The formal opening of the new chemistry 

 building of the University of South Dakota, 

 Vermillion, was celebrated on October 12 and 

 13. Professor Louis Kahlenberg, of the Uni- 

 versity of Wisconsin, delivered the address 

 on that occasion. His subject was " The 

 Chemical Aspects of Osmosis." He also spoke 

 at convocation of the university on the sub-

 rooms to be occupied in the new work have 

 been equipped with scientific appliances and 

 instruments costing several thousand dollars.
