...Garden has been the oldest of its kind in America, as the earlier gardens of Bartram and others have long been abandoned. It is one of the oldest scientific departments of the University founded in 1807 and thus is one of the first of field stations for the modern method of laboratory teaching of the sciences, writes S. F. Hamblin, Director of the Botanic Garden discussing interesting phases of this little known department of the University, in the current issue of the Alumni Bulletin...

The scope of the work is indeed limited to the directions and angles of a single right triangle, since the reciprocals to the diagonals are at right angles to them. Far from limiting the possibilities of the work, this method adds immeasurably to the possibilities of design.

Hubbard, a Harvard graduate, was writing an article for some magazine criticising the method of play of the Princeton football team, I wrote to him to ask him to withdraw his article and to the magazines which I understood might publish it, requesting them not to do so. I thought it might be useful to you to have copies of my letters, which I enclose. The first two concerns I wrote to replied that they should not think of publishing such an article; the third, which is to publish it, I did not hear about...
