...occupied by the large lecture room and by cabinets for lecture apparatus; next comes a smaller lecture room and the students' laboratory devoted to Physics 1. The western end is taken up by research rooms devoted to the study of thermo-magnetism and to the investigation of the extreme ultra violet part of the spectrum...
Professor Lyan's work with ultra-violet rays, and Professor Sabine's investigation of the transmission of sound, and its applications to building materials are among the many important researches going on. At present, there are more than a score of pieces of investigation in progress in the Jefferson Laboratory, with many more in the Cruft. Work so brilliant and of so advanced a nature merits the recognition and approbation of the University in general...
...Damon's essay on Strindberg, Schonberg, and Sibelius is praisworthy as an attempt to relate the arts, and also to help the reader to appreciate two ultra-modern composers, both of whom deserve enthusiasm. But this method of treatment, although conventional, is so frankly subjective that it seems ultra fantastic and amateurish. It is nevertheless interesting to those who received impressions of the music totally different from those expressed by Mr. Damon here. It is stimulating in that it is entirely subjective; but one must always remember that it is Mr. Damon who is speaking and not Schonberg, Strindberg...
...majority of undergraduates are pacifists in the true sense of the word, because a pacifist is one who bends every effort for the maintenance of peace by means best suited to the time and place in which he lives. A great difference exists between such people and those ultra-pacifists who choose extreme means unsuited to the present day. Since the government has failed to initiate any adequate movement for the proper defence of our country, is it not the logical course for a true pacifist to try to correct this deficiency by gaining a certain amount of needed training...
...simple linear quantitative relationship between the exact amount of radioactivity and the atomic weight was found. The ultra-violet spectrum of a typical specimen appeared to be exactly identical with that of ordinary lead. The necessary inference seems to be that lead from radioactive sources consists of a mixture of at least two substances, of which one is ordinary lead. The foreign substance must be very similar to ordinary lead and very difficult if not impossible to eliminate by chemical means; for many precautions were taken to purify the samples. This substance cannot be identified in the ultra-violet spectrum...
