...next elections to the society will take place in the fall when a maximum of six Juniors and seven Seniors will be elected. Should there not be a sufficient number from each class to justify taking this number, only a proportionate number from each group will be chosen...
...give away, in which case they will be called for by someone from Phillips Brooks House. In marking this announcement the chairman stressed the fact that inasmuch as few textbooks were turned in during previous drives a large number will be needed to bring the library up to its maximum efficiency...
...limit to the size of the entering class, at 850 men, Harvard has not placed a definite restriction on numbers.

Harvard, apparently, will set standards which will prevent more than the desired number from entering and thus be assured also of a high type of undergraduates. There is a difference of method, but the aim is the same. Along with this there is apparent an intention...
...first large result of hydro-electric development", Mr. Hale continued, "will be to save a large amount of the nation's coal supply. In New York State the maximum utilization of water power sites would conserve approximately one-third of the coal now used in that state, and a proportional reduction could probably be obtained throughout the country. Such a saving would not only relieve the pressure on the nation's fuel resources, but would also be of great advantage to the railroads, which have a great deal of capital tied up in coal cars, which are loaded only...
...progress been made in the building of turbines, larger and with higher speed than was previously thought possible, and now voltages as high as 115,000 in alternating current are being transmitted where a few years ago a current of 30,000 volts was believed to be the maximum. Future developments in transformer capacity and in the transmission of direct rather than alternating current will greatly increase the efficiency of hydro-electric power, and will bring about large changes in the industrial life of the United States...
