...holding the Class Day and Commencement exercises in the Stadium, there are at least a few practical objections. Inclement weather would have a greater effect than before in detracting from the comfort of all, inasmuch as some of these exercises, now held in Sanders, would be transferred to a spot unprotected from the rain and the chill of the wind; and the older graduates, who have the very first right to the enjoyment of Commencement, would suffer the most. The Stadium is also at no small distance from the Yard, where both on Class Day and Commencement those...
...Saturday's game, the weak spot proved to be the three centre positions of the line and here the second repeatedly went through for gains. Marshall and Carrick each lacked aggressiveness in repelling the attack and played too high to be effective...
...Observatory has issued a circular giving a series of measurements of the diameter of the bright spot surrounding the Linne crater on the moon's surface made before and after the passage of the shadow of the earth during the total lunar eclipse of October 16. The circular contains tables which show that the spot has increased in size during the last three years. Professor W.H. Pickering, who made the observations, believes that the explanation of the change in the size of the spot is that Linne is more active than heretofore, and that there is therefore surrounding it more...

During the recent eclipse of the moon Professor Pickering of the Astronomical Observatory ascertained that the bright spot around the Linne crater on the surface of the moon had increased considerably during the eclipse when deprived of the heat of the sun. Professor Pickering is inclined to the belief that this was caused by a light deposit of hoar frost. The observations bore him out, showing by the most accurate kind of micrometic measurements that the spot had increased during the time the moon was obscured. That the spot is a deposit of hoar frost and not light reflected from...
