...second matter is that of acoustics. This is the simplest problem of all,--though I confess the mechanics of it might shock some of our victims of Harvard tradition. It would be a simple matter to erect--again at not a great cost--audio amplifiers in different parts of the Stadium so that everything said could be distinctly heard. The telephone transmitters on the platform in the center of the Stadium would carry the voice to the loud speaking telephones located in various parts of the structure. I dare say that one would have less trouble in hearing than...
Congratulations to the Senate are now in order; it has ratified the Four Power Treaty. Of course two and a half months may seem a long period of deliberation, but then the Senate never hurries even when dealing with the simplest problems. The Versailles Treaty was debated for nine months so we need not strain at a mere two and a half...
...many schemes, similar to this one, that are being broached are little more than pipe-dreams, for none of them has been actually tried. It remains for a women's college to take the lead by putting into practice the simplest and sanest device that has yet been suggested. Barnard College has adopted a "Special Honors Course", by which according to Dean Gildersleeve, a limited number of unusually able students will be permitted to study in their chosen field and at the same time be exempt from the larger part of the ordinary routine, prescribed courses and other impediments...
...There are, however, other phenomena in physics of coordinate importance with those of geometry, namely, the phenomena of vibrating systems, of which the pendulum is a familiar example. The simplest type of oscillatory motion is governed by a differential equation of the second order, and two of the solutions of this equation are the functions sin x and cos x. By means of the differential equation the leading properties of these functions can be deduced with ease, and thus the foundations of trigonomemtry are laid...
...near him a standing and a seated figure. The picture is drawn in black on a paper probably once white but now gray in tone. There are slight touches of red in the trappings of the horse and the dress of the figures. The composition is of the simplest, the drawing spirited and sure. It is interesting to note that the picture is remarkably close to a recent purchase of the Louvre, attributed to Mitsunobu (1433-1525) and published in "Le Musee du Louvre depuis 1914, Dons, Legs et Acquisitions", issued...
