...thorough study of the theories governing gyroscopic reaction and phenomena, Mr. Sperry has succeeded in developing a non-magnetic compass which holds unerringly to the true north, thus removing the uncertainty of the easily affected magnetic needle; and a ship stabilizer which has already made rolling and pitching a thing of the past. He will tell of the application of these instruments and with the aid of lantern slides, moving pictures, and models, will show them in the process of construction and in actual operation...
...remained, however, for Mr. Elmer A. Sperry to so master the riddle of the spinning top that he could harness the earth till it should compell his gyroscope to swing into the meridian no matter in what direction it may have been initially, and thus make possible a non-magnetic compass. Such an instrument removes all uncertainly about the location of the north magnetic pole of the earth since it indicates always true north and depends upon the rotation of the earth as an astronomical body for its directive force. This is perhaps the latest vindication of the fact that...
With the greatly increased Republican majority in the Senate, the prospect of getting some kind of a league is greatly improved. There will be enough Democratic senators to offset the votes of the "irreconcilables" and these gentlemen can be mustered for a non-partisan settlement, if those who say they are for a league are really...
...Thirty-four thousand were handed in to the H. A. A. by men connected with the University, while 57,000 were turned into the Y. A. A. by Yale men. As only 74,000 seats are available, the H. A. A. has announced that it cannot fill applications for non-personal use, applications made by former members of the University who were here less than two years, or applications that were sent in late. In addition many of the graduates will receive only two tickets instead of three. The H. A. A. will mail the necessary refunds and notices within...
...classes comes without the necessary sixty per cent vote being cast, in spite of numerous exhortations and appeals to class spirit, there is gradually coming over the College a realization that there is something wrong in our present system. This has found expression in two ways,-a condemnation of non-voters by their more enthusiastic (or perhaps only more conscientious) class-mates, and a naive reply of "Why should we vote when do don't know for whom we are voting...
