PROMINENT ITALIAN WOMAN TO LECTURE
International Figure to Give Talk Here On Immigration
Countess Irene di Robilant manager cf the Italy-American society of New York, is scheduled to speak in Bovard auditorium, July 8 at 10:30 on “The Immigration Question with Special Reference to Italy and the United States.!’
Born in Turin, Italy, she is the daughter of General di Ro.nlant, member of the Italian Senate and commander of the Fourth Army during the World War, and military delegate at the conference in Versailles. She studied in Italy but obtained an international education by accompanying her father in her early childihood on important foreign missions to Tur-

nia will be the first university west of the Mississippi to use tthis plan
Under the cooperative plan the practice of business is taught in an office or factory under actual commercial conditions, and the theory underlying the practice is taught in t-he university.
DIVIDE STUDENTS
Students are divided into two sections, which alternate every 12 weeks until eight quarters of work are completed. During one period, half of fhe students are at the university and half are in business; at the beginning of the next period the sections are chang-( ed, those who were at the university godng to business offices and industrial plants and those who were in business offices going to the university:
The aim ot the co-ordination plan is to train students to both theory and practice so that they can meet the de-
She spent four years during the World War on the Italian front as a nurse and ambulance driver. She was awarded the silver and bronze medal for valour and signal honors from the Italian and British Red Cross. She was a volunteer worker and was decorated by General Diaz at tihe foot of Mount Grappa with the silver medal with the following note in the Chronicle of Padua, “Miracuously saved from death .while working in the operating room of a fieid hospital destroyed by a bursting shell, she continued fearlessly her work; and a few days later while accompanying wounded soldiers, siie had to take the place of the chauffeur severely wounded by the enemy fire, bringing the ambulance with the men to safety, over the bridge of Gorzia.”
The President of the Red Cross Mission of America, who saw the courageous deed, gave to her the Radiologic Ambulance, which she used for the rest of the war.
After the Armistice, she was invited by the Italy-America Society of New York to take charge of that institution which was founded for the purpose of improving the mutual international relations between Italy and America in the economic, commercial and intellectual field.
She has achieved great success as a lecturer on Italian history, art, literature and politics. The present lecture tour under the direct auspices ot the Italy America Society has the purpose of not only creating a better understanding of Italy and its problems but has also the object of acquainting the American public with the large and growing work of an organization which is becoming an important factor in America’s international relations.

mands of the industry for employes who possess broad theoretical education and actual experience in practical work.
BENEFIT STUDENTS It is believed that by alternating actual work in b?nks ,factories and stores with peiiods of study the student will be enabled to attack each cne with greater interest and intelligence. He can apply the theory learned to the work and come back to the 'study of the theory with greater and more concrete understanding by reason of the experience in working out actual problems.
After he has completed the co-operative course in the metropolitan college. a student’s particular abilities will be demonstrated and he will know in what field his talents lie, whether he will develop best as a manager, banker, salesman, statistician, etc. The last period of work will be so organized as to give him practical training along the line in which he hast shown his greatest ability.
PLACED IN POSITIONS Seventeen universities have adopted the co-ordination plan and have found it valuable, from an educational stand-(CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR)

With plans for equipment second to none in the country the new four story chemistry-Fharmacy building is now under construction at the University of Southern California. It is a Class A structure and will cost approximately $350,000.
A special feature of the Pharmacy department will be a laboratory de voted to dispensing pharmacy in wThich a difficult variety of prescriptions requiring technical knowledge will be compounded by each student under the personal supervision of a pharmacist who is thoroughly ac-uainted with the best modern practice. The Dispensing pharmacy laboratory will be fully equipped with balances, pharmaceuticals and apparatus found in the best prescription pharmacies.
Another laboratory will be devoted to pharmacognosy and materia med-ica. This room will have tables and microscopes to accommodate 50 stu-
dents at a time. Lining the walls shelves will contain all crude and powdered drugs as well as pharmaceuticals. The equipment will be such that the student may study the physical and microscopic properties of crude and powdered drugs.
In the basement, machinery for grinding and pulverizing crude drugs and tablet machines for the manufacture of compressed tablets, will be installed.
The Chemistry laboratories will have equipment for general chemistry and various lines of pharmaceutical chemistry involving assaying, toxicology, and the manufacture of synthetic preparations.
All laboratories in the new building will be equipped with hot air ovens and steam baths for the evaporation of pharmaceutical preparations. They will also contain hoods, pressed air and vacuum apparatus in addition to the usual gas and water.
The library, located on the first floor will be completely stocked with’ all books on chemistry and pharmacy, in addition to the current periodicals.
GIFTED MUSICIAN PRESENTS THREE ORGAN CONCERTS
Dr. Bruce Gordon Kingsley To Give Series In Bovard Auditorium
Dr. Bruce Gordon Kingsley famed thrcughoiu tihe world as one of* the few really great organists alive, has been secured to give a series of three musical evenings on Ju7y 7th, 14th and 21st in Bovard Auditorium.
These events are called symphonic concerts as they are more than the usual organ recital. The numbers have been selected especially to demonstrate the capabilities of the organ which is the second largest on the coast.
It is Dr Kingsley’s idea to bring out those qualities in the organ which are not compatible with church music for which tlhe organ has been used so long.
Before each number Dr. Kingsley gives a short explanatory histoi*y »r story of the compositions.
The program for July 7th is called, “World famous Musicians” and comprises the following selections:
1 Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
........................ Bach
2.	Adagio Cantabile (from the
Septette) ...............Beethoven
3.	Overture, “Ruy Bias” .Mendelssohn
4.	En Bateau, (In a Boat)----Debussy
5.	Marche Slave ....----Tschaikowsky
6 The Alpine Fairys Message,
(from “Manfred”) .......Schumann
7. Overture, “Tannhaeuser”. .Wagner
The first number is a free organ fantasy of very difficult technique, ‘Bach at his best", declares Dr. Kingsley, “was probably the greatest composer for the organ in his time. Strength and brilliancy are the two things sihown in the composition.
“In contrast to the fiist number, Adagio Cantabile is very soft and peaceful. expressing Beethoven in a moment of repose. The parts for flutes and clarinets are particularly well written.
“The Ruy Bias selection intreprets the play by Victor Hugo and shows him as a breaker of class distinctions. The Overture follows the idea of fate which dogs Ruy Bias’ footsteps. From Debussy's Petite Suite, En Bateau is a very dainty and impressionistic number and is scored for a small orchestra. One of Tschaikowsky’s best known compositions is Marche Slave which interprets war with its gloom and strife and roll of drums. It interprets the hordes marching to war and returning victorious with the Russian National Hymn played triumphantly. A delightful part of this number is the muscovite dance section.

“The Alpine Fairy’s Message is a poetic drama of the Faust type and shows the spirit of the waterfalls aj she appears to Manfred who had obtained the power to summon spirits. The waterfall spirit charms Manfred.
“Wagner at the beginning of his car reer is seen in th Tannhaeuser overture. The Pilgrim’s Chorus motif runs throughout- and there seems to be a conflict between good and evil throughout the opera.”
