GOVERNMENT PRAISES WORK OF UNIVERSITY With Settlement of Contracts, War Department Thanks Institution for its Cooperation Praise of the University and the aid it gave the government during S. A. T. C. days is given generously in a letter to President W. A. Jessup from the office of Newton D. Baker, secretary of war acknowledging the termination of contractual relations between the University and the government. The final settlement which was completed only a week or two ago involved more than $300,000. In part the letter states: "I am glad of this opportunity to express to you my recognition of the patience, devotion, and skill with which both teachers and executives played the parts which they were asked to play. The proposals of the War Department invariably met with a prompt and cordial response, and a willingness to make very genuine sacrifice where these seemed to be required by the nation's military need. "In the matter of financial adjustments which were recently concluded, the institution has shown not only forbearance in its claims, but in many cases great generosity in the actual terms of the settlement. It is a fact which is deserving of public recognition that the service rendered by the educational institutions has been wholly without pecuniary profit to themselves. The settlements have one and all been made upon the principle that the government should protect institutions only from actual financial loss. For all this service in so far as it relates to the War Department I beg to express my profound gratitude; and at the same time to bespeak for the War Department your continued cooperation in the time to come. "Any wise provision for the national defense will inevitably involve the utilization of educational agencies. As war is now largely a matter of applied science, so military training is largely a matter of education. Any permanent military policy that may be adopted will therefore depend to no small extent for its successful execution upon your counsel and active assistance." MORE COPIES OF HANDBOOK One hundred more copies of the national security league handbook "War Facts and Peace Problems" by Arthur L. Frothingham, have been received at Prof. Prof. C. H. Weller's office, 13 liberal arts. These handbooks are free to those desiring them. SYLVESTER TELLS OF REHABILITATION WORK University Psychologist Describes Army Method of Occupational and Physical Therapy In an illustrated lecture at the liberal arts assembly Thursday evening Capt. Reuel H. Sylvester, psychologist at Camp Grant, told how efficiently occupational and physical therapeutics was used there in restoring 1200 wounded soldiers to health and fitting them to take their place in society. As soon as a wounded man was able to use his hands he was taught some kind of work such as basketry, clay modeling, and leather working, which he could finish in a few days, said Dr. Sylvester. This not only kept him pleasantly occupied but was of great mental benefit. Meanwhile he was given the best of medical care. Massage, electrical appliances, and all other means known to science were used in restoring helpless limbs to usefulness. When he had improved sufficiently to be around he was given the choice of various lines of education best suited for his needs. Among these were typewriting, accounting, academic work, electricity, shop work, and auto repairing. Upon leaving the camp he was given a certificate indicating the work completed. The work done was amazing, stated Captain Sylvester. Especially was the improvement along scholastic lines very marked. Men who could neither read, write, nor speak English became quite proficient in a few months. HOUSER TALKS SATURDAY Shows Diagrams of Brains of Lower Animals--Explains Evolution "Stimulation and Conduction in Animals and the Origin and Evolution of the Nervous System", was the title of a lecture given Saturday morning at eight o'clock in room 107 by Dr. Gilbert Houser. One of the new discoveries Dr. Houser mentioned was that of being able to dissect a cell by the means of a mechanical hand. From the experiments on the lower animals facts have been found that are of benefit for the knowledge of the human system. Dr. Houser defined polarization as the fundamental change that takes place is stimulation. Conduction is a necessary sequence to stimulation. Conduction is the progressive depolarization of the cells following stimulation. In the nervous system of animals the effects of stimulation are movements of the animal in which the animal is taken away from environment that is injurious and put in better environment. Lower animals have extremely simple nervous systems. Man owes his knowledge of the nervous system to the lower animals. Dr. Houser had diagrams showing the brain of the lower animal and explained the greater development of the brain in the higher animals. WILLIAMS-BELL The Lorain (Ohio) Times-Herald of several days ago contains the account of the marriage of Lulu Williams of the city and Charles B. Bell, principal of the Grinnell high school and alumnus of the University. Mr. Bell recently returned from Y. M. C. A. work in France. He was formerly principal of the Monmouth, Ill., high school. Prof. Gilbert L. Houser will hold a seminar on modern biology Tuesday evening July 22 at 7:30. Students are invited to send him in advance such biological topics as they may wish to have discussed at that time. WEEKLY CALENDAR Monday, July 21 4:00 p. m.
