...power of an airplane engine falls off in the rarefied atmosphere of great heights; its speed and climbing capacity decrease correspondingly. But if, on the contrary, the power is maintained, the airplane may develop extraordinary speed, because it then has less density of air to impede its progress. Accordingly, many inventors have sought maintenance of power at altitude by using centrifugal air compressors to keep the pressure and density of the air in the engine at a constant value. Such compressors have introduced great complexity and additional weight into the power plant. Paul Painleve, momentarily abandoning his Presidential Chair...
...regard to the death of Mr. Geer: "In the death of William H. Geer, Harvard College has lost a man who, in the comparatively short time that he had been in Cambridge, had made for himself a very definite place in the Harvard community. Coming here in 1919 to develop with Dr. Roger I, Lee '01, the plan of physical education for Freshmen, he showed himself from the first to be a skillful organizer and an indefatigable worker. Under his direction, a scheme which might have aroused much opposition was carried out without friction and with enthusiastic support from...
...Singapore base. To talk about this country's being provocative is sheer nonsense. Out of 352 warships building or projected, our contribution is 20. We have no lust of conquest; we have no desire for more territory; all we want is peace to protect and develop our trade and the territory we have got. No gesture is needed to show that Britain is a peaceable country...
With the need of the College for funds to develop its tutorial system, definitely established and constantly restated, it is reasonable to hold that the next appeal for endowments should be directed for its benefit. Already there is complaint against overemphasis on graduate school development. It has been suggested that the agricultural endowments would come from institutions and men not interested in any other phase of Harvard's development; yet $12,000,000 is a sum so huge that its collection would be impossible without a general appeal to graduates...
...Significance. The real trouble is that the Income Tax Law is so complicated that it calls for exercise of judgment in its administration, about which there may develop two or more conscientiously opposed verdicts. The trouble is heightened by the antagonism of Senator Couzens and Secretary Mellon. The pride of each is at stake, especially the Senator...
