It has already given good evidence of its ability to foretell changes, not only in the direction of the wind and of the humidity of the air, but also of the other more involved factors which must be taken into account in forecasting the weather. The idea of using it in connection with weather forecasts is entirely original in this country...
...ever sat in boats, and yet Davis, the man who coached them, is considered the best professional trainer in the country. This proves conclusively two important facts: First, that professional coaches will not do for college oarsmen. Secondly, that the English stroke is by far the best known.

Often the library contains a book which affords special facilities for obtaining a good idea of the subject. If this were placed upon the reserved shelves it would prove useful to a large number of men, but under the present arrangement the chances are that it will be taken out and kept out by some lucky man to the misfortune of the rest until the time...
