...University course today will differ from that of last year and from that of last week. It will start at the Larz Anderson bridge on the Cambridge side, continue past the corner of the Mt. Auburn cemetery along the river, and then make two complete loops around the hill near the cemetery. The return course will be back along the same side of the river. The old route has been rendered impracticable because of dredging being done on the sand bank which once formed a part of the course. The distance is about five miles, and is somewhat more hilly...

Endocrinologists have discovered that young hypo-pituitarians, if untreated, become very fat, sexually undeveloped. This boy was just beginning to manifest those marks. But five to ten grains of sheep's pituitary...

None, however, denied Lieut. Settle's statement that Maybach alone is proven for dirigibles,* that the power-plant requirements of airplane and airship differ as do those of racing car and motorbus. Dirigible engines must: run thousands of hours between overhauls, have low weight and low fuel consumption, be reversible in operation (for maneuvering), cool properly while maneuvering at small air speed, be safe from fire, be capable of repair in flight. In view of the requisites, particularly those of reliability, low fuel consumption and reduced fire hazard, Lieut. Settle predicts the airship engine of the future will...
Although every college desires that its prospective students lay the proper foundation for advanced work, opinions differ as to the educative values to be derived from the several subjects during the secondary period. A smaller institution may find it advisable to set up more restricted prerequisites in order that there may be less range in the type of preparation which its students shall have received. The larger college has facilities to serve students of widely differing tastes and interests, provided that they possess certain common fundamentals and are equipped to do work of high quality. Similarly preparatory schools in their...
