...vigorous black splotches in the neighborhood of 30° north and south latitude, with magnetic polarities reversed in respect to the spots of the dying cycle. They had been looking for months, might have looked for months more (for sunspot changes cannot be forecast like eclipses) had not Dr. Seth Barnes Nicholson of Mt. Wilson Observatory reported two heralds of the sunspot upturn, slyly adding that he saw a first and fainter one a month ago. Sunspots seem to be whirlwinds-the mouths of spiral disturbances arising from below the surface. Hot gases emerging from the vortex expand and cool...
...that the Brobingnagians have lost their foothold in New York, and a reform administration has been elevated into power, there seems to be some hope for a real experiment in municipal government. Major LaGuardia, it is true, has not much in common with Seth Low or with Tom Johnson, the conspicuous high water marks in the movement, but he has a definite program and is a man of undoubted force and integrity. The qualifications, however, which operated with Johnson and Low will also operate with him, and perhaps to an even higher degree, so that the success of his program...
...officio members are President Conant, Dean Hanford, and Crane Brinton '19, corresponding secretary of the Harvard chapter. The elected members, who hold the position for only one year, are Mason Hammond '25, instructor and tutor in Ancient Languages, Charles C. Abbott '28, instructor and tutor in Economics, Seth T. Gano '07, graduate treasurer of Phi Beta Kappa, and Richard C. Curtis '16, prominent Boston lawyer...
...merry one. Probably no other U. S. flying unit in the War managed to have so good a time along with the business of fighting, in which the 95th performed ably if not as spectacularly as Rickenbacker's 94th. The roster of 95 included many a youthful socialite-Seth Low, Sumner Sewall, John Hambleton, Quentin Roosevelt, Sigourney Thayer. In the most trying circumstances they succeeded in maintaining a clublike atmosphere at the squadron bar. Capt. Buckley, a member of the squadron, last year compiled its intimate family lies and friends. Lately he was persuaded to issue...
...theory of government when it is applied to a teeming modern city, without the increasingly popular device of reserving administrative power to a non-partisan expert. With the exception of a few false dawns in American public life, such as the wondrous Tom Johnson or the velvet dominance of Seth Low, our cities have laboured under distressing burdens of incompetence. But Chicago also had her interlude. To a Bohemian immigrant must go the glory of a real resuscitation, however temporary, of her moribund civic pride...
