Computations on the action of glaciers from data collected this summer are now being made in the Geology Department. The figures upon which they are working are the result of three months work by a combined Harvard-Dartmouth expedition which had as its two-fold purpose the ascent of Mt. Crillon's 12,728 foot peak in the Fairweather range of Alaska and the collecting of accurate information in the little-known field of glacier movements. The party, composed of 11 men under the leadership of Bradford Washburn '33, was divided into two groups; the climbing party of Adams Carter...
Beside the long-sought conquest of the mountain the party accomplished much interesting and valuable scientific work Of particular interest in this respect was the measurement of glacial movement, not only over the course of weeks, but also in hours. Unexpected results were obtained, showing that the glacier suddenly slid forward during the evening around supper time, again about midnight, and once more early in the morning. The average movement of the Crillon glacier, the one studied most in detail, was two inches an hour. Dynamite blasting was also done to determine the depth of the ice by means...

A worried country listened intently for some declaration of economic policy, some inkling of what the New Deal would deal next, some idea of what was in store for business. But of these things, the President was in no mood to talk. Instead, he gave high words to the beauties of nature...
