The tea will be given from 3 to 5 in alumnae hall of Gerlinger, and a talk on “The Decorative Il lustration of Books,” by N. B.

A place in the “browsing room” of the new library is planned for the collection, among the books in the “read for pleasure” class. All of the books are fine edi tions of the standard classics, many beautifully illustrated, and several volumes exemplify rare printing. 1 Two of the latest beautiful book acquisitions by the library are, “A Certain Young Man of Assisi,” by May E. Southworth, illustrated by Will Wilke, and printed by John Henry Nash; and Tennyson’s “Maud,” printed in 1893 by the Kelmscott press, under the direc tion of William Morris. Others included in the collection are, “Arabian Nights,” edited by Kate Douglas Wiggin, and Nora A. Smith, and illustrated by Maxfield Parrish, "The Blessed Damozel” and "Sister Helen” by Rosetti, “Ru baiyat of Omar Khayyam,” illus trated by Willy Pogany, and scores of other famed works.

Mr. Lane was the speaker at last year’s tea. The silver tea will be open to the public, and is being sponsored by the American Association of Uni versity Women, and the State As sociation of University of Oregon Women, and will be an annual event hereafter.

Students Probe Local Streams To Close Term If you have noticed earnest look ing students digging, probing, or examining the various streams :n Eugene, it is not an indication that in contemplation of spring term exams they are looking for the deepest or best-suited pool in which to drown, they are just mak ing a whole-hearted effort to com plete their zoology projects, whit h are being carried out independent ly by each zoology laboratory mem ber. The students were given 14 prob lems to choose from last week and Saturday noon, June 8, will see the finish of the projects. At that time they are required to hand in. a paper on the results of the work.
