THE IOWA LAKE SIDE LABORATORY 



Trustees for the Iowa Lake Side Labora- 

 tory at Lake Okoboji are to acquire a majority 

 interest in the holdings of the stock company 

 which now owns the property. A reorganiza- 

 tion of the business control is to be effected, 

 and ovmers of stock will be solicited to sur- 

 render their shares to the trustees in order 

 that the work of the laboratory may be car- 

 ried on in the best manner possible. 



A committee from the University of Iowa 

 Association has been authorized to secure 

 funds for the repairing and general upkeep of 

 the laboratory premises, and an endowment 

 fund of $10,000 will be sought for this pur- 

 pose. Mrs. F. A. Stromsten, of Iowa City, 

 is chairman of the committee, the other mem- 

 bers being A. J. Cox and Mrs. Preston C. 



Coast, of Iowa City; Dr. F. J. Smith, of Mil- 

 ford; and Fred Pownall, of Des Moines. 



President Emeritus Thomas H. Macbride, 

 who has been most active in the interests of 

 the laboratory ever since it was established, 

 has resigned his position on the board of 

 trustees. Dr. Macbride has carried practically 

 the entire burden of responsibility for the 

 financial support of the institution, which has 

 attained enviable distinction in recent years 

 through the quality of work done there and 

 the facilities and resource of material which 

 it affords. His place on the board will be 

 taken by Walter M. Davis, of Iowa City, who' 

 becomes custodian of property. Mrs. F. A, 

 Stromsten, of Iowa City, was elected to suc- 

 ceed Euclid Sanders, of Iowa City, who has 

 been in Europe for some time. W. O. Fink- 

 bine, of Des Moines, remains as chairman of 

 the board, the other two members being C. F. 

 Kuehnle, of Denison, and J. J. McConnell, of 

 Cedar Eapids.
