...Manhattan last week Hans Torkel Fredrik Lundberg told how he had made a complete magnetic survey of the whole Meteor Crater area. Mr. Lundberg is president of his own company in Toronto, but he is working at present for someone else, who prefers to remain anonymous.

...willing to do this advanced work. Proof of this is the fact that when, some years ago, freedom in selection of courses was granted, more than 300 Freshmen turned to advanced courses. Forty per cent of the grades received by these men were A or B, and most took survey courses, like Economics A, in the field in which they later concentrated.
