Impressoins of the country’s prosperity and progress were brought back by the visitors who were honored on many occasions.

Dr. Hunt Writes History Text
Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, dean of the Graduate School, has just completed another book in his series of texts dealing with the various phases of California history. His new work, “John Bidwell: Prince of California Pioneers,” is being published by the Caxton Printers, Ltd., Caldwell, Ida.
Dr. Hunt’s study of John Bid-well preserves his ruggedness and individuality in a portrait-biogra-phy that is as much the story of a state a^ it is the life, story of one of its greatest men. Dean Hunt feels that by presenting a 19th-century sketch of the life of a man who was closely connected with this state’s growth he will be able to offer an interesting treatment of historical events.
BIDWELL DESCRIBED
Few men of California have embodied in their lives so completely the three great eras of its history as did John Bidwell. Coming to the State in 1841, he knew for eight
years the Spanish pastoral life and its traditions of hospitality and peaceful prosperity.
He was plunged with all other men into the feverish gold days of 1849 and the mad years following

them. In the permanent development of the state which followed the gold discoveries he was to become one of its leading figures. CHICO FOUNDED
Founder of Chico, Calif., and perhaps the greatest agriculturalist of the state, Bidwell represents the highest plane of American character. He strove for good roads, he made the first survey of county lines, and he served as officer in the state militia and in its legislative halls.
As a private citizen, he led a life of exemplary grace and servicg. Dr. Hunt’s new book will appear illustrated with 33 halftones.
Author of many outstanding history texts now being used in state schools, the dean has long interested himself in the intriguing past of Californias growth. A native of the state, he has written “New California the Golden,” which is widely used as a text in intermediate schools. His “California—Lit-of a Big State” was

Griffith Observatory Schedules Special
Lecture on Navigation for Air Cadets
Griffith observatory is offering a series of free lectures for those interested in navigation. Aviation cadets who have recently enlisted and are waiting to be called into active service are especially invited by Dr. C. H. Cleminshaw, acting director of the observatory.
The first meeting will be held Sunday, August 2, at 7:30 p.m. at the Griffith observatory. The lectures will be illustrated by means of the planetarium projector, which reproduces the heavens as seen from any place on the earth at any time. PLANETS SEEN
The course will enable one to identify principal stars and planets used in navigation. It is suggested that the aviation cadets take advantage of this opportunity while waiting to be called into active service. •
At the first meeting an outline of the course will be given, and most convenient times for the following meetings will be arranged.
The regular planetarium shows are given at 3:30 and 8:30 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The subject for August is “Eclipse of the Sun and the Moon.”
ECLIPSE EXPLAINED
Eclipses will be explained and reproduced in the planetarium theater. A bulletin will be issued soon giving ,the details of the total eclipse of the moon just after sunset on Tuesday, August 25.
Ordinarily the observatory is closed on Tuesday, but it will be open on that day from '7 to 10 p.m., so that the public may look through the telescope at the moon and attend the planetarium show at 8:30.
DR. CLARENCE H. CLEMINSHAW —directs observatory.
Irving Melbo Talks to Group
“Some Tales of Our National Parks" was the subject discussed by Dr. Irving R. Melbo at the final summer-session meeting of the School Administrators club held in the Student Union yesterday noon.
Melbo's experiences during the 10 years that he was gathering material and writing the two-volume series on national parks served as the basis for the talk. He stated that it was important that these monuments of American life be preserved at all cost because they are the places that the people may go to really love America.
FIGURES QUOTED
This is exemplified by the fact that more than 20,000,000 people or one out of every six Americans, visited national parks during the last year. However, it is evident that perhaps less than half this number will vacation in these spots this season.
In his talk the professor reiterated some of the “tall tales” connected with the founding of many of the western reservations. He told some of his first hand experiences %with the bears together with some of “old timers” in that section of the country. Some of the parks included were Olympic, Mt. Rainier, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Sequoia.
MUSIC OFFERED
The musical program consisted of two vocals by Ariel Bailiff, vocalist of the Latter Day Saints Temple in Provo, Utah. L. G. Noble arranged the musical.
The club was served during the session by Chester Potts, president; Floyd Wilder, vice-president; Arthur Tati, treasurer: Dr. O. R. Hull and £>r. Irving R. Melbo, sponsors.

PROGRAM UNREHEARSED
Unsponsored and unrehearsed, the “Town Meeting” program is devoted in part to audience participation with. half of the hour given over to speakers. The latter will include Major Seversky; Maj. Gen. Paul B. Malone, retired commanding general of the ninth corps area; Capt. Mayo; and William B. Ziff, publisher of “Flying and Popular Aviation” magazine and noted author.

SEVERSKY APPEARS
Of particular interest to students who are concerned these days with aerial warfare will be the appearance of Major Seversky who has attained first-rate recognition for his numerous contributions toward the growth and development of the airplane.
Some of his successes include tlia Seversky amphibian with tha world's speed record established in 1935. This ship is still the fastest amphibian in the world.
WING DEVELOPED
Major Seversky was the pioneer in the development of the all-metal monocoque structure of wings where all the stresses are carried by the covering of the wing. This is the so-called skin stressed type, which is now used by practically all aircraft throughout the world.
Major Seversky also developed a split flap on the trailing edge of the wing which decreases the landing speed of an airplane. He was the first to adapt the principle of placing this flap between the aileron, through the span of the wing. This produced the best results and maximum efficiency.
At that t‘me it was contended that such position of the trailing flap would buffet the tail’s fixed and movable surfaces and thereby make the plane unmanageable Major Seversky proved that in a proper design and with proper relationship between the wings and the tail, there is no interference. Since that time, practically all airplanes in the world use the split flap in the manner which was originally designed and adapted by Major Se-versky.
