More than 79 years ago, the small box being handed by University Plant Superintendent Walter M. Roth to President Alexander G. Ruthven, above, was interred in the cornerstone of University Hall. University officials yesterday afternoon removed the box from the wreckage of the building, now being leveled to make way for a new Literary College structure.

Welding is a hot enough business even on a cool day, but add the smothering temperatures which have visited Ann Arbor this week and you get a job few men would envy. Harold Dapprich of Ypsilanti, the welder in the above picture, isn't quite as warm as you may think, however. He is at work replacing a steam main in the University's underground tunnel system where the temperature is some eight degrees cooler than outside. It's a different story in tunnels leading to the buildings which use steam for cooking or sterilizing purposes. There the temperature gets as high as 120 degrees.
