tryouts construction of stage settings and other technical work will be started after the tryouts have been com pleted 3 students will perform at next concert lack of student support necessitates decision month ago the possibility of hav ing mrs akeley here had not even been considered by the committee in charge it all come out of the unexpected cancellation of dr beebe's talk scheduled for that date the com mittee was definitely on the spot to provide a top-notch substitute the students had been looking forward to dr beebe's appearance and someone equally brilliant and equally interesting was needed to fill the vacancy the upshot of it all was that i was sent to new york ordered to find a speaker who could fill the bill tries big name agency at first i went to several of the big-name agencies they were all long on suggestions but short on the kind of talent that lehigh wanted there didn't seem to be anyone with that rare combination of academic distinction and personal charm that makes a lecture an event so i played a hunch i went up to the american mu seum of natural history on central park west entered the magnificent new roosevelt addition and found mrs akeley's office on the third floor all i knew about mrs akeley was that her husband carl akeley was until his death a foremost nat uralist the first scientist to study gorillas in their native habitat and that she had written a book carl akeley's africa which had sold through several editions and receiv ed a great deal of expert praise i told her that we were faced with an unfortunate cancellation and explained briefly what we were looking for mrs akeley exhibits slides mrs akeley's manner is very di rect here are some of my slides she said let's look at them and see whether they'd appeal to college students we looked at several dozen most of them were taken deep in carl akeley's africa they were hand somely colored in the lush tones of the equatorial jungles then we walked through carl akeley hall in the museum a sec tion as large as the nave of packer chapel has been set aside as a mem orial for the great naturalist on four sides are great habitat groups continued on page four

meeting of the committee friday afternoon in dean mcconn's office a total of 44 freshmen had sent ap plications but seven were refused because of low scholastic standings however those who were rejected are eligible to apply for the course next fall if they so desire the committee will start as soon as it is able to organize the course members are still considering ways to conduct the course may enlarge committee at the present time the commit tee consists of ten members one of the considered ways is to assign four men to each of seven of the advisors and three to the other ad visors another proposal is to en large the number of advisors by three to six faculty members so that each advisor will have fewer men so that he can give more attention to the students assigned to him a
