Second, in law a skillful and thorough detective system is employed to ferret out witnesses as well as detect criminals, and thus usually all whose testimony have a bearing upon the case are brought in whether willingly or not. It is needless to add that such a system in college is neither desirable nor possible. The ends for which colleges are established, namely, the training of the mind and character would be defeated by the consciousness to the students that the normal attitude of a faculty towards them was one of suspicion and distrust...

...desired as a means of measuring the brightness of stars down to the ninth magnitude. The rapidity of the observations with this instrument is such that as many as 179 stars have been measured by a single observer in one evening. Various tests have been applied to detect the presence of systematic errors in this instrument, and extended comparisons of the results with similar work conducted elsewhere have been instituted.
