...simple linear quantitative relationship between the exact amount of radioactivity and the atomic weight was found. The ultra-violet spectrum of a typical specimen appeared to be exactly identical with that of ordinary lead. The necessary inference seems to be that lead from radioactive sources consists of a mixture of at least two substances, of which one is ordinary lead. The foreign substance must be very similar to ordinary lead and very difficult if not impossible to eliminate by chemical means; for many precautions were taken to purify the samples. This substance cannot be identified in the ultra-violet spectrum...
...present issue is not a perfect specimen of its kind, it is not the fault of the board. Not only is material scarce at the beginning of the College year, but graduate editors--called in rather as distinguished contributors than as stopgaps--do not always excel undergraduates. In Norman Hapgood's article, "Germany's Disease," for instance, we have but a hurried and slight presentation of something that deserves fuller treatment and might receive better development at the hands of some undergraduate. It is well to dispute the larger avowals of Germany's "defensive" position which have gone forth backed...
...Municipal Charters" by Nathan Matthews, A.B., LL.B., Mayor of Boston and former lecturer on Municipal Government is considered and important contribution to the science of charter-making, being rather a handbook for practical use than a discussion of political theory. It gives specimen charters and reviews the phases of municipal government native to the American people...
...Busch's desire that the new building should be a characteristic specimen of German architecture and that it should therefore be designed by a leading architect in Germany. Through the kind intercession of Geheimrat Schmidt, of the Prussian Ministry of Education, who has done so much to facilitate the interchange of professors between Harvard and Berlin, we succeeded in obtaining the services of Professor German Bestelmeyer of Dresden, one of the very foremost architects of contemporary Germany, whose recently completed Central Hall of the new University building at Munich is an undoubted work of genius and justly enjoys a more...
...short play by David Carb '09, which follows Mr. Eaton's article, is a specimen of what our eager young dramatists are planning to give us, a more efficient censorship than that sporadically exercised by the Mayor of Boston will be necessary. "The Easiest Way" was a brutal play, dealing frankly with a brutal subject, but it at least succeeded in making vice hideous. Mr. Carb's play, "The Other Side," attempts to inform the reader (the play is fortunately too short for the stage) that for a woman there is more chance of happiness in vice than in unmarried...
