the moon appear but 25 miles away. Furthermore, the increasing of the light- collecting power will make possible more detailed study of the size, shape, and structure of the galactic system; also the distance, motion, and nature of remote nebulae. As the apparatus now in the Institute is not powerful enough to be used with the new telescope, well equipped shops for the development of new instruments have been built on the campus; and spcial emphasis has been placed on the construction of the delicate apparatus used in receiving, recording, and interpreting celestial images. As yet, the visitor has seen only that side of the school dealing with pro- fessional studies. He may now enter the Dabney Hall of Humanities where the study of literature, history, and like subjects is pursued. The beauty and spa- ciousness of the interior at once impress him, doubly so perhaps by reason of the contrast to the technical activities he has been observing. There are various lecture and reading rooms; a library completely equipped in every detail; attractively furnished lounges; an art gallery; and classrooms for the study of cultural subjects. Here are chances to supplement and enlarge one ' s ideas, for cultural courses are required to offset the tendency of specialized technical education to limit the interests of students. As the visitor leaves the California Institute of Technology, he realizes that the students he has watched have every opportunity to learn the facts of mod- ern science; that they are expected to do original work and thus share in the progress of the world of knowledge. Bradford Morse, S ' 34 The Open Road Above his books the youth has raised his eyes And gazed upon the fields and hills — Beheld the life that in them stirred and moved Each blade of grass; into his heart there surged The joy of life on this warm, breathing earth Where every tiny creature is a part Of one gigantic pattern of existence. He left behind him strife and worldly cares To wander in the woods ' neath skies star-filled, To hear the song of birds who sleepless flit From branch to branch of fragrant pine or oak. And here, away from books and desks, he learned The tales of Science as Nature tells them to Her child who follows where she leads. Mary Bennett, S ' 34
