...reconcile the Irish to so drastic a step, England has promised an immediate introduction of home rule. Expediency, it is asserted, demands some compensation for the Irish sacrifice.

If we are forced to suspend work temporarily, we do so that more...

It has been apparent for several weeks that drastic measures were necessary; nevertheless, would it not be possible to remedy the difficulty not by cutting down on the waste of artificial light, but rather by curtailing the waste of the free and abundant sunlight? In the warring nations of Europe the Clock has been turned back for so long that it may never return to its former habits. The experiment was tried by a large percentage of the University in the R.
