At present he has the beginning of a representative collection of insects. Some are from Pennsylvania and New York, while he has a general collection from Florida. He has a large number of tropical insects from British Guiana, Sowth America, where he spent several summers working with William Beebe at the Kartabo station of the New York Zoological Society. Among the marine forms in the showroom are specimens from the Sargasso Sea which Mr. Pearson obtained during his trip on the Arcturns with William Beebe, the famous explorer.
Other marine specimens are sponges and corals from Biscayne Bay and that part of the Atlantic Ocean adjoining it. There are also a number of skins of monkeys, sloths and snakes. Among the last named is an eighteen-foot anaconda or water boa.
From time to time Mr. Pearson has received collections from zoologists and botanists. The latest C. Palmer. This marine algae made by Mr. Palmer’s father, J. W. Palmer, from all parts of the world during the seventies and eighties of the past century. The specimens, which are beautifully mounted, have not yet been placed on exhibition.

J. A- Kyle, manager of the Curtiss Flying School at Portland, Me., is expected to arrive about December 1 with his staff of pilots and mechanics to manage the Miami school. At least nine airplanes, three training craft, three charter craft and three water craft will be brought to Miami about December 1.

K. R. CLOSE TALKS AT CIYITAN CLUB
Romantic History of Florida Discussed; Jean Ribaut First Booster
“Florida has a more romantic and interesting history than that of any other American state,” said Prof. Kenneth R. Close of the University of Miami history department, in an address Friday, October 19, at the luncheon of the Miami Civitan Club in the Robert Clay Hotel. Mr. Close’s topic was the “Early History of Florida.” Mr. Close continued in part: “The average Miamian’s knowledge of his state’s career begins with Ponce de Leon, of whom he has seen representations in pageants. Then occurs a gap of 400 years and his historical knowledge resumes with the rapid rise of Miami.
“As Florida citizens we ought to know and revel in the historical riches of our commonwealth.
“The first rush to Florida began 400 years ago. Ponce de Leon, the forerunner, sought wealth and the fountain of youth. Wealth was to be wrested from the soil, not found in golden nuggets; his fountain has been found by others in the youthgiving sun, sir, fruit and ocean.
“A French explorer, Jean Ribaut, was the first real Florida booster. He wrote back home as follows: ‘This is the fairest, fruitfullest and pleasantest land of all the world!’ “The first wholesale development was the English indigo plantation venture at New Smyrna about

The students and faculty of the University of Miami were guests of the men’s Bible class conducted by Dr. Everett S. Smith at the Olympia theater Sunday, October 21. President Ashe was to give the preliminary remarks, but due to the fact that he was unexpectedly caP.-ed out of the state, Dr. Holdsworth substituted. As Frank Strubbc. president of the Bible class introduced Professor Holdsworth, the organist broke into the strains >f “Hail to the Spirit of Miami U,”| and every university student, rose followed by that great audience of 1,000 people.	>
Dr. Holdsworth spoke on the connecting link between a cultural institution, as the University of Miami, and the religious world. Both, he brought out, were striving for] the betterment of social conditions,] and to create within the minds of the people, especially the young] people, higher objectives with purer and cleaner thoughts and actions.
Harry Provin also was introduced and reviewed brifely the history in the field of athletics for the past two years, and then dwelt upon the future of the university and the possibilities of athletics and other school activities during year.
