...with a Scottish burr), became interested, worked out a strange but correct theory. When gamma rays pass through water, they hit electrons, and the impact bumps the electrons up to high velocities. The electrons do not move faster than light in a vacuum (186,000 m.p.sec., the Einsteinian speed limit of the universe), but they do move faster than light in water, 140,000 m.p.sec. For exceeding the local speed limit, the electrons are "fined" a part of their energy, which shows up as Cherenkov radiation. Something analogous happens when a ship moves on the sea's surface...
...Committee can remedy this situation in either of two ways. One would be to limit more specifically, though not necessarily less flexibly, the area for which the student is responsible on the Qualifying exam. The claim that the present vagueness is equivalent to a reasonable limitation is contradicted by the direction on the exam that it is designed to test the student's knowledge of the entire field...
...thunder of nays that resounded from the faculty meeting last week over Dean Elder's plan to limit Ph.D. study to four years must have come either from aroused protective instincts or from simple misunderstanding. Possibly the various departments suspect in the Dean's proposals a plot to catalyze his present comfortable hold into an iron grip. Or they may think the proposals would really alter the structure of graduate study. Both of these fears should cease...
...topics, who abuse the admirable leniency of the present system. Yet not everyone can or should manage a thesis in three years and a degree in four. Factors such as the depth of the research required or the unusual nature of the study topic make a strictly unexceptionable time limit undesirable...
Crimson center forward Roger Tuckerman, who starred on offense, faked the Dartmouth goalie in a pivot play for Harvard's initial score in the first quarter. He also assisted Hedreen for the final tally. Strong work by goalie Tom Bagnoli and left half Marsh McCall helped limit the Indian attack to one goal midway through the game...
