...past years, the Commencement procession will assemble in the outer Yard about 10 o'clock. Led by University Overseers and the Corporation, the line of march circles the Widener steps and proceeds to the Memorial Church platform, where the High Sheriff of Middlesex County will open the proceedings...
...novelist, Mrs. Fischer set out to study human lives during a period when not merely was an old order overthrown but several more were manufactured and destroyed. If she could have created the outer atmospheres and inner climates through which her characters are supposed to have lived, The Nazarovs would be a novel of great tragic force. But the job calls for more than the style of a competent linguist and the memory of a good reporter. What will impress the reader is not so much the novel that is there as the suggestion of the novel that might have...
...They were pretty sure that particles of some sort, driven out of the sun, touch off the northern lights when they hit the earth's atmosphere. But they did not know what the particles were. Dr. Gartlein is sure that they are solar protons hitting the outer fringes of the atmosphere at about 300 miles per second. When they capture electrons from atmospheric atoms, they give off a little light. Most of the aurora's light, however, comes from oxygen and nitrogen atoms which the solar protons have jarred into luminescence...
...Holy Cross in his last outing. Jim Gabler, who hasn't rated a starting assignment since opening day, might possibly take the mound. Ed Smith, Harry Cavanaugh, Hal Marshall, Dave Skinner, and Bill Rosenau will cover the infield with Vin Morton, Ernie Wohler, and Kev Reilly in the outer pastures. Game time for both contests is 4 o'clock...
...Great Grab. The sharp difference; in density between the inner and outer planets he accounts for in another way. The sun's atmosphere was hottest toward the center and cooler farther out. As the gas gradually condensed into solid particles, only substances of high boiling point (metals, mineral compounds) could condense in the hot inner regions. This accounts for the high density of the inner planets. Only in the cool outer parts of the system could light compounds like ammonia and methane get together in masses. The outer "protoplanets" grew faster; they were formed from more of the compounds...
