Unfortunately, there is no other possible space for large-scale parking near the dormitories. The narrow streets must be left clear for the snow and fire equipment. But the few broader ones, including Boylston, Massachusetts, and Mount Auburn, can easily accommodate both parked cars and traffic. They would take care of the Business School lot absentees and others who do not enjoy a hike on snowshoes. In case of other homeless machines, there is a vacant plot next to the Peabody Museum which can be made to handle at least 100 automobiles...

They had completed one more season of probing Alaska's great ice mass, clocking its slow motions, and trying to use it as a vast crystal ball to predict the earth's future climate...

"The family altar," he dourly comments, "has been replaced by the bridge table." On Sundays, the premier and Mrs. Manning travel 187 miles to Calgary, where he conducts a Bible class and broadcasts a sermon from the Bible Institute. His wife plays the organ for the hymns...
