...October issue of the Harvard Guardian, just published, continues the level and pattern of the two preceding numbers. Representing a series of essays on various topics in history, political science, and economics, with incidental articles in related fields, the Guardian has established, all in all, a high standard for an undergraduate journal.

This she described as a "polyhexagonal lacelike pattern of atoms with the characteristic lacunae or holes, the whole forming a truncated tetrahedron, a cage-like space enclosing a structure roughly resembling a six-point diamond." Molecules in this weight class were called "space-enclosing cyclols." Significance of this work is that the way a molecule is built...
