EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : Will you kindly allow me a space in your columns to make a few remarks concerning class lives?

Prof. Pickering, for instance, the director of Harvard Observatory, is a great observer, and gives almost exclusive attention to his telescopic work, leaving the mathematics of the science entirely to his assistants, Messrs. Chandler and Rogers...
