...deciding to sponser free reviews for final examinations the Union Committee of 1940 takes up the cudgels laid down since last year. Neglected at mid-years, these reviews for final examinations should be welcomed by all Freshmen, and particularly those lost in the trackless maze of large, none-too-well-organized survey courses...
...electric current is simply the passage of electrons through a conductor. The greater the number of electrons, the higher the amperage of the current. At normal temperatures the electrons, pushed by the voltage, make the best individual progress they can through the maze of atoms, and they are impeded by the atomic dance. If the conductor is progressively chilled, the resistance to the current should fall off as the atomic dance slows down. In theory, the resistance should diminish in a smooth curve until it vanishes entirely at Absolute Zero, where the electrons would encounter no more opposition than would...
