Much important research work in chemistry has been carried on in the Wolcott Gibbs Memorial Laboratory since January last, when the building was opened. The most important of these researches have been those on Atomic Weights of Sulphur and Carbon, by Mr. C. R. Hoover; Compressibility of Complex Organic Substances, by Dr. J. W. Shipley; Heats of Combustion of Organic Substances, by Mr. H. S. Davis; Automatic Contrivances for Adiabatic Calorimetry, by Mr. H. S. Davis and Mr. G. D. Osgood; and Electrochemical Study of Thallium Amalgams and of Alloys of Lead and the Alkali Metals, by Mr. F. Daniels...
...discussed by Mr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the United States Bureau of Mines, in a lecture at Emerson D yesterday afternoon. Mr. Holmes suggested solutions for some of the questions regarding the control and safe operation of mines. He concluded that as the mining conditions are becoming more complex, it is now the business of the educational institutions to study the problems...
...melody as the "divinest element" in music, he continues: "The next most important element in dramatic music is dissonance. The more acute the dissonance, the more intense the emotional effect." We are not sure what he means by this, but take it that he has reference to passages containing complex harmonies and unusual or complicated progressions. But therein, as the composer knows, the separate chords may not be dissonances; on the contrary, they must be capable of strict analysis, otherwise they cease to be music. Neither must progressions by too ambiguous on penalty of the effect being flat and dull...
...that the system he personifies is corrupt. Nor does she gain an easy victory over him; indeed, at the end of the play, she herself realizes that to overturn a power rooted in the craven nature of the people, is a work of incalculable slowness. Magee, too, is a complex character, in whom sincerity and trickery are mingled in a very natural manner. The story of the struggle between these two, quite apart from its political significance, is interesting. The third act is somewhat slow and preachy, but the others hold the attention by the richness and variety of their...
...phrasing and confident assertions of the article. But the "piece de resistance" of the number is a longer and more careful article by Louis D. Kornfield '14 entitled "The Political Triangle." The article is well written, showing careful preparation and a real grasp of the essentials of a peculiarly complex and interesting political situation and for this article alone it would be worth while for undergraduates to read the issue. There is also what seems to me a typical utterance of the stand-patter,--a graceful statement of well worn and out worn Republican platitudes by ex-Governor Long. There...
