...method, oil frequently remains in the finer sands, and may, after 20 years more, distribute itself through the area again. The petroleum resources of Pennsylvania amount to over 400 million barrels, though only 35 million barrels have been removed. By these recovery methods, a very high percentage of the latent oil could be salvaged. Professor Johnson is not an uncritical optimist, however; he believes we should in no way weaken the drive for conservation of these essential resources...
...many men the competition for places in the Freshman Glee Club seems unusually severe and discouraging--and here the Hall Choruses play a useful part.

The game proved that at last Fisher had transformed the latent power of his heavy forwards into actual strength, usable when the occasion demanded; yet the game also showed that Harvard still lacked a running attack of real ground-gaining ability...
...potentially powerful team all year, a team which has showed occasional flashes of brilliancy and which demonstrated its fighting qualities at Princeton. Potentially, to repeat, it is one of the best Harvard teams of years. On Saturday it will have a chance to prove that it can translate latent power into reality...
