Perhaps TIME in its wisdom can solve a problem concerning monsters. The Loch Ness creature mentioned in TIME, May 3, does not seem to be a very pretentious beast. Fifty feet is about the greatest length claimed for it, and there is no mention of its having spoken to anyone, or even of its having devoured anyone...

Dr. Wilson has done well in his first year, and will undoubtedly improve. The lectures are well delivered, but not in all cases clear. The laboratory work is interesting, but in some cases, qualitative experiments should be replaced with more quantitative once. Chemistry 16 is far more satisfactory, as professor Kistiskowaky, more thoroughly familiar with the material, and able to approach it from a more advanced point of view, makes his lectures...
