...Cabot. What a continuous flight of twenty hours must mean is clear to anyone who has spent with the hum of engines throbbing in his ears, even three hours in the air. Our wonder increases when we consider that this longest flight yet attempted was made in a plane with only one engine, little chance of floating if forced to descend, still less of being picked up, and a safe landing next to impossible...
...University Aeronautical Society has entered pilots in both the land and the sea-plane contests which commence next Saturday, as well as in the balloon contest which takes place at Akron, Ohio, the middle...
...Professor Chaffee. Two new courses, 10 and 11, are added by Professor Bridgman. Another new course is 21hf on Biological Physics, by Professor Duane and Dr. Bovie. Professor N. H. Davis is to give 6a. An innovation in the Department of Engineering Sciences is the listing of course 4, Plane, Topographical, and Railroad Surveying, which will be given at Squam Lake, N. H., under Professor Hughes. It begins the Saturday following Commencement, 1920, and will last eight weeks. In place of courses 5a hf, 6a hf, and 6b hf, which have been withdrawn, course 5 under Professor Johnson, Professor Huntington...
...artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, and part of the trench artillery, in addition to the strictly coast defense guns. The course provides for two hours of physical training per week, which may take the form of athletics. A minimum of three hours a week of theoretical instruction is required, including plane and solid geometry, place and spherical trigonometry, college algebra, use of slide rule, physics, (electricity, optics, statical and dynamic mechanics, physical laboratory work, theory of errors, and thermo-dynamics), American history, English, plane surveying, gunnery, and two hours per week of military instruction during the first two years. All these...
...interest in oral English,--so called,--instruction in speech with a worthy technical proficiency, an approach to a scientific study of the principles involved in masterful speaking, are receiving today, in many universities and colleges a consideration which looks towards the placing of this branch of study on a plane with others of the humanities. That a building dedicated to the memory of our soldiers, to be used as a place for public gatherings should be in part devoted to the training of men in the art of speaking properly seems perhaps very natural. The part that the human voice...
