...method of discovery of the gorilla goes far to explain the erroneous notions as to variety of species which have grown up throughout the world, and explains too why science has waited for such an exhaustive study as this one by Mr. Coolidge to reduce the classification to one single species of two subspecies. The first specimen in any museum in the world was that in the Boston Society of Natural History and now in the Agassiz Museum. It was discovered by Savage, a missionary in the Gaboon, and sent in 1847 to Dr. Geoffries Wyman, then Professor...
...introduced in zoology a system of photographing skulls against a scale background, a method previously employed by anthropologists. He has a series of over four hundred scale pictures, taken with the assistance of the following museums: Berlin Museum, Hamburg Museum, Oslo Museum, Anatomy Museum at Amsterdam, Congo Museum at Tervueren. Lord Bothschild's museum at Tring, Major PowellCotton's Museum, Dr. Duckworth's collection, and the Museum of Comparative Zoology...
...House Masters have consistently reiterated that they will bend every effort towards making their Houses represent a cross section of The College. There can be no airtight method of arriving at a true cross section; men may be classified in a multitude of ways; some men will fall in a great many classes, some only in a few. The mathematics of things are too complicated to allow exact treatment, and only a very human sort of approximation can be made. Much depends upon an unbiased attitude on the part of the choosers and a clear sighted understanding of the difficulties...
...initial importance that we should obtain a clear idea of what the method of amateur coaching employed here at Cambridge involves in actual practice. In the first place the coaching system is by no means uniform throughout the various sports; nor in fact is it even entirely amateur, the varsity cricket teams being under the tutelage of professionals. In the second place it is essential to distinguish sharply between the university and the college teams. There is little more connection between them here than there is between university and class teams at Harvard, and the coaching to which they...
...Hollywood Revue", at the University for four days, easily takes a place among the best screen musical shows, in spite of a somewhat tiresome manner of presentation that involves letting the curtain fall every five minutes. But this straight revue method fortunately prevents any attempt to graft the customary inane plot on the picture. The individual scenes are introduced by Jack Benny and Conrad Nagel, who for the most part are successful in making this barren role humorous. The acts themselves are excellent, with the exception of a peculiarly irritating sob-ballad by Charles King...
