Furthermore, only rarely did we find a Freshman who had sufficiently gross uncorrected defects of the eye so that he needed the immediate attention of the oculist.

...operation with Professor Kapteyn of Holland, the Observatory is also making an exhaustive study of the magnitude and position of stars far too small to be seen by the naked eye. There are nearly 100,000,000 such stars, but by selecting typical areas it is possible to generalize accurately about the entire number...
