Arthur Pegler's son Westbrook could tell many another story of his old man, for the elder Pegler is a living example of the oldtime newspaperman. He went to work for the London Daily Telegraph before he was 20 and quit the New York Daily Mirror year before last at 73. In 1884 he landed in New York from a freighter and headed west. For three years he rode the range in the Dakotas and Iowa, then covered the trial of a brewer for the murder of a Methodist temperance leader who had put over local option in Sioux...
Something must be done, therefore, to nip the expansion of tutorial specialization before it distorts President Lowell's "mirror" any more. One possible solution would be the shuffling around of all the tutors now living in Houses so as to produce a more nearly rounded tutorial staff in each House. If this plan is objectionable on the ground that tutors, like baseball players, don't ordinarily like to leave their home club, then some other solution must be found. This might amount to filling vacancies which may occur from now on with tutors in fields not well-represented...

The last stretch of the mile and three-quarters course provided an almost mirror-like surface for the final struggle in a prow-and-prow duel between the oarsmen from the Severn and from Cambridge which Harvard...
Experts consider McDonald Observatory's mirror the finest piece of astronomical glass ever made. Because of the observatory's southern location, it will cover more sky than any other in the U. S.-all the sky except that relatively small part which lies within 30° of the south celestial pole. But it will not probe so far into space or catch such faint stars as Mt. Wilson's 100-incher; and Dr. Struve, candidly admitting these limitations last week, said that it would be used for those wide-vision purposes to which it is especially well...
