...ideal day,--sun and a blue sky,--for spectators and players at the University-Dartmouth football encounter this afternoon in the Stadium, was the official prediction of the Blue Hills Observatory at a late hour last night. The Observatory, which is a part of the University, and the most accurate forecaster of weather in the vicinity of Boston, went so far as to say that yesterday's cumulous clouds, which cut off the sun's rays, and which are caused by the cooling of the upper strata of air, would probably be absent today. As for a storm,--nearly...
...always tempting to take the ideal point of view and argue that after all football is a sport and not a business, that it would be better if the undergraduates who were most concerned directed all athletic work, that in football in particular the emphasis has been disproportionate and the individual made a mere cog in a machine. But such arguments, however tempting, are idle unless they accord with facts. And the trend during the past two decades at least has been in the opposite direction. There are signs that even crew, which, in the past, has relied more than...

Perhaps if children, as President Coolidge suggests, are educated with the camel as their ideal, the land may one day be completely dried up. But with the Atlantic seaboard states drinking openly, the South reported to be drinking secretly, and all the farmers through the great dry West brewing their own applejack, the chances of successful enforcement are decidedly meager...
...geographical and astronomical knowledge, and embodies many principles which have been rediscovered by modern scientists only in the comparatively recent past. It was probably used as an observatory by Egyptian astronomers, who knew how to measure the earth, the distance between earth and sun and the length of an ideal meridian. The perimeter of the pyramid, divided by its height, gives 3.1416, the geometrical π. The number of of days in the year is deducible from the dimensions of an inner chamber. One of the interior galleries is oriented toward the pole star. The pyramidal cubit (635.66 millimeters) is exactly...
...broad city streets. But they cannot do it yet. To advertise an Air Carnival at Mitchel Field, L. I., Lieutenant Edwin Johnson obtained permission from the New York City authorities to land on Riverside Drive near Grant's tomb. His plane, the Speery Messenger, flew down under ideal conditions, but a skid on slippery asphalt caused a collision of plane and lamp post with damage to both. Still, the aviator flew back to Mitchel Field that same afternoon...
