...able to put into the course a meaning and a completeness which is at present lacking; while the one laboratory period, if properly conducted, can provide the desired introduction to scientific method, without undue drudgery. Freshmen who are now deciding the difficult of Distribution and who are not drawn to any particular branch of science will find their answer in Biology...
...hardy Hanoverlans shoulder a heavy bludgeon. A remonstrance has been drawn from President Hopkins by the "vituperation" in "La Critique", another anonimity. This paper claims that "the greatest obstacle to the obtainment of an education at Dartmouth is the faculty. Most of its members are teaching because it would be impossible for them to succeed at any other trade".

Passive resistance would make the maintenance of scattered bodies of troops so far from their bases quite out of the question...
...Francis Warren, who have been conducting experiments at Dayton, Ohio, in connection with the army air service. Enormous natural forces are required to elevate moisture above the earth before it can be precipitated, according to the government meteorologists. For instance, 73,320 tons of moisture would have to be drawn into the air to cause a rainfall of only one inch over an area of even one square mile, an amount which would be negligible in an arid region like Ari- zona. Widespread drought is due to lack of water in the air, and obviously no device can bring down...
