While the report, naturally enough, is concerned primarily with the City's interests, several pages are devoted to the question of finding an alternate location for the Tenth House. The Board suggests that the House be built on four blocks lying north and east of Dunster House and Leverett Towers. According to a table in the report, Harvard already owns 38 per cent of this property, and Cambridge holds another 17 per cent. If Harvard rejects offers of dormitory space from the other MTA bidders, the Board says, the City should consider seizing the rest of the land and giving...
...huge orange fans crowning Holyoke Center have now been covered with a box which hangs out over the east wall. Yet anyone who doubts that the fans are still whirring away, should take the elevator to the tenth floor some time.

...heart of the instrument is a tiny square "thermistor," one-tenth of a millimeter on a side, small than a pin head, and attached to two hairlike platinum wires. The electrical resistance of the thermistor changes in response to tiny fluctuations in temperature. Special filters allow only a very narrow band of the infrared, between eight and 14 microns, to fall on the thermistor. The filter rejects the shorter infrared waves omitted by the sun and reflected by the moon. The earth's atmosphere, where water vapor, ozone and carbon dioxide absorb other portions of the infrared, also acts...
