...last time the two teams met in the Bowl the weather was not nearly so bad, but nevertheless it was trying on the fans. There was such a thick haze in the skies, that at game time it was difficult to see the other end of the field. Harvard won that game...
Technological development has had another effect on the Observatory through the years. Greater Boston's extensive industrial haze--as well as fogs perhaps as old as the Milky Way--forced removal two decades ago of the serious research equipment to a "purer," rural site. To the Agassiz Station in Harvard, Massa- chusetts, 26 miles east of Cambridge, the Observatory has committed the major portion of its reserves, including the latest of its purchases.

Last week, as a hot (90°), breathless haze flattened the dead waters of New York's Onondaga Lake for the 53rd Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta, Cornell was ready...
