...actually vary in speed because they choose different paths across the world. On some days they lope along near the equator, where the terrestrial magnetic field is weak, and keep up to, or very close to, the speed of light. Other days they go by way of the polar regions, where the strong magnetic field slows them down. As to why the same signal should stray one way one day and another the next, Dr. Stetson could only suggest: "An unknown cosmic phenomenon...
LEADER in the movement to establish undergraduate field research work, especially in the polar regions, one of Bowdoin College's outstanding, projects is the maintenance and operation of its Kent's Island (on the Bay of Funny) biological station. Manned almost entirely by undergraduates, work at this station centers upon research into the bird life on the island directed by W. A. O. Gross, Bowdoin junior. Important and interesting phases of this unusual type of undergraduate study and research are pictured here...

Three hundred cans for four guys; that's a lot. When you put 300 cans on the mantelpiece that's even worse, but the Winthrop House Polar Bares look upon this achievement with pride as the culminating point in a worthy college career. They argue that it isn't everyone who can drink 300 cans of beer and pile them all on the mantelpiece. The reason they give for collecting such a magnificent stack of tin cans is that when divisionals are over they will be able to celebrate by rolling one down the entry stairs every ten seconds...
...Everest. Permission being refused by the British, we went to the jungles of Borneo to do anthropological work on the so-called wild man of Borneo. During these eight months, we were together practically every minute of the time-night and day. Our principal topic of conversation was the Polar Controversy. I spent considerable time with him in the oil fields of Wyoming and Texas, and when he is in Chicago I see him every day. Surely this intimate relationship could not have endured unless the Doctor was right. F. P. THOMPSON, M. D. Chicago...
