Next year, Mather will give only the second half of Geology 1; Geology 1a is scheduled for L. Don Leet, who also directs the University's Seismograph Station. Even alone, Mather's colorful lectures would make the elementary course in the department worthwhile...
...Pacific Northwest's earthquake which killed eight and hospitalized more than 60 on Wednesday, occurred in an entirely new area for quakes, L. Don Leet '29, director of the University Seismograph Station, said yesterday...
...Leet, professor of Geology, announced yesterday the development of a technique by which earthquake-recorders can discover and chart storms over 1000 miles away. The College's new seismograph, which made its debut last month, may make the weather-man's job 25 percent more accurate, he said...
Professor Leet has successfully tried his technique on several hurricanes. His method, he says, is practicable only if the seismograph gives a running report to observers above the ground. The College's new instrument, which dispenses with underground journeys and photographic plates, is the first of this type...
...machine, devised by Roland K. Blumberg 4G, may well be the "seismograph of tomorrow," predicts L. Don Lect, professor of Geology and director of the Station. It records earth tremors on special tape in the seismologist's own office, eliminating the need for trips to underground stations to determine which quake messages are being recorded...
