Professor Goodale defined the scientific method, now generally used in almost all departments of inquiry, as the straightforward method of investigation. First of all, he student examines a given object or phenomenon from all possible points of view and compares these results with those obtained by a similar examination of other objects and phenomena, endeavoring to ascertain what they may have in common. Thus he is prepared to formulate general statements. From such inductions he proceeds to justifiable deductions. and thence to inductions of higher orders. His most useful instruments of research are hypothesis and experiment. The demands made...
...January 3. Nothing of importance has occurred during that time, as college is necessarily quiet during the opening weeks of that term. By reason of the mild weather the baseball men have been practicing out-doors some during the past few days, but most of the work has been almost entirely confined to the gymnasium.

During the eclipse, especial observation was given to the corona and to the analysis of the spectrum, and the result has been that more striking and valuable photographs of those parts of the sun have been obtained than ever before. It seems almost probable that because of the important knowledge which must be gained by a close study of these photographs, the eclipse of 1889 will be looked upon, among men devoted to the study of practical astronomy, as marking an epoch in the history of solar physics. The great thirteen-inch Boyden telescope, with a lens specially corrected...
