The interest in wild mushrooms and the number of people who collect wild mushrooms for the table are increasing rapidly. Numerousinquiries are received by the botany department of the University of Illinois each season concerning the identification and edibility of various species. At the same time, whenever there is a good mushroom season, the newspapers report an increasing number of cases of mushroom poisoning. These facts indicate the great desirability of a wider dissemination of the knowledge necessary to distinguish intelligentlythe common edible and poisonous mushrooms. It was with these facts in mind that it was decided to prepare, for the people of the state, photographs and descriptions of a limited number of species, in the hope that it might help our friends to make use of the abundance of excellent food material that annually goes to waste in the fields and woods, without risking their lives in the act.

This great astronomer died on 15 June 1938. In a pathetic letter to his wife he explained that his complete blindness in one eye, approaching blindness in the other eye, and still more the fear of losing his reason would make him nothing but a burden to his wife and fam ily and so had few regrets on leaving the world. The high esteem in which he was held was testified by the pall-bearers at his funeral. These included the Governor of the State of California, the Acting President and Officials of the University, the Director, the late Director of the Lick Observatory, and the Director of the Mount Wilson Observatory. William Wallace Campbell was born on 11 April 1862 in a farm in Hancock County, Ohio. H e became a student of the University of Michigan and took the degree of B.S. in the faculty of Engineering. He was appointed Professor of Mathematics in the University of Colorado, but two years later, at considerable financial sacrifice, returned to the University of Michigan as Instructor in Astronomy. In 1891 he was appointed Astronomer at the Lick Observatory, and remained there till 1923, when he yielded reluctantly to the pressure put upon him to accept the post of President of the University of California.

To assess the relationship between the training/preparation of physical education teachers and their perceivedinstructional confidence levels across major topic areas established by the Illinois State Board of Education ascritical content areas. In total, 283 individuals participated and were included in the data analysis. The participantssurveyed were currently enrolled or recently graduated from physical education or kinesiology departments at (1.)the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, (2.) Illinois State University, and (3.) Eastern Illinois University.Data were collected via in-person and email surveys using the HECS 18 item survey instrument. Analysisdemonstrated a statistically significant difference exists between the perceived instructional confidence of currentstudents and recent graduates regarding major health topic areas. Further work with this population is required todetermine if the results seen in the state of Illinois are consistent. The next proposed sample area will be the state ofColorado and its three main Universities (University of Colorado, Colorado State University, Metropolitan StateUniversity of Denver) and their health and physical educators (HPE).

In October 2016, the University of Colorado-Boulder (CU Boulder) and the Government Publishing Office (GPO) signed the nation’s first Preservation Steward Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). CU Boulder, the Regional Federal Depository for the state of Colorado, has pledged to retain and preserve three large collections of legislative history: the U.S. Congressional Serial Set, the bound Congressional Record, and Congressional Hearings. In turn, GPO will cover shipping costs to fill collection gaps and facilitate communication between CU Boulder and other libraries that plan to withdraw large runs of relevant documents. The purpose of this article is to provide a historical context for the Preservation Steward agreement, describe how CU Boulder implemented the MOA, and encourage other depository libraries to become Preservation Stewards.

A new 1-MeV transmission electron microscope (Model JEM-1000) was installed at the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology of the University of Colorado in Boulder during the summer and fall of 1972 under the sponsorship of the Division of Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. The installation was completed in October, 1972. It is installed primarily for the study of biological materials without many of the limitations hitherto unavoidable in standard transmission electron microscopy. Only the technical characteristics of the installation are briefly reviewed here. A more detailed discussion of the experimental program under way is being published elsewhere.
