Sea Bottom
On Wednesday, October 17, at 2
o'clock members of the Zoology
and Botany classes will make a
Field Trip on the "Se-Bot-M" bo_t
to the Marine Gardens beyond
Cape Florida.
During this trip members of the

the Miller-Dunn Divinhood while
collecting specimens on the floor
of the bay. A representative of
Pathe News will accompany the
expedition and make moving pictures for News Reel Release.
The regular price for the trip is
$2.00. Inasmuch as the boat is
chartered for the day, the price is
put at $1.00 for University people
making the trip. Other students
having the afternoon free and de-1
siring to make the trip are permitted to come for the same price.
Payment must be made in advance
to either-Florence Muser or J. F.
W. Pearson.
The boat leaves the city docks,
across from the Everglades Hotel,
at 2 p. m. sharp.
Frank Peterson, newly chosen
president, took the chair and presided over the election of the three

aree, Miami High School's publication; Herbert Lutz, a candidate for

equipment which has been stored
in the loft of the fertilizer warehouse for several years, filled a
number of large cases; it adds
materially to the facilities of the
science departments in general and
to the chemistry department in
particular. *
Some of the larger pieces are:
Labortary filter-press, Hoskihs
electric pyrometer, double-walled
electric oven, vacuum distillation
apparatus and manometer, electric
heating shelf and condenser for
fertilizer analysis, large variety of
apparatus of molecular weight determinations, double walled water
oven, clinical microtome, apparatus
for drawing, projection and photography of the microscope field,
flasks, beakers, dishes, bottles, etc.,
worth mora than $100, and chemicals worth about $100.
After considerable work 'n
cleaning off the fertilizer dust, and
in polishing, labelling etc., the
items have been placed in the
equipment of the chemistry department. An inventory shows that
the value of the items, if purchased
new, would be between $1,000 and
$1,100.
The gift is substantial, concrete
evidence that the interests of the
University of Miami are very close
to the heart of Mr. Harrison, a
fact wh-4Mt_oso who know -kirn
were certain of long ago.
Students Are Asked To
Send Handbooks To Friends
An appeal is made to the students of the University to co-operate with the Bureau of Publication-
of the Student Association in advertising the University of Miami
throughout  the country.
To help accomplish this end the
Association is requesting that the
students send to their familie-
and friends copies of the University handbooks. The Association

and standards of the University.

Fifteen students of the University have already 'turned out' as
prospective members of Harry O.
Traylor's University of Miami
Band. Harry conducted the first
rehearsal of the band last Wednesday, October 10. He expects at
least ten more musicians to report
at the next rehearsal Wednesday.
October 17, at 2:30 in the band
room.
Harry wishes to impress it upon
the minds of the members and those
wishing to become members of the
band that they must be at all rehearsals and cooperate in every
way. Dr. Ashe has said, "This is
one of the most important organizations of the school, and it is imperative that all stand by it just
as the football men stand by the
team."
The type of music to be played
at present will be the latest popular numbers. The band will appear
at all football games and other
student activities during the year.
A large and appreciative audience attended the first appearance
of the University Symphony orchestra, which began its third season, Sunday. October 14 at the Miami Senior High School.
