Cfjtnoofe THE NATURAL HISTORY CLUB This club, under Mr. McCalla’s enthusiastic leadership, has had many interesting meetings. Subjects for study during the year were divided into four divisions: geology, insects, birds and plants. Through illustrated lectures and talks, of which some were given by students, work was done under each of these divisions. Mr. McCalla gave a lecture on Southern California, using colored slides. An interesting talk was also given by Mr. Loucks on “Game Birds of Canada.” A third instructive lecture, very much enjoyed by the club, was one given by Mr. Fowler, of the Institute of Technology, dealing with the method of obtain¬ ing gas from crude oil. The members are looking forward to many more interesting meetings in the spring. Trips to Turner Valley Oil Fields, St. George’s Island and the bird sanctuary have been planned, as well as one or two hikes. The latter should certainly prove enjoyable with Mr. McCalla to interpret many of the beauties and wonders of nature. “Knowledge, never learned of schools, Of the wild bee’s morning chase. Of the wild flower’s time and place, Flight of fowl and habitude Of the tenants of the wood.”—Whittier. Page Twenty-7 liree
