...either in inspiring a football team which will be four miles away in Belmont at the time, or in permanently demoralizing the dominion of indifference, it is disappointing that Harvard should succumb under pressure to the revival of a custom it had wisely disposed of. The attitude of undergraduates ion the last few years towards football cannot scathingly be termed indifferent; it has simply been a sane attitude which marked Harvard as being years ahead of other colleges in this respect...
...electron. Protons, heretofore considered the smallest unit of positive electricity, weigh 1,850 times as much as electrons. Cambridge's Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac long ago declared that mathematical necessities require the existence of light-weight protons. Last year Caltech's Carl David Anderson noticed some ion tracks which implied impacts from Theorist Dirac's light protons. Before the Royal Society last fortnight, Dr. P. M. S. Blackett, 35, tall, pale member of Lord Rutherford's platoon of physicists who work in Cambridge's Cavendish's Laboratory, produced 500 pictures of positive particles answering...
...Inhaled Ions. Harvard's assistant professor of industrial hygiene Constantin Prodromes Yaglou is studying the effects of atmospheric electricity on health. The de pendence of gout and rheumatism, among other ailments, on weather conditions seem related to the electric charge, or ion con tent, of the air. In an empty, well-ventilated room the ionization is the same as outdoors, but falls off rapidly in crowded rooms. Dr. Lewis Richard Roller described a machine to count the ions in a room, another to bring the ions up to a healthy ratio. Unless there is something in nature beyond human perception...
Young Rumania, who is only as old as a middle-aged woman,* remembers Ion Bratianu as the Father of His Country. The land was profoundly stirred last week when Father Ion's able grandson George Bratianu, leader of the Liberal Party, had to fight a nasty duel...
...floors. As soon as they were informed of the peril of their red-skinned charges, U. S. Indian agents organized rescue parties, made off for the snow-bound mesas. At the end of the week 789 had been rescued or had straggled home alone. But 200 more piñion nut-hunters presumably subsisting on pony meat were still unaccounted for; eleven were found frozen, dead...
