...heated an hour earlier in the morning, which would entail absolutely no saving in fuel heat. And, as for the question of lights, I am fairly positive that at this season of the year when the sun is hidden so much we would not find the "inexpensive sunlight" satisfactory to rise by or even take notes by at the hour of eight. As for actual earlier retiring, there still remains the same amount of study and after all, the time of retiring is dependent on habit developed through years and changed, if ever, only with extreme difficulty...
There are several reasons that this shift in the working hours of the University be made. Primarily, of course, it will economize coal; the eventual result will be for all undergraduates to get up and go to bed an hour earlier, and thereby to substitute an hour of inexpensive sunlight for expensive kilowatts and calories. Then, too, if Mr. Storrow's program is followed there will be fewer reasons for late hours than formerly--and "early to bed and late to rise" would surely be an ill advised principle, although the fuel administration may seem to advocate...
...means of treating the troublesome question? It has been apparent for several weeks that drastic measures were necessary; nevertheless, would it not be possible to remedy the difficulty not by cutting down on the waste of artificial light, but rather by curtailing the waste of the free and abundant sunlight? In the warring nations of Europe the Clock has been turned back for so long that it may never return to its former habits. The experiment was tried by a large percentage of the University in the R. O. T. C. last summer, and its advantages were obvious...
Whenever the sunlight shines through small apertures it makes small circles--elusive, golden and beautiful. They are perhaps most often noticed in the morning when the weariness from a day's work has not come over one. They are small floating islands of joy which the child laughs at and seeks to capture. In life at college one may also find numerous sun circles. A person with a real smile makes the difference of a cloudy day changed to a sunshiny day. The slightest semblance of a joke, in a tense atmosphere of a class room, often causes the whole...
...look into the conditions of a similar tank at Yale, whose swimming team has enjoyed such a successful season in contrast to the failure of the University aggregation. The Yale tank, which is 75 feet long by 30 wide, although housed in a building of its own, receives no sunlight from overhead, a sufficient quantity penetrating the fairly large side windows. Absolutely no chemicals are used in the water, as the pool is kept sanitary by pumping in fresh water at the rate of 25,000 gallons a day. Every two weeks the pool is cleaned out and given...
