Professor Dolbear of Tufts College will address the M. I. T. Electric Club on Friday evening, Dec. 5, on "The Relation between Electric Phenomena and the Ether," in room 14, New Building. All members of the Harvard Electric Club are cordially invited to attend...
...Saxons. The German experiments of the last two years only serve to illustrate the great principle enunciated ten years ago by Clerk Maxwell, namely, that heat, light, and electricity are all one and the same thing, and that we receive them all by electro-magnetic impulses transmitted through the ether from the sun. In the last one hundred years our ideas on physical subjects have immensely advanced. Benjamin Franklin's machine for producing electricity is a hundred times as large as the one we use today, yet ours is a hundred times as powerful. The electric light used...
...only intelligeable but at the same time interesting to all. Professor Rowland briefly sketched the history of the discoveries in relation to electrical currents, and then expanded the theory now held by the leading physicists, to the effect that electrical currents are propagated like light waves, the ether which permeates and surrounds the universe. The theory and the arguments in its support were stated clearly and concisely and at the same time a number of the experiments were performed to acts as illustrations of the arguments. It was a notable fact that while all the experiments were simple in their...
...fifth, but Harvard makes eight, on heavy hitting; score, 19 to 18 in favor of Lowell. Lowell finds a goose-egg in the sixth, and Harvard scores two runs amid such "deafening applause" that the umpire calls for silence; score, 20 to 19 in favor of Harvard. "Ether-rending applause, and sun-darkening cloud of flying beavers." Lowell scores two runs and Harvard five; score, 25 to 21. In this inning "man or carriage in Jarvis street muffs foul badly off Smith; seeing which, Smith begins a series of fouls, one of which drops the ball in a swamp...
...delight to the sleepy inhabitants of Cambridgeport and to those of our own venerable, old, hoary Cambridge. All the happiness and gayety culminated when on Holmes' field the messengers arose from earth to carry the news of Harvard's gladness up through the night air to the clear ether above. Last night will shine as a bright spot on the already glowing tablets of our recollections of these memorable days in the university's existence...
