...thirteen inch telescope, 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...
...study by those who go from Harvard, for which purpose the apparatus has been so arranged as to 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...
...grounds have been put in order for the winter and there are only a very few plants in bloom out of doors. The most interesting of these is the "Witch Hazel," which is now covered with slender yellow flowers. Near it there is a group of three trees which attract at this season a good deal of attention, because, although they belong to a much warmer climate they appear perfectly well contented here, the southern Cypress, the southern "Yellow-wood," and the Persimmon.

Thus by a petty, illogical and totally inconsistent custom, undergraduates are practically compelled to wear blazers striped with their class colors. In the country during the summer months a man who wears his class color of yellow and black is invariably taken for a Princeton man, and quite naturally too; while donning green and white is supposed to prove conclusively that one hails from Dartmouth. As a result, the true Harvard colors are seldom seen, while those of Yale, Princeton and Columbia are everywhere flaunted before...
