...announcement last night that the Cabinet of Phillips Brooks House has accepted the constitution prepared by a special committee climaxes the swift, continuous series of growing pains enjoyed by the House in the past three years. The effect of this growth can be noticed in such phases of P. B. U. work as the Social Service Committee, which this fall has sent an amazing number of student volunteers to the scattered settlement houses of Greater Boston, and also in the Personnel Adviser. Now the development and concentration of all phases has been accomplished by the drawing up of a constitution...

H., a reaffirmation of the idealism that must in the end enliven an organization founded in memory of Bishop Brooks--these have been placed on paper.

...Earth, the effect of excess radiation received during sunspot maxima is to evaporate more water, bring on heavier rainfall, and thus paradoxically make the average temperature slightly cooler than during sunspot minima. The eleven-year sunspot cycle has been traced in the growth rings of trees. Stronger ultraviolet radiation accompanies sunspot activity and the aurora borealis displays are more numerous and brilliant, probably due to an increased bombardment of electrified particles. Such influences are now generally accepted as proved. It is the problem of sunspot correlation with such human affairs as stockmarket trends that leads out on the limb...

Sometimes a direct threat of cancellation of his franchise...
...widespread application of electrical energy to the solution of lighting, heating, and industrial power problems, has been brought about by the remarkable growth and development of the science of electrical engineering. Within the span of a single lifetime this branch of engineering science has developed from infancy to its present vast proportions, and almost from the beginning the department of Electrical Engineering of the Graduate School of Engineering has been associated with this development...
