TO RAISE $300,000 FUNDFOR ROLLINS COLLEGE

Friends of Rollins College "willbe asked during March to subscribea fund of $300,000 in order toguarantee the continued progressof the College for the next threeyears.

Dr. Karl Lehmann is generalchairman of the fund-raising com-mittee and the movement is knownas the "Orange County ProgressFund for Rollins College." Thecampaign will be concentrated dur-ing the first two weeks of March.

Newton P. Yowell, prominentbusiness leader, is chairman of theOrlando committee, and IrvingBacheller, Winter Park's distin-guished author and "first citizen,"of the Winter Park committee.Committees of workers are beingorganized to promote the fund'sactivities.

Dr. Lehmann directed the move-ment ten years ago when OrangeCounty subscribed a fund of morethan $300,000 to launch the "new"Rollins College on its era of prog-ress.

Although the material expansionof Rollins would indicate that theCollege is well along the way to-ward the completion of its buildingprogram, the truth of the matteris that the continued progress ofRollins is seriously threatened bylack of finances.

It is not generally known, Mr.Lehmann points out, that Rollinshas avoided deficits in its operat-ing budget in the past few yearsonly through the efforts of Presi-dent Holt and his associates in se-curing gifts from friends, in effect

by "passing the hat." In the mean-time, the larger program of com-pleting the building program andthe endowment needs has been in-terrupted because of the need ofraising funds to balance the bud-get. •

Of the $300,000 fund a portionwill be used to replace worn outand obsolete equipment in class-rooms, studios, laboratories andresidences, to purchase additionalbooks, and to provide for improve-ment of instruction. A portion willbe set aside to finance additionalscholarships for high school pupilsin Ol'ange County. Another por-tion will be used to landscape andfurnish the new student residences,a provision which is not covered inthe PWA loan for their construc-tion.

Only one or two ofa sort are needed, if they be fine.They want to enter as many kindsas possible, for besides the usualribbons, special prizes of vases areoffered, and there is to be a sweep-stake prize, to be given to the win-ner of the most awards, and whatit may be is shrouded in the deep-

Thecompany is making its third tourof the United States with its orig-inal personnel of dancers, includ-ing Leonide Massine, Irina Baro-nova, David Lichine, Tamara Tou-manova, Tatiana Riabouchinska,Alexandra Danilova and YurekSchabelevsky.

In1916, the Diaghilev Ballet Russevisited only eighteen cities, andwere met in many places with nu-merically slim, if not apathetic,receptions. The march of theMonte Carloans was a triumphantone throughout.

"Children of the Moon"

An excellent performance wasgiven by the Student Company atthe Annie Russell Theatre lastweek of Martin Flavin's play,"Children of the Moon." In everydepartment of the production thehigh standard we have come to ex-pect of this company was main-tained and there were unusuallyeffective high spots that call forspecial praise. Especially merito-rious were the characterizations ofGeorge Call as the old servant, ofWilliam Pearce as Judge Athertou,and of Ruth Dawson as Laura Ath-erton. Miss Dawson's scenes werecarried off with a flair thatstamped her as an exceptional ac-tress.

With all his admiration for thefine performance of the companyand its staff, the writer can notapprove of the selection of thisplay. Such a morbid pathologicalstudy belongs more in a psycho-pathic clinic. It serves to accentu-ate the fact that there is an in-creasingly large number of people,especially young people, who arepessimistic because they feel in-adequate to meet the problems oflife. The opportunity to meet achallenge even of this questionable"moon madness" is lost in a stupidsurrender without a fight. Suchexamples of life will certainly nothelp matters and only further en-courage fatalism and a defeatistattitude toward life's struggle.—C. F, H.

The sudden death of Mrs. CharlesE. Taylor, of Summit, N. J., lastMonday morning was a shock toher circle of friends here. Shehad only arrived recently for astay at the Virginia Inn, cominghere to be near her friends, Mr.and Mrs. Charles. Burnham, of NewYork, whom she had known formany years. Mrs. Taylor enjoyedWinter Park, having been guest ofhonor at several affairs during hershort stay.

ultimate achievement. In 1907 hewent with Peary on his famoussuccessful expedition to the NorthPole, and ever since that daringjourney, Commander MaeMillanhas been a comrrfuter to the polarseas.

