...Year's weekend is the commencement of the regular schedule, and more than 100,000 people have been carried in the last nine years. Of special interest to Harvard men who cannot travel too far is the new "Berkshire-Mohawk," a daily that leaves Boston at 7:55 o'clock in the morning, arriving at Pittsfield at 11:52 o'clock. The daily "Albany-Boston Express" can be taken for the return trip...
Much like the late Elihu Root, who knew every leaf of its venerable trees, is 126-year-old Hamilton College (425 students), which stands on a plateau near Clinton, N. Y. overlooking the Mohawk and Oriskany valleys. Like Statesman Root the classical character of this stanch old institution, named after Alexander Hamilton, its first trustee, is illustrated in the apocryphal story that its quarterbacks call signals in the language of Euclid.

Pardon me while I go out and wave a red flag so our friends can call...
Deep Rays. Near Mohawk, Mich., the Seneca Copper Mining Co. has a mine shaft which slopes down at a 34° angle to a vertical depth of 1,600 feet. Volney C. Wilson, research assistant of the University of Chicago's famed Arthur Holly Compton, worked for three months in the shaft with a cosmic ray recorder of his own design, containing four ionization tubes. These were arranged in line so as to exclude cosmic rays shooting down the open shaft, to catch only rays boring vertically through the rock. From the surface to 1,600 feet Mr. Wilson...
