...main object of the conference is to exchange ideas and plans for work in the various college Christian Associations. Mr. A. L. Thayer '04, graduate secretary of Phillips Brooks House, and J. M. Groton '09, president of the Christian Association, will represent the University...
...object of this article is to remind the students of their responsibility in this matter: maintaining quiet after 10 o'clock, not only in the dormitories where the athletes live, but also in the streets near by.

These ribbons move up and down with the telescope, serving to guide the manipulation of the lever, so that...
Besides guiding the tube into position, electricity is also to be employed for keeping it on the object as the latter is carried from east to west by the west-to-east motion of the earth...