In these times of confused valuesand puzzled leaderships through-out the world the story of achieve-ment under seemingly impossiblecircumstances which MaeMillan hasdemonstrated, is one to inspire andgive courage to all, quite apartfrom the fascinating scientific dis-coveries and the beauties to beseen in his picture slides. It hasbeen said that he speaks with suchvividness that his lectures wouldbe illustrated even without his pic-tures.

Winter Park's well-known nur-seryman, Mr. Wyndham Hayward,brought home the high honorsfrom the Central Florida Fair,winning the sweepstakes prize forthe most blue ribbons. Mr. Hay-ward also won the individual prizefor the best annuals and perennialsof the entire show. It is worthy ofnote that the triangular flowergarden at the corner of Fairbanksand E. Park avenues was put in byMr. Hayward for the KiwanisClub. It is a very pleasing adorn-ment to that conspicuous corner.

The death of Miss Russell, underwhose direction "The Gates of Par-adise" was to have been, produced,has necessitated this change in theprogram.

"Candlelight" had been consid-ered and cast by Miss Russell asan attraction for the professionalartists series, but was postponedbecause of her late arrival in Win-ter Park last fall and her subse-quent illness. Dorothy Lockhart,assistant to Miss Russell, has been

Anecdotes of ancient au-tomobiles and their road adven-tures were thrown in with jokes,a scientific but comfortably sim-plified explanation of the mysteryof color, plus an intermingling ofhome-made poetry, whriling pin-wheels, a butterfly dance numberand a bunch of exceedingly color-ful lantern projections showing thetransfusion of the ultra-violet raythrough stone crystals and shot onto a screen and magnified into theoh! and ah! stage of child-like ap-preciation and comprehension.

A VISIT TO THE MUSEUMOF ROLLINS COLLEGE

By Mabel MountsierThe Museum of Rollins College,

in Knowles Hall, is free to the vis-itor who wishes to learn moreabout the flora and fauna of Flor-ida. The director, Edward M. Da-vis, said in regard to it, "In thofall of 1934 I began the work ofbuilding up the collections withthe object of making this a Floridamuseum, especially of natural his-tory. Many of the specimens havebeen gifts from various parts ofthe state, for example, Sani BelIsland, famous throughout theworld for the variety of its shells."

The minerals, which are not con-fined to Florida, were arrangedlast year by J. Edward Spurr, andthe botanical specimens are nowbeing arranged by Mrs. George M.Bahrt, of Orlando. A group of 135photographs of wild flowers, madeby Mrs. Thomas R. Baker, authorof "Florida Wild Flowers" andwife of the former curator, iaunique in its accuracy and com-pleteness.

The collections of birds, insects,and shells offer the scientist facil-ities for study and reveal to thelayman aspects of Florida hithertounknown. The numerous shells,beautiful in shape and color, giveproof that their builders are archi-tects unequalled by man in use ofmaterial and adaptation to pur-pose and surroundings. Here arethe bubble shell, light as a bubble;the sand dollar, buttercup, tulipband, lion's paw, and shark's eye,.so1 named from their appearance;the leafy oyster, always attached±'o a larger shell; the angel shell,with two fragile white wings, thebuilder of which can bore into solidrock to make a home; a scallopwith one half flat and the othercurved; the left-handed whelk,which contrary to the usual for-

In a glass receptacle in one ofthe cases is a black widow spider,a stunning lady in red and black.Of this dangerous creature, whosebite is fatal to man, Mr. Davissaid, "We give her a cockroachonce in three weeks, and being wellnourished by this, she is able tolay a sack of eggs. On February24th the black widow became themother of a family of 300, who arenow enjoying life devouring eachother. This is an example of thesurvival of the fittest and will endonly when the mother is the solesurvivor." There is no need, how-ever, to fear the extermination ofthis cannibalistic species, for thehigh birthrate will continue so longas the supply of cockroaches holdsout."

These are only two of the ex-hibits, but the Museum has collec-tions of moths, wasps, scorpions,grampuses, and of all the butter-flies common to Winter Park andvicinity. These are being arrangedand increased by the untiring ef-forts of the director, but becauseof lack of space they cannot all bedisplayed at one time. Any speci-mens needed for study are avail-able on request.

Mr. Davis, who is both ornithol-ogist and entomologist, is presidentof the Winter Park Bird Club, agroup of persons who come to-gether each Tuesday morning forbird walks and twice a month forevening lectures.
