...recapitalization plan launched soon after Pierce-Arrow was segregated from Studebaker (TIME, Sept. 4), both of these old issues are exchangeable for a single new issue of Pierce-Arrow common-but in different ratios. The holder of one share of old preferred will receive 3.2* of new common; the holder of one share of old Class A will receive one-tenth of a share of new common. Thus in terms of new stock the old preferred is theoretically worth 32 times as much as the old Class...
...first half of the course is gravimetrie analysis, including the collecting and weighing of many precipitates. The student learns how to standardize weights, and how to get results which will check to one-tenth of one per cent. Nine-tenths of the work of the course is in the laboratory, the lectures being merely for the purpose of giving the procedure to be followed in the laboratory. It is here that the first criticism could perhaps be applied to the conduct of the course. With hours for work as limited as they are in Mallinckrodt, it often seems that...
Proud of their Pacifism, several score undergraduates at Toronto's co-educational Victoria University pinned white feathers on themselves last week, swarmed to a meeting of approximately one-tenth the student body...
...surprising that in a prolonged depression like the present there should be a revival of talk concerning the financial burden imposed upon the city of Cambridge by the presence of educational institutions with large amounts of tax-exempt property. The proposal that Harvard and M.I.T professors should contribute one-tenth of their salaries towards the cost of city government in lion of taxes upon the property of those institutions was perhaps suggested by the "voluntary" contributions already collected from Cambridge public school-teachers and other city employees. Such a proposal, however, in turn evokes other suggestions. One is that...
...One of the puffs from the first explosion is the Milky Way, in which Earth is a fleck of Sun-warmed soot. Other puffs are nebulae traveling 12,000 miles a second. Cosmic rays include flashes of light (Millikan photons) from that explosion, and chips of matter (Compton electrons and/or protons; TIME, Jan. 9). They equal one-tenth the light from all the stars and weigh (Millikan calculation) 10 -34 gram per cubic centimeter.* Mount Wilson's Astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble estimates the total amount of matter in space as 10 -31 gram per cubic centimeter. Cosmic radiation thus...
