...lights kept the audience startled and gasping when Professor A. B. Lamb G'03, director of the chemical laboratory, presented the chemist's viewpoint of heat at the fourth symposuim held in the Union Living Room last night. Performing experiments that ranged from simple illustrations of the effect of oxygen and nitrogen on flame to breath-taking feats that approached necromancy, Professor Lamp kept the audience in a continual flurry of excitement...
...complaint that things can't be run on air is thoroughly exploded. Chemists have for years been making some most important compounds out of the raw material of air.
