in the
northern part of the city.

Swollen waters of a small stream
swept under culvert where a family
party sought refuge from storm

Jr., grandfather and father of the
younger boy; Wilbert Lawrence, a
brother of Kalman, and Charles Fry,
all of Lancaster, who had been fish

Storm waters surged down wash
ing the boys from their places and
dashing large stones against the
others.
The younger boy and Kalman, his
uncle, were carried down to the
bank of the river nearby and were
swept into the current.-Quarryville,

SHORE INCONSISTENCIES IN THE
TOLLS

An early morning raid by officers
of the Alcohol Tax Unit upon a
moonshining outfit in woods near
Ingleside early Friday morning
resulted in the seizure of SO gal
ions of alleged whiskey, 1450 gal
Ions of mash, 1929 Oakland roads
ter, and two moderate sized stills.
Several arrests were made by the
officers under the direction OF lnspec-
tor C. ]. Callahan with Agents w. T.
Roe, and H. D. Thompson figuring in
the raid.
The officers, however, declined to
reveal the identity of their prisoners.
1t was the second raid in the First
District within week.
Tyler Pruitt, of Belair,> alleged
operator of a still destroyed near
Massey some weeks ago and consid-
cred a possible ringleader of a moon
shine gang operating in the Upper
Shore, was held under $4,000 bail for
appearance before the United States
District Court after a hearing before
u. S. Commissioner William R.
Horney in Centreville on charges of
violations of Federal liquor laws
Saturday. Pruitt was apprehended
by Deputy Sheriff Elwood Racine, of
Cecil County, and Officer Roe.
Pruitt is the last of seven men
wanted as the outgrowth of the raid.
The other six including his brother
William have already been out under
bond by Commissioner Horney for
appearance before the Federal court.

Monkey Business?

Scientists of the Bell Telephone
Laboratories have proved conclusivcly
that the popular NEON that animals
can hear more acutely than man is a
misconception. At a recent meeting
of the Acoustical Society of America
held in New York, J. C. Steinberg, an
engineer Of the telephone laboratories,
in summarizing the testing of human
hearing with monkeys, chimpanZees
and other animals dispe!led this
theory.
In demonstrating this fact, Mr..
Steinberg showed conclusively that for
tones in the middle and lower part of
the audible range, the hearing of the
chimpanzee, monkey, cat and guinea
pig is not essentially developed from
that of the human being. The cat and
guinea pig are less sensitive than man
for pure tones of pitch near those at
the top of the piano scale and higher.
Monkeys and chimpanzees on the
other hand appeared somewhat more
sensitive than man for tones an octave
above the piano range and higher
pitches. In the experiments the CHM
panzees were trained to press a key
for food when they heard tone from
a receiver which was strapped to one
ear. The guinea pigs were condition
cd by letting them hear a tone for
few seconds and then giving them an
electrical shock. After sufficient repeti-
tions of this procedure, the animals
came to associate the tone with the
coming shoekj this resulted in observ-
able changes in the animals breath
IN.
The cats were tested by inserting
sound tube connected to a receiver
into one ear and measuring the varia-
ton of electrical potential between the
round window of the inner ear and
some other point OH the body. The
audiometers and other sound sources,
also developed by the telephone labora-
tories, were elaborated in terms of the
average response of the human ear by
making comparable test runs on a
large number of individuals.

HOW YOUR CHRISTMAS SEALS
ARE HELPING

Anybody who invested in the
tuberculosis Christmas Seals last
year, and who would like 30 know
what is being done with the funds
derived from the sale of the seals in
the counties of Maryland, can find
partial answer to the question in the
chest clinics that are held throughout
the counties under the joint auspices
of the Maryland Tuberculosis Associ-
alton and the State Department OF
Health. These clinics are financed
largely from the sale of the Christ
mas Seals. The Preventorium at
Claiborne, where children who have
been in contact with tuberculosis, or
who are below par, physically, are
cared for during the summer months,
and are helped to grow well and
strong, is another activity that is
made possible through the sale of the
Christmas Seals.
A new record form adopted recent
ly by the Maryland tuberculosis As
sociation, for the monthly chest
clinics makes it possible to see at a
glance the findings at the examina-
lions in each county. The report for
the first three months of the current
year, as summarized by the State
Department of Health, shows that So
clinics, at which nearly 1900 per-
sons were examined, were held in the
counties during the first three
months of the current year,
OF those examined 500 were white
and 295 colored, and it was found
that tuberculosis had developed in
432-of whom 344 were white and
SO colored. Detailed records given
for PIP of those who were found to
have tuberculosis showed that IS
were under fourteen years old and
the rest were older. In the younger
group 81 were white and IL colored.
In the older group, ia were white
and 80 colored Some of the cases
were in the early stages of the dis
ease, 40-of whom "a were white
and colored-were moderately ad-
vanced and IL white and col
ored were far advanced. Sanatorium
care was advised for $50 white
and IA colored. Instructions and
n 70 of
to the rest.
Arrangements for the clinics are
made in each county by the county
health officers assisted by the public
health nurse. A special effort is
made to find persons who have been
exposed to the disease, or who are
underweight or who have constant
cough or who show other early
symptoms of tuberculosis, so that
they may have the benefit of prompt
care and advice.
Many of the cases are referred to
the clinics by their own doctors, who
receive detailed reports of all exami-
nations, just as they would do in any
other consultation service. The ex-
aminations are made by doctors from
the tuberculosis sanatoria in the
State, or by other physicians who
have had special training or expert
ence in the care and treatment of the
disease.
The counties with the largest at
tendance at the clinics during the
first three months of this year, were
Washington 106, Montgomery 1O3,
Wicomico 102, Frederick 101, Cecil
100, Worcester 80, Dorchester 81,
Anne Arundel u, Allegany 50, and
Talbot Ga.
