The French Club
Grace Ross, ’33
Le Cercle Francais count themselves for
tunate in having Mr. Edward Jones, of the
French Department of Morehouse College,
as their speaker on Friday evening, Febru
ary 11th, on the subject, “The Museums of
France and Especially the Louvre.” Mr.
Jones distributed a fine collection of pic
tures and booklets which helped the audi
ence in following the lecture and in getting
much information about the collections that
may be studied in French museums. A
further advantage of this excellent program
was the opportunity to ask questions, which
brought out still more knowledge of French
art and the art collections of France.

Two Meetings of the
Biology Club
On January Kith a joint meeting of the
Biology Club with the Science and Mathe
matics Club heard Dr. Albro give reports
from the December, 1932, meeting of the
American Association for the Advancement
of Science, which she attended in Atlantic
City, New Jersey. Concerning the nature
and work of this association the club mem
bers learned that it is confined to the West
ern Hemisphere, is divided into fifteen sec
tions in which nearly 200 organizations in
the United States and Canada are affiliated.
At the meetings of the groups, of the sec
tions, and of the entire association there i-
a process of pooling all valuable discoveries
made by researchers and not previously re
ported.
A few of the interesting investigations
which Miss Albro reported to the clubs were
these: (1) Demonstrations of proofs that
the temperature maintained during the hatch
ing of eggs is related to the heat insistence
of the animal afterwards. (2) Discoveries
of the possibilities of treating wounds by
means of sterilized maggots. The maggots
are from sterilized eggs; which are treated
bacteriologically. (3) Another interesting
report given was of an explanation given by
means of moving pictures and lecture of the
process by which nerve fibers may be re
generated in tadpoles and salamanders.
The attendance at the Atlantic City meet
ing was much over 3,000.
The meeting of the Biology Club on Feb
ruary 10th, addressed by Dr. Newell, was
for the students of the department no less
interesting than the previous report con
cerning the large things being done in the
field, for she added in another way to the
impulse to become useful investigators in
the field of science. She took her audience
informally into her own experience after
the completion of her undergraduate work in
biology; into her experiences of teaching
and then on her travels and into her studies
in Leipsic and at Naples, having most thril
ling experiences based on what she had
learned in undergraduate studies and in
teaching. Graduate study did not seem like
a dreadful trial or drudging; it seemed like
a piece of grand experience which was a
fulfillment of dreams about the wonders of
nature.
