for last time this year several students give talks on special h^work the last meeting of the honors group on friday may 18 proved to be a most outstanding one inasmuch as it was conducted entirely by members of the group this idea of having stu dents present before the others some of the results of their honors work was tried as au experiment and its success makes it quite probable that such a method will become a practice in the future the meeting was opened by dr boyn ton chairman of the honors group who introduced gerald b leighbody speaking on the kinetic theory and stellar evolution this talk included a discussion of the nebular hypothesis of laplace and its displacement by tho kinetic theory of gases mr leigh body also spoke of the formation of the different kinds of stars and the theory that atoms are minute stellar systems however all these theories he said are based on the assumption that the con ditions of the laboratory hold true for the stars because of the fact that this assumption is unjustified we know nothing at all for certain observations on the larvae of eristalis tenax was the somewhat startling subject of the next paper pre sented by edmund j farris this crea ture with the long name it seems re sembles the honey-bee and lives on the same food after a short history of the belief in spontaneous generation and its final overthrow mr farris ex plained the problem upon which he him self hnd been working namely the problem of keeping the flies alive dur ing the winter in order to have them available for study after careful ex perimentation he found this to be pos sible by keeping the flies in low tem peratures mr farris regretted the fact that his observations were not yet com pleted owing to the fact that he was forced to return the electric ice-box

peii was remembered in the nineteenth century and became the object of or ganized excavation the wonderful preservation of everything has made it possible to learn much about the life of roman cities during the time when pompeii flourished morris e opler closed the meeting with a short talk on honors work as till aid to sociology he defined lion ors work ris a system of instruction which has for its purpose the creation of sound and original material by the student mr opler expressed his 1 lief tli ut the ordinary college course leaves a student deficient not in facts but in ability to apply them and to think problems through this ability he thinks is developed by honors work and he has found it extremely bene ficial to himself in his study of sociol ogy dr boynton expressed his apprecia tion of the splendid work done by these four students and by the group in gen eral he also voiced his hope that next year may be even mine of asu s than this has been course in first year spanish
