...field of technical research interesting experiments have been tarried on with the x-ray under the direction of Mr. Alan Burrougas, Curator of Paintings of the Minneapolis institute of Arts, with a grant from the Milton Fund for Research. To quote from Mr. Burroughs' report to the Director, these experiments show that the x-ray has developed into a valuable addition to the expert's equipment for judging the antiqritv or genuineness of paintings more than 100 years old, or for estimating in some cases the evidence of authorship on more tangible grounds than style and feeling. This development involves...
Many who have read the extracts from the report of the Student Council Committee of Education, published in yesterday's CRIMSON, have considered Section III, concerning Subdivision into Colleges, an undergraduate attempt to rival Plato. Remembering that the "house divided" is supposed to fall, they see in this project of the Committee an excellent means of destroying Harvard. Yet upon further consideration, one can more clearly understand just what the plan implies and why it is both necessary and practical...
...even in that respect, the change would not cause tremendous havoc. The present dormitory groupings, the present tutorial system, the practical system; all these are easily adaptable to the smaller colleges. Thus this section of the Committee's report is no idle vaporism or Pla tonle impossibility. It is a sane suggestion of offering a practical panacea for present ills.

In this section of the report, the Committee has certainly...
...admirably suggestive report of the Education Committee of the Harvard Student Council will afford material for helpful discussion, not only at Harvard but in other American universities. It represents the keen observation of a committee of students who are representative of the best undergraduate intelligence and character. The principal recommendation of the committee, that for a division of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors into permanent groups for purposes of residence--or, in other words, into "colleges" on the English plan is advanced with some very clear and cogent reasoning. It is of course, based on the present condition of unwieldiness...
...matter of instruction in philosophy. It is proposed that the philosophy course shall quite directly envisage the "current conflict between religion and science" not, apparently, in a matter which assumes to settle the question ex-cathedra, but in a way to present the vital elements of the subject. The report says: "The course should present the philosophy of Plato, that of Aristotle, of the Stoics, of Kant, of one of the Moderns, say Bergson, and possibly one or two others." Though the committee does not say so, in presenting this demand it is echoing the ideas of Professor William James...
