...have read the editorial in this morning's "Crimson", relating to the method of grading in Government I and the credit for the final examination in that course. I wish to assure you that I am grateful for constructive criticism, from whatever source it may come, and hope I do not undervalue the suggestions which you make for the better management of Government...
...problem of grading, however, is not easy. At the beginning of the second half-year I abandoned the decimal system of grading formerly used in Government I and adopted the method of grading by letter which is in use in History I and Economics A. That method has been followed throughout the second half-year and will be followed hereafter. The writer of your editorial seems to have overlooked this change, but I am glad to know that it has your approval...
...operators and from these estimates Umpire Van Diesne prepares his orders for allowable production. His most recent order is calculated to clip some 200,000 barrels per day from California's oil flow, bring production down to around 600,000 barrels per day or less. The California method of production limitation may well prove a starting point for the discussion at Colorado Springs...
...standard method of reducing a gas first to a liquid, then to a solid, is to force it through a fine nozzle, thus causing it to expand and cool. Successive passages through the nozzle make the gas increasingly cold, requiring greater and greater pressure to force it through. Liquid hydrogen is used to absorb the heat from cooling helium. Professor Onnes found that helium would not liquefy until reduced to just below five degrees above Absolute Zero. He got the temperature down three more degrees, but could not solidify the helium fluid...
Professor Keesom last week not only solidified the gas by this method, but he produced 200 cubic centimeters of it, practically a tumblerful. With such a quantity of helium ice he can experiment...
