...very great problems to be solved. One of the most difficult of these problems is that of contending against the varying atmospheric conditions, but the modern instruments are so skillfully constructed that photographs of marvelous clearness have been obtained in spite of the varying density and light of the air strata...
This year's Delta Upsilon play is a happy choice as an Elizabethan revival; for few plays of that famous time show so vividly the time itself, as Thomas Heywood's "Fair Maid of the West."

And yet the fearful storm of controversy over the game and the feverish excitement before the big battles--and only thirty men out of a possible 2,000 are deriving any out benefit--it is to laugh...
