...Irish Rose is indefinitely hokum. The French tradition is precise, rigorous and quite apart from life. Stage effects have been tested, analyzed and put up in little packages. Declamation and gesture have been rubbed by custom until they shine like polished pendants. In diagrams and model groups they cluster contentedly about the theatre and quite diffuse the raw beams of light and life...
...Notre Dame backfield man, Princeton's sons went sanguinely into battle and found themselves facing-a team of substitutes. Abstractedly they wrangled through the first period, chafed with a black curiosity for what lay ahead. The second period began, Coach Rockne's regulars swept out in a cluster; Tiger nerves jangled. What Coach Rockne's incomparable strategy had begun, Halfback Crowley's mighty thews executed. Twice, after prolonged offensives, the ball went through the gallant Princeton defense for touchdowns. Score: Notre Dame 12, Princeton...
...into three groups dependent on the different aspects of the daily life of the student; first, the study group; second, the recreation and dining halls; and third, the dormitory group. The buildings thus form three large quadrangles, giving the effect of the college groups at Oxford undoubtedly the finest cluster of scholastic buildings in the world. Oxford, therefore, gives the plan for the whole. For the details, southern Colonial university buildings have been studied and merged with our northern Georgian work...
...Harlow Shapley, director of the Harvard Observatory, where the pictures are being studied. Our universe is estimated, at the maximum, to be 350,000 light years* in diameter. N. G. C., 6,822 is a million light years away (six quintillion miles) -the most distant object known. The cluster was first observed by the late Dr. E. E. Barnard, but his tele- scope was too weak to resolve it into stars...
...Cephei, a variable star of the so-called cluster type, has long been known to astronomers, but its velocity was never measured until recently. It is far too faint to be seen with the naked eye, being of the tenth magnitude. It is in the constellation Cepheus, and is 3800 light years distant from the earth, which means that the light from it which astronomers now see through their telescopes started on its journey to the earth in the time of the shepherd kings of Egypt, nearly nineteen hundred years before Christ. That distance is only a small fraction...
