...been in operation, with a rather inferior mounting, at the former Harvard station in Arequipa, Peru. The 24-inch Bruce has long been the Observatory's most powerful tool for studying southern stars and nebulae, and with its new modern mounting it will continue on two especially significant problems--first, the survey of the super-system of galaxies known as the spiral or extra-galactic nebulae, and second, the motions of stars, and the stellar structure, in the neighborhood of the sun. For this second problem, Dr. W. J. Luyten, of the Observatory staff, will leave. Cambridge within a month...
...problem is not even as simple as club versus non-club. There is the hierarchy of established clubs to be considered. Leaving the feeding problem aside, it is a question whether smaller, not larger, sections might not offer a solution. If 50 percent instead of 25 percent were left out of clubs the clubs would not be such an integral part of Princeton life.

The clubs might well abandon their defensive attitude and give thougt to the course of future development. There are no panaceas for the club problem, but there are great possibilities in intelligent direction of evolution. The Princeton Alumni Weekly...

The rising tide of study, symbolized in such ninth wave as the interest in the English literature contest and the success of the Reading Period, has overwhelmed the playboy except in that brief period between September and October of the Freshman year and club life...

Nowhere does one find the affairs of the University discussed with that sure freedom that is found at the dinner of the alumnus who is ten years out from Sever Quadrangle. Improvement, planful aspiration, avowed democratic principle--all these have a way ofturning will-o'-the wisp when the builders of the report, who are either too safely ensconced in the best clubs to care about action, or are alumni like the Princeton investigator, decide quite humanly...
