...recent changes taking place among some of the huge glaciers of Alaska are phenomena of considerable interest to science at the present time," stated W. O. Field '26 in an interview with a CRIMSON representative yesterday. During the past summer, he and B. S. Wood '25 spent a considerable amount of time studying the radical changes occurring in Glacier Bay, Alaska, where with a few exceptions, the ice-fields are retreating at a very rapid rate...
...found that one glacier had disappeared entirely and that another had retreated six miles since 1920," said Field. "The retreat of the ice has in some places created new islands and channels, and has made many other variations in the topography of the region...

On the surface, there are few signs that there is any aesthetic content there. The best things in this book are as shapeless as the mountains that obsess their author. There is either...
This year Dr. Howard T. Barnes of McGill University will try to destroy icebergs at their source, in the Greenland glaciers. Here the ice cap is 7,000 feet thick. Vast bits break off at the sea edges to float south to the Newfoundland banks as bergs. Dr. Barnes hopes to smash the glacier edges with thermite, a chemical which develops enormous heat in contact with ice.* (TIME, March...

Music for the evening will be furnished by Bowers' Venice-Lido Orchestra, conducted by R. S. Bowers...
