...Pittsburgh the hand of pure science kneaded coal for man's better industry, so at Paris last week it plunged into tropical waters and came out dripping with potential electricity. At Paris the medium for science was Thermo-dynamist Georges Claude,* who told the French Academy of Science that it should be possible to develop cheap power from sun-heated tropical waters...
...week, which may take the form of athletics. A minimum of three hours a week of theoretical instruction is required, including plane and solid geometry, place and spherical trigonometry, college algebra, use of slide rule, physics, (electricity, optics, statical and dynamic mechanics, physical laboratory work, theory of errors, and thermo-dynamics), American history, English, plane surveying, gunnery, and two hours per week of military instruction during the first two years. All these courses, except gunnery and the basic military course, will be taught by the regular academic staff, and, if practicable, even gunnery will be taught by the department...
