...band will hold its annual Band Club banquet at the Union Tuesday evening at 6:30 o'clock. Color movies of the band's performance at one of the games this fall will be shown. Leroy Anderson has been invited to act as toastmaster for the evening...
...complete an ignorance of Maxwell Anderson's play has been assumed in the reader as exists in the reviewer. But if the play has suffered in the transcription, it must have been too powerful in the original for anybody's good. The acting has not suffered in the change, because the actors have not been changed. Burgess, Meredith and Margo, we humbly submit. Warrant no comment...
...Anderson was maintaining a strong magnetic field across the chamber which would curve the paths of flying electric particles. By the direction of curvature he could tell whether they were positively or negatively charged. He had also shrewdly inserted a lead plate in the chamber. A particle which passed through this plate would be weakened by the passage, hence more sharply curved on the far side by the magnetic field. Thus the physicist could tell which way it had traveled along the track...
After developing one of his plates Anderson saw that he had scored a hit. To the untrained eye there was nothing but a ragged little white line. But to Anderson that line was astounding. It was thin and sketchy like the path of an electron. The particle had obviously traveled upward along the track and not downward, because it was more strongly bent above the lead plate. Also it had curved to the left. In that magnetic field only a positively charged particle could be traveling upward and curving to the left. In all features the particle was the "anti...
...negative electron, won a Nobel Prize in 1923. Visibly moved was grey-haired Dr. Millikan last week when he heard that his young co-worker was to join him in the highest honor that Science can bestow. Asked by newshawks to say something about his "outside interests," Nobelist Anderson grinned: "In my younger school days my ambition was to become a track star, a high jumper. But it didn't work, and now my hobby is tennis. I just couldn't jump high enough...
