...assumption is unsupported, and utterly unjustified. The number of exhibitors is small, but the fault lies not with the directors but with the conditions of life here. It is obvious that College life does not provide the time or the inspiration for creative work. It is significant that most of the work shown was done in the summer; that all the major exhibitors are leaving next year to study art elsewhere; that only one up perclassman was shown, other Juniors and Seniors of artistic leanings having, long since departed. If the Editors of the CRIMSON feel that insufficient effort...
...Fault. Leland Stanford University maintains Professor Lydik Siegumfeldt Jacobsen and a vibration table by means of which he simulates the shocks and temblors of earthquakes. Miniature buildings on the table rock, collapse or remain upright as actual buildings might behave under natural conditions. Skyscrapers of more than 30 or 40 stories are generally flexible enough to resist earthquake oscillations. Buildings of four to 30 stories run greatest risk because they tend to vibrate in unison with quakes. Last week's earthquake proved Professor Jacobsen's thesis. In Long Beach & vicinity mainly low structures were wracked and razed. Skyscrapers...
...must to all subscribers, TIME arrives punctually at the Hacienda Rio Negro, is never jungle-bound.

Mrs. Fell testified her back was turned when she heard him rise from the table, stagger and fall with a big table knife in his chest. She pulled it out, had hysterics. His stepfather Alexander Van Rensselaer, president of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association, called Fell "not the kind...
...Cornish ocC will probably play in third place. During the season he has developed a smashing game that is hard to overcome. At one time seeming to lack the idea of volleying high shots that put him out of position, he has by practice largely eliminated this fault. Sandy Davenport '34 has carried on throughout the winter, winning his matches with an almost professional regularity. Evidently his experience in tennis tournament play has minimized the difficulty of gaining a mental equilibrium, which, however intangible it may sound, is a determining factor in any sport. F. L. Young...
