...Merrill concluded his lecture by quoting at length from a pamphlet by Hiram Maxim, the well-known authority on military aeronautics. Mr. Maxim's opinion is that the development of aerial navigation will lesson the chances of war in that nothing save subterraneous works will be free from the bombs dropped by aeroplanes...
...employed to elevate a heavier-than-air machine. The other two the use of vertical screws and the oscillation of wings, involve almost insoluble questions of stability. No progress was made in aeroplanes until Langley showed that the estimation of power necessary to lift a given weight was erroneous. Maxim took up the Work of Langley and contrived to lift 8,000 pounds by the proper balancing of horizontal planes. Lielienthal, a German scientist, attacked the problem of stability which had hitherto impeded any practical progress in mechanical aviation. Mr. Merrill then showed stereopticon views of the gliders invented...
...hall into closer touch with the directors, and increase if possible the attractiveness of the present system. They by laws contain a provision that "no tobacco shall be used on the premises." We have found one of the chief objections to the hall in this useless provision.

Members of the Yale Dining Association are allowed to smoke at will in the hall...
...strength of the old maxim that "Keeping everlastingly at it brings success," I venture to bring up the Philosophy I question once more. It is evident that a considerable number of men in the class of '98 are much disappointed at not being allowed to count either Philosophy 1a or 1b as a whole course next year. Would it not, them, be a good plan for the CRIMSON to put out a blue-book containing a petition that, in consideration of the fact that the proposed change in the course was not announced till late this spring, members...
...whole that we are proud of our team. They did not win to be sure, but every man of them did his best, and from Captain Wrightington down to the last of the substitutes, we are still proud of them. "Strike while the iron is hot" is a good maxim. Such a dinner would also afford a very good chance to discuss what system is to be followed next year, and the Athletic Committee might well be invited to respond to such a toast as "Future victories and how to win them." Such a dinner will be a great success...
