Vilhjalmur Stefansson, foremost scientist-explorer of the world, will talk on the subject of "My Five Years in the Arctic" in the Living Room of the Union next Monday evening, December 20, at 8 o'clock. He will be introduced by Mr. W. W. Atwood, President of Clark University and former Professor of Physiography here. This will be the sixth of the Union's main lecture series and will be open to all members of the Union...
...better than a man in a boat on the surface of the water below could get that it is hard to imagine that a person really interested in hydrography would do better to choose to spend his time alone in a boat. But it will not take a real scientist long to make the discovery, and when he does, sooner or later, he is sure to wreck those bridges, though he may have to resort to sabotage to do it. MERRITT Y. HUGHES...
...which Mr. Ellis tells will be of particular interest to undergraduates; namely, John White Webster 1811, Ewing Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy in the University.

But this genial doctor, this cultured scientist, this popular society man came to an untimely end because he murdered a creditor who had hounded him too mercilessly. Whether Mr. Ellis considers him a failure because he committed the murder or because he was unable to hide his guilt, we cannot say; but it was probably for the first...
...Aviation gives us the swiftest mode of transportation ever known to mankind. No bird that flies can soar so high nor fly so fast. From the aviator the scientist has learned about the temperature above, about the gale that blows eastward at terrific speed seven or eight miles above the sea, about the pressure to human heart and tissues which high altitudes bring. From the aviator the world has learned that armies on land and navies at sea have met their master. The next great conflict between nations will be decided by their superiority...
...adverse opinions of one such investigator to the exclusion of others equally if not more than equally able to judge the matter. In regard to the physical and other phenomena of psychical research it cannot be said too strongly, though it ought to be quite evident, that the true scientist investigates only under conditions which preclude fraud, and never allows himself to trust the honestly of the person he is examining. The CRIMSON refers to Dr. Hall's statement that 'physical manifestations dependent upon mediums can all be produced fraudulently.' It is inconceivable that a realization of what the scientific...
