Professor Dayton C. Miller, professor of Physics in the Case School of Applied Science, Cleveland, Ohio, will deliver the first of a series of eight lectures on "Sound Analysis" at the Lowell Institute, 491 Huntington Savenue, Boston, this evening at 8 o'clock. The special subject for today is, "Sound; Sound Waves; Characteristics of Sounds." Each lecture will be accompanied with illustrations and experiments. All are free and open to the public...
...stir our wrath. The Graduate Student writes delightfully and flatteringly of our University; yet he has found room for faults which have been impressed on him. With a freshness and toleration, the antithesis of the sourness and personal tone of the Confessions, the Impressions satisfy us, but still sound a warning against the unnatural and artificial indifference which seems to hover over us like a threatening cloud.

The article contains sound distinctions and acute observations, but it is marred by some pretentiousness in tone and certain defects of style. These last are such as perennially affect the cleverer kinds of undergraduate criticism--the use of a vocabulary sometimes merely precious, sometimes employed with an imperfect sense of idiom.

The resulting confusion which would inevitably arise if the members of three classes were wearing buttons--and particularly in the event of less than the whole of any class wearing them--a development which can in no way be insured against--is to be avoided. Class buttons do not create class unity. They can only express that unity if it is already in existence. As a means of identification they lose their claim to existence with each class passing through a year of cohabitation...
Bradlee was again among those missing from the line-ups, his place at half back being taken by Bettle. But it is important that Bradlee, despite Bettle's good work as understudy, be in sound condition rest. Hitchock was also absent from his position at tackles; he is nursing an injured ankle which seems to be rapidly healing...
