...light beam in a plane of polarization. The effect is similar to that of double refraction. Straining the medium between the polarizers, which in our case is a celluloid model of the machine we are working on, increases the transmission through the second polarizer and a color scale is produced similar to that produced by the passage of light through a prism. By photographing the display of colors and their form, we can determine the amount of stress applied to the model and the limit of stress which can be applied...
...occupied by Mr. Geddes' public projects. They also help him to make games. For in esoteric circles gamester Geddes is acclaimed Manhattan's greatest. Auction bridge and poker are dismal to him, and so, with the fervor and precision of a half-mad mathematician, he creates games colossal in scale, appalling in complexity...
...meetings would be done away with. The difficulty of securing an adequate supply of instructors with the proper qualifications, something absolutely essential to the success of the system, is a serious obstacle to its materialization. Moreover, the expense herein entailed makes the possibility of its introduction on a large scale still more remote. Even putting these practical considerations aside, there is much to be said for the present day theory of education, which is based on the principle that concentrated study of a restricted field is the best method of arriving at the universal truths which are to be found...
...Freshman dormitories. While the smaller buildings might possibly encourage the formation of cliques more than the larger dormitories, this problem could be solved in much the same way it is done at present. The assignment of rooms in Mower could be done on a minor scale as compared with the filling of a hall the size of Gore. The circulation of members of the first year class among the small Yard buildings would parallel the contacts established between McKinlock, Gore, Standish, and Smith Halls. Besides while the Yard would only hold the same number the Freshman Halls accommodate, it would...
...grow plant rubber with profit to the farmer, in case of war prices. But it might be possible in the future to grow rubber and compete with the tropics. I have found over 1,200 plants to produce rubber. About 40 of them will be cultivated on a large scale...
