Possibly a sense of humor would be dangerous to the intensity of conviction and idealism necessary to such statesmanship; perhaps a period of incarnation removes all traces of natural humor; at any rate the Lampoon seems to have been working in a sphere in which it is not appreciated...
Last week's despatches from Berlin indicated that Herr Einstein had satisfactorily surmounted the difficulty; solved his field equations for two specific cases, proved his assumption. In the first case he selected an imaginary charged sphere to apply his formulae to, in the second a number of isolated charged points in space. Both conditions are actually represented in the universe. From the first the relationship between gravity and electricity on Earth may be determined, from the second the electro-gravitational relation of Earth to the universe...
...applying Case 1 to Earth it is necessary to alter the globe to some extent. We must imagine it a perfect sphere, devoid of any flattening at the poles, devoid of hills, dales. On such a sphere the gravitational pull at any two points equidistant from the surface is equal. If we further assume that this sphere is a charged body the electrical forces will everywhere be symmetrical. These conditions exist approximately on Earth. To such a sphere and to the two pairs of forces acting on it the parent field equations of Einstein were applied, found to bear...
...that few realize he is but the senior third of John Ringling's publicity team. The other two, Floyd Bell and Thomas Killilea. frequently have a hard time getting audience as Ringling representatives. Yet between this triumvirate, all America is divided into three parts,, each has his particular sphere of influence. In Washington, Detroit and Cleveland, Pressagent Bell, who left a good job with the St. Louis & San Francisco ("Frisco") R. R. five years, ago, handles all circus "public relations." Newark and Cincinnati are the peculiar province of Pressagent Killilea, who abandons his Boston advertising business each March...
...even without the immediate facts which can be gathered in universities throughout the country, the projection of undergraduate thought beyond the sphere of the collegiate, is justified. In opposition to the policy that editorials should leave to the rest of the thinking world, matters of national concern, is the position that students who will be the nucleus of the nation's affairs ten years from now, should carry their interests into fields beyond the academic hot-house. The production of a race of scholars is the best that the former policy can hope to attain; the spreading of a more...
