...concentrating in the subject the additionally required courses in astronomy are courses 5 and 3, both half-courses, the former re-covering the material of stellar astronomy in detail and stressing the application of physical principles to stellar problems, the latter the use of instruments in the determination of fundamental star positions, both by visual observation and by photographic procedure. Supplementing course 3 by Geography 34, the student comprehends the use of instruments in the field of practical astronomy. For honors and additional course is required selected from the field of astronomy...
...epee matches Harvard was represented by G. M. Yatsevitch '33 and T. I. Moran '32, neither of whom was able to survive against the stellar opposition afforded by deCapriles and Grautoff of New York University, who helped to administer the only defeat of the season to the Harvard team last month...
...groups of meteorites recently studied appears to be below 3000 million years, which suggests a low age also for the stellar universe. Professor Paneth of Konigsberg has determined the age of a number of meteorites from their relative content of helium and radium; for 24 different iron meteorites he found values ranging from 100 to 2900 million years; for the Pultusk stone meteorites, the fall of which in 1868 has been well observed, he gives a preliminary value of 500 million years, which is probably a minimum value because of possible loss of helium in space and in our museums...
...these four telescopes have taken 142,000 plates. The results of a study of these plates include the discovery of the first spectroscopic binary; of one thousand variable stars in globular clusters and elsewhere; of ten novae; a spectral classification of 225,000 stars, and an international system of stellar magnitudes...
