Sweeney, of Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, who spoke on the utilization of agricultural wastes. A third speaker scheduled for April is Dr. Robert C. Hills, in charge of new developments for the Free- Port Sulphur Company, who will talk on the development of new applications for sulphur, an im portant Texas product. Dr. 0. M. Ball— (Continued from page 1) he retired in 1937, the department had grown under his adept guid ance to a staff of ten full-time teachers and several graduate as sistants. Besides his teaching, Dr. Ball has written a number of books and papers pertaining to various fields of biology especially those relating to fossil plants. A dozen or more books and scientific papers have been published under his name. The value of these to science and to men of learning was recognized by The National Insti tute of Social Sciences when it elected Dr. Ball a member. His selection was made “in recognition of distinction attained as a scient ist.” Then, too, he has been listed in Who’s Who in America every year since 1912. After 34 years of active service in the Biology Department, Dr. Ball, as his own request, was re lieved of his duties in that capacity and named curator of the Texas A. & M. College Museum. His suc cessor was Dr. C. C. Doak, a mem ber of the staff since 1926. Im mediately after becoming curator, Dr. Ball obtained the use of the small brick building near the Ad ministration Building that was used at that time as the U. S. Treasury Building, and began this new task. Into this museum went two of the most extensive collections of fossil material in the South, one assembled by the late Dr. Mark Francis, internationally known vet erinarian, over a period of 40 years, and the other gathered by Dr. Ball, himself. That was just the beginning, but it made a size able foundation upon which to en large. Since that time the museum has received many interesting ad ditions, which to enumerate would run to great length. One of the more outstanding among the collections is the one known as the “masks of faces of the South Sea Islands and the Malay Archipelago.” The exhibit is a pageant of 101 faces, each a Special rehearsal of the tenor sections will be held every Monday; of the bass- baritone sections, every Tuesday.
