...abyss. At the same time, the Gulf of Maine, close at hand with its tributaries, offers a more promising field for intensive investigations into the interaction between the physical-chemical and the biologic aspects of Oceanography than any other sector of comparable extent along the coast of America. The thermal diversity, regional, bathymetric and seasonal, is also wide, with temperatures ranging below the freezing-point of fresh water to values almost tropical within a few miles of "The Hole...
...Department of Physics is conducting at the present time several researches of great importance. Professor William Duane '93 is studying X-rays and radio-active substances, with special reference to their treatment of malignant disease. Professor P. W. Bridgman '04 is carrying on an investigation of compressibilities and thermal conductivities which are of considerable use to the geologist Professor F. I. Chaffee 11 has been measuring for several years the electrical response of the retina to light stimulation, a subject which has an important relation to our knowledge of the mechanism of visitor...
...Cannon has been conducting a series of investigations since 1896, concerned with the natural defenses of the body against bacteria, mechanical disturbances, and against thermal and chemical changes in environment. He has paid particular attention, in his research to the best regulation of the body, and the coagulation and sugar content of the blood...
