...must not try to suppress any of his energy that is leading to sin. but to turn its course, and transform it into virtue. This way any one can rise above himself and become a man, no matter how low be may have fallen. The ideal of the perfect man-the picture of Christ.-the thought of mother. father. or a loved one. all in some way reflection of Christ, are the things which will turn a man the quickest from yielding to temptations...
...absolute control of the current is therefore the first essential, and Mr. Burton has found that by making the rheostats not out of wire but out of liquids that more perfect control is obtained. Mr. Burton has also discovered that when several metals are heated by the same currents, the softer are not fused more quickly than the harder; in other words, each metal calls for its appropriate amount of the current. Thus he is enabled to heat iron, copper, and brass all by one current...
...second great improvement of his method is that, since the metal is heated uniformly and continuously, it can be forged into shape by machines with perfect accuracy. It is no longer necessary that a man should pound only where the heat remains in the metal, now by one turn of a machine, the metal is twisted into the desired shape, and the finished product has been produced...
...maintained that the particular methods adopted are perfect in every respect; but the general plan which has been followed seems in the light of the mistakes and failures of the old Union, to be practical and expedient. We have here, at least, an honest attempt on the part of those who have at heart the debating interests of Harvard, to elevate and improve them: and it is the duty of every Harvard man, by his presence and by participation in the debates, to give this new movement his hearty support...
...annual report for 1891-92 Professor John Trowbridge calls attention to the increased attendance in the laboratory courses in Physics. It has been the policy of the department to perfect the systematic courses of laboratory instruction rather than to offer lecture courses which may serve to attract only a momentary attention to the subject. In the year 1891-92 there were 265 students in the Physics courses while this year there are 324. The growth of the laboratory courses suggests that portions of the space now occupied by cabinets of apparatus, may have to be adapted to laboratory work...
