...least hysterical. The treatment is entirely objective. The author records his chronicle of scenes and persons and action with an abundance of that sort of exact detail which makes "realism the only method for romance." If his style maybe said to ring with any prevailing tone, except the tone of accuracy and sincerity, it is a tone, not of desperation or weariness with life, but of constant feeling for color and beauty...
...with capable pitching by Phillip Spalding '25 with men on bases, gave Harvard a 10-8 Victory over Boston University in the first baseball game of the season last Saturday. Spalding pitched the entire nine innings. He allowed numerous passes, but would probably have scored a shut-out victory except for a spasm of wild throwing by his team makes in the fifth inning which betted three runs...
...compared with the figures for some preceding years which show an average in 1919 of 40; in 1920 of 60; in 1921 of 70; and in 1922 of 81, it appears that there was a considerable decrease of over 40 percent.

Neither of these reasons is very conclusive, and leaves it as a desirable end for the future that such a decrease be not allowed to recur. The last...
Especially in recent years it has become the fashion for everyone except, in most cases, the scientists, to regard Science, with a large S--as a kind of Juggernaut or Frankenstein before whose blind onrush mankind is inevitably doomed to destruction. What were once considered triumphs of mind over matter have become victories of the machine over man, horribly portrayed in Vanity Fair woodcuts and the magazine supplements of Sunday newspapers. And the ever increasing momentum of scientific progress has startled philosophers out of pleasant and meaningless speculation into the discovery that even the thin air out of which they...

The flock broke into circular formation just in time to avoid collision. Had they struck the plane, it is probable that no damage would have resulted-except to the geese. But the propeller of a Liberty motor revolves at 1,600 revolutions per minute-so rapidly that a point on the blade may travel at 500 miles an hour. The impact of a bird at such speed would be terrific, and the propeller being already strained...
