...eight men who are this year taking Geology 22 under Dr. Jaggar are making a geological survey of the Middlesex Fells Park Reservation, which is about two miles north of Cambridge. The area of the reservation, about twelve square miles, has been carefully mapped topographically by the metropolitan Park Commissioners, and their chart is being used by the Harvard men as a starting point for more accurate and fine geological mapping. This region is a very important subject of study, since it illustrates many different rock formations. The structure of these formations has never been carefully worked...

As soon as more gravel is thrown on and about a foot of loam on top of the gravel, grass seed will be planted and the whole area will become as well adapted to athletics as Soldiers Field proper...
Work on the repairs to the Rotch Building to fit it up for a mining laboratory has progressed very satisfactorily. On the floor of the old baseball cage concrete bases have been put in position for the stamp mill and Huntington mill.

...pronounced change from straight-away to turn exerts a detrimental effect upon the gait and speed of the runner. In the new track this difficulty has been removed by the introduction of a gradual transition curve in the approach at either end. This transition curve is in three tangent area, each twenty feet in length. The radius of the first is three hundred and eighty two feet, thus making the departure from the straight-away very gradual. In the second, the radius is shortened to one hundred and ninety-one feet, making the curve a trifle greater. In the third...
