...Cruft Memorial High Tension Laboratory recently heard from stations on the pacific coast. A while ago it was announced that a message had been received from Berlin. This is not equally remarkable, as will be explained later. Messages from Germany have been received frequently since, and are now no longer the exception. The wireless has also received calls from various southern posts over a thousand miles away. The reach seems to be constantly developing under the expert guidance of the men back of the undertaking...
There are three reasons why it is a much more difficult proposition to receive messages from the Pacific Coast rather than from the other side of the Atlantic. This is dependent on the fact that there is land to deal with in one case, while there is only water, or nearly so, in the other.

...antenna over the Cruft Memorial Laboratory, a number of important experiments have been carried on by Professor G. W. Pierce and his assistants. On Wednesday a very distinct message was received from Berlin, a distance of over 3,000 miles, and on several occasions stations on the Pacific Coast have been heard distinctly.

Last year a very successful meeting was held in Chicago during the early part of June and it was decided that because of the Expositions of San Diego and San Francisco special attractions would be offered to have the 1915 meeting on the Coast. To insure a good time for those making the trip the Harvard Club of New York City has reserved the entire first cabin accommodations upon the Panama-Pacific Line steamship "Kroonland" for Harvard men and their families for the entire trip to San Francisco via the Panama Canal, leaving New York...
