...necessary, as extremely small fractional parts come into play. Professor J. Trowbridge and Dr. S. Sheldon are at work on Electro motive forces, while Professor J. Trowbridge and Mr. Sabine propose to study the surface to the moon and determine its character by means of the absorption of the ultra-violet rays by surfaces of rock, ice and snow...
...giving images two inches in diameter; nine with an eighteenth camera. Twenty-five negatives were taken to measure the brightness of the corona and surrounding; five negatives to search for inter-Mercurial planets; twenty to study the spectrum of the corona. They will reach from yellow rays to extreme ultra violet. Seven observations were made with photometer measure. The general illumination during totality was found lighter than the eclipses of 1878 and 1888. The corona was similar to those of 1868 and 1878, but showed much more detail than the latter...
...permit the photographing of eight different regions of the spectrum of the corona at the spectrum of the corona at the same time, which will be wholly in the green and yellow parts of the spectrum. Other apparatus will take photographs of the blue region and the ultra-violet, or that which it is beyond the power of the eye to perceive. The plates will not be developed at Willows but they will be brought out leisurely either at Cambridge or at Southern California where the party is to go, after the eclipse is over, to work for the benefit...
...hear them. By courtesy-misplaced it would seem-the college authorities have extended the privilege of hearing these clergymen in Appleton Chapel to the people of Cambridge. But the people of Cambridge wrongfully abuse this privilege by crowding out those who have the right. When even an ultra-conscientious man goes to chapel and gets treated in this way, it is small inducement for him to go again to be hustled and crowded and forced to stand in a draught throughout the service. It is to be hoped that some amendment may be made to the rule by which people...
...student-organizations called nations had acquired corporate rights at the end of the 12th century. The University of Bologna as an institution of learning is known as studium (sc., generale) Bononie. There were down to the 16th century two universities, those of Citramontani with 17 nations, and those of Ultra-Montani with 18 nations. At the head of each of these two universities there was a "rector," many of whose functions are exercised by the president of this university in historical succession. The English universities copied this institution from Paris, where it was an adaptation from the Bolognese model...
