...means "A Coherent Theory of the Electro-Magnetic Field" and is the title of a five-page paper of highest mathematical formulae which Relativist Albert Einstein worked on for ten years and last week handed to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin for criticism. Soon it will be published...
Physicist Arthur Holly Compton, 36, of Chicago, who has the dapper alertness of a business executive. He won the 1927 Nobel Prize for Physics (jointly with Charles Thomson Rees Wilson, 59, of Cambridge University). Professor Compton's reward was for measuring electro-magnetic waves...
...business of the conference was, as must be, general. Research engineers and aerodynamists met and discussed their technical problems. Transport men heard papers on airgraphics (meteorology), airways, airports, organization, operation and maintenance of airlines, radio directors, electro-magnetic compasses, altitude finding by radio echo. Private flying-clubs, a successful stimulant to aviation in England, are beginning to appear in the U. S. Significant was the observation that air travel now costs the passenger only 14? a mile against railroad fare of 4? a mile...
Alfred Lee Loomis, banker (Bonbright & Co.), electro-physicist (effects of high frequency sound waves) had as guest at his splendid private laboratory at Tuxedo Park, N. Y., Professor Charles Vernon Boys, British physicist who for 26 years has been trying to measure the duration of a lightning flash. His tool has been a camera with two lenses revolving on a disk. At Tuxedo Park he finally and happily measured a flash. It lasted one seven-thousandth of a second...
Life. The students of the Experimental College were segregated in one dormitory, but many of them engaged in campus athletics and extra-curriculum activities. They had their own dramatic club, which produced The Clouds of Aristophanes and Electro, of Euripides. Then, fraternizing their classical strides, the students adopted as the official uniform of the Experimental College a blue blazer with pearl grey trimming and with emblem of sacred Athenian owl. Many a Wisconsin's farmer's son twitted them for wearing it. The relations of the faculty and students were close-teas and chats being mentioned with enthusiasm...
