(U.FD i Massachusetts Institute of Tech i nonolgy has set up a laboratory of earth sciences to study our planet's solid interior, the at mosphere, the oceans and the land masses between. Prof. Henry G. Houghton, head of MIT's meteorology de partment, will take charge of the new lab. The lab will be operated jointly by the depart ments of meteorology, geology and geophysics. The lab will attempt a new j and integrated approach "to ex perimental and theoretical in vestigations of man's environ ment," Harrison said. The professor said that "a dash of imagination" will be added to "spice" scientific observations. "Controlled imagination often is the chief tool of the earth scientist when he assails such questions as formation of conti nents, causes of climate or the nature of the earth four billion years ago," Harrison said. The laboratory is expected to become a research center for geologists, geochemists, geophys icisls. meteorologists and ocean- I ographers. Man's Possibilities Are Symbolized in Lincoln, Jones Says -ftoraham Lincoln is a sym bol of the possibility in the com mon man," Dr. William C. Jones, dean of administration at the University of Oregon told a ga thering of about 90 Republicans last night at the annual Lincoln Day dinner at the Jackson hotel. Dr. Jones described Lincoln as a complex man whose gen ius people want to know more about, despite charges that he was a demigod only because fa vorable circumstances made him so. . "We all are sons and daugh ters of the cbmmon people," Dr. Jones said, "and Lincoln dem onstrated that our possibilities can be realized because, if for no other reason, we are Ameri cans." Pre-Eminant American Americans are eager to ex perience more of Lincoln's per sonality, according to the uni versity dean. As a result "he looms in the heart of most of us as the pre-eminent American," he added. Dr. Jones said Lincoln sym bolized the fact American people have built a nation with '"alleg iances that transcend its differ ences." He pointed out the New Eng land yankee, the Texan, foreign languages spoken on New York's Magnolia st.. the westerner and the American Indian are ex amples of the "great diversity of the country's population" that were preserved because of the Civil War. "It would be terrifying to speculate," the speaker said, "what the country would have been like now had Lincoln chos en the path of least resistance and let the Union dissolve." An other decision may have divided the United States into a group of Balkan states, he said. As it turned out, Dr. Jones said, Lincoln saved the Union. "He demonstrated free men can build institutions and develop loyalties strong enough to curb their differences," according to the dean. "Lincoln also pointed out that if these institutions and loyalties are to be lasting, America must develop men of "good will' who have tolerance with those with whom they disagree," Dr. Jones said. He concluded that Lincoln shall remain the "eternal sym bol of the Republican party." E. H. Singmaster, master of ceremonies, was elected presi dent of the Jackson County Lin coln club. Jack Eberhart, Ash land High school student, read Lincoln's Gettysburg address during the program.
