...course on vibration problems, as they arise in the design of machines, and in the construction of high buildings, ships and aircraft, is being offered at the Harvard Engineering School this year, it was announced at Pierce Hall...
...Engineering School intended to acquaint its students with an understanding of the physical and mathematical basis of mechanical vibration, so that they may handle the problems related to the ever increasing size, speed, and power now developing in the engineering world. Vibration problems are growing in importance in the design of high-speed machinery, but the problem has been neglected in most American engineering schools, although well established in the Institutions of Europe...
That His Majesty now regards this wine & women period of his princehood as a sort of Gethsemane appears from the design of The White Cross. On a white-enamel field the new decoration bears Carol's portrait in miniature, over his brow a cruel crown of thorns...
