J. A. Haeseler '23, head of the University Film Foundation, has announced that the organization is making a series of studies of the Arnold Arboretum, in Boston. 100 plates, manufactured by the Agfa-Ansco Company, in Germany, have been procured with considerable difficulty, and slides are now being taken of the various flowering shrubs in their natural colors. Oakes Ames '98, Professor of Botany, and the chairman of the Council of Botanical Specimens, is financing the enterprise, which botanists greet with conspicuous enthusiasm. Some 40 plates have already been made, and will be shown next Tuesday to Harvard and Radcliffe students in Botany 1.
