...airplane and airship differ as do those of racing car and motorbus. Dirigible engines must: run thousands of hours between overhauls, have low weight and low fuel consumption, be reversible in operation (for maneuvering), cool properly while maneuvering at small air speed, be safe from fire, be capable of repair in flight. In view of the requisites, particularly those of reliability, low fuel consumption and reduced fire hazard, Lieut.

To acknowledge a glaring and discreditable wrong and to refuse to repair it, is incredible. We feel, with the CRIMSON, that the incident is Harvard's stigma and is indefensible, but we propose to act. It is queer that we should be charged with adding to the stigma by publicity. The CRIMSON has acknowledged a glaring injustice and only a perverted view could see an open avowal and correction of the wrong...
