...practical uses of his recent invention, the inomotor. His remarks were illustrated by diagrams and the utility of the machine when used as a means of systematic exercise, and for a symmetrical development was shown by several performances on the machine by Mr. H. A. Higgins, a professional model. In speaking of the purpose and value of the inomotor, Dr. Sargent said in part...
...Cretan pictographs corresponding to the Hittite pictograph. He also found a system of Cretan linear signs analogous to the Capriote characters. We can approximately make out that these Western systems of writing, centered in Crete, go back to the date of the early Egyptian Hieratic script selected as the model of the Phoenician alphabet by Count Emmanuel de Rouge's theory and thus, if theory is abandoned, and a derivation from Cretan pictographs is substituted, we have a more or less ascertained history to substitute for de-Rouge's backward leap of one thousand years...
...principal contribution to the November Monthly is a poem, "Prometheus Pyrphoros," by J. T. Stickney '95. The poem is an attempt to imagine what was contained in a lost play by Aeschylus. The versification, however, which is almost entirely of blank form, does not follow the model of the ancients. Instead of ten syllables to a verse there are more often eleven, with now and then a passage in rhyme. The style as a whole is very subtle and obscure. The basis of the poem is the fable of Prometheus: He attempts to bring light and fire to the people...
...shell designed for the University crew by Mr. Clinton H. Crane was tried for the first time yesterday afternoon. The boat is finer at the bow, wider in the stern, and much more shallow than those built on the old model. The shell is not expected to have extraordinary speed. But it was calculated that if the lines could be made some-what finer without rendering the boat correspondingly unsteady an increase of speed amounting to a couple of seconds in the mile would result. In yesterday's trial the boat appeared to be very steady. Although it is fully...
...Freshmen, and three feet longer than the standard length, though the width has not been changed. Its dimensions are: Length, 64 feet 1-2 inch; beam, 23 inches; depth amidships, 9 1-2 inches; at bow, 5 inches; at stern, 4 inches. It is slightly fuller than the old model, with more flooring. The increase in fulness is at the bilge with an inch more camber in the stern section. This gives the stern the tapered appearance of a four, but to offset the change the last two sections are considerably fuller, which will tend to keep up the crew...
