...must be made before tonight. More entries are needed and the whole University understands that they are; strong hopes are entertained by the management that not a few men will present themselves at this eleventh hour, and all men, who take a pride in seeing everything Harvard made a success, will share this hope. Let us speak a frank word about this. The Winter Meetings are losing their popularity and whether they would be advisable another year is a matter of doubt.

The true success lies in the number of well trained teachers and investigators sent forth, and in this direction the results have been very satisfactory. During the past three years the laboratory has supplied to other institutions one professor, one assistant professor, and two instructors in physics. In the past year, moreover, two graduate students have gone into the practical applications of physical science; and these well trained men can extend the influence of this...
