August TELESCOPE 170 Meetings General Meeting Friday 25 Sept ember 1964 Dossin Museum, 8 p.m. Our speaker will be Mr. F. Wells Robison, Technical Liaison Officer of the United States Lake Survey. The program will be their latest film, "The Lake Survey." We have all become familiar with earlier instruments and work of the Lake Survey through viewing the display at Dossin Museum. The waters which they chart have been much in the news for their unusually low levels, making shallower the dredged channels for shipping and bringing hardship to property along the shoreline. What might be considered normal levels for the lakes? Is there any truth in the idea that lake high water levels come in cycles of seven years? Bring these and any other questions with you, and come to see how the Lake Survey does its work t oday. Business Meeting Friday 30 October 1964 Dossin Museum, 8 p.m. Visitors are welcome to these meetings of the Board of Directors.

Kresge and the Kresge Foundation toward the Detroit Historical Museum. The Kresge Foundation recently pledged $500,000 toward building an addition to the Main Museum on Woodward at Ki rby, with these funds to be equalled by the city's own pledge toward the project. The Kresges have long been benefactors of public buildings and college campuses across the country can usually boast of a 'Kresge" building. The Detroit Historical Museum and Society have long blessed the program of the Institute, and we are pleased with their good fortune. G.P.B.
