COLLEGE SPIRIT
PUT TO WORK
Bluffton College Gets New
Building Put Up By
Alumni

Button, O., Sept 1.-(UP)-The
technique used by Tom Sawyer in
getting others to whitewash his
fence has been employed successfully
in the construction of a building
on the Button college campus.
Last spring when the college ex-
pressed its need for a building to
house student industries, Carl j.
LAndes. Pennsylvania with the
"old college spirit" volunteered to
get one built. Labor and funds
were to be donated.
To obtain help Landes made the
work pleasure. Letters were sent
&c alumni, faculty, students and
friends of the school urging them
to spend one week of the best
vacation you ever spent anywhere
b Bluffton.
The vacation would be the
razing Of an abandoned schoo,
building which had been pur.
chased by the college for the
bricks and other materials witt
which to construct the new cam.
pus unit.
The project was called the
"Bluffton College Camp" A scho.
lastic aura was thrown around Il
with the booking of well-knowr
speakers for discussion forums ane
the opening OF the college library
A program OF softball, swimming
tennis, and other sports was ar
ranged and free room and board
signs were hung out.
Women as we'll as men we're in
vited. Their duties we're to cleal,
bricks, pull nails, direct recrea ton
and cook meals.
The appeal sent out by Landes
read; Don't miss this week OF
work, discussion, recreation. and
fun. If you can't spend week
spend five days, two days, one day
but come.
And they came, Indiana, Illinois
Iowa, Kansas, and Pennsylvania

campus.
The old building was demolished
BY Aug. ! and the new building /:
well on its way to completion. II
Is reported that the work will be
finished by the opening of school

The sundial was mans first me-

progress of shadow. The earliest
known reference to a Sundial was by
Isaiah. about 700 Be: Behold, l
will bring again the shadow of the
degrees, which is gone down in the
sundial of Ahaz. . ="
The next dial of record was made
by Chaldean astronomer 400 years
later. He used hollow hemisphere
with needle in the center. The
circular arc described by the needle S
shadow. when divided into IL equal
parts. determined u intervals of
the day. For a thousand years
Arabia used this type of dial.
Among the ancient Greeks the
sundial was known as a gnomon.
They greatly improved on the Baby
lonian invention. constructing an in
strument so ingenious and complex
that they were enabled to solve the
most intricate astronomical prob
lens. At Athens there is an ancient
Tower of the Winds, a monument to
the science of sun and wind record

sundial on each side.
