...instance," he declared, "it is possible to go more than 500 miles farther north on the Atlantic side than on the Pacific, due to the fact that the Gulf Stream penetrates much farther north than does the Japan Current in the Pacific, and as a result the open water extends much nearer the Pole. For this reason it means nothing to ask an Arctic explorer how far north he has been...
There is also the consideration that a dreadnought, owing to the perfection of submarine and aerial development, is no longer the invulnerable leviathan that once it was. Money expended on a big ship without providing it with the neccssary defensive air and water compartments is money thrown away. It would be better, under present conditions, to stop wasting money on thirty million dollar ships, and round out the aeroplane and submarine fleets; a little of the new, and not so much of the near-obsolete should be given attention. Such a course would not only be economical, but it would...

...selected to suit the student's needs, and is supervised so as to make the short time equivalent to much more than might be expected. Furthermore, the alternate exposure to theory and practice accelerates the process of learning much as the alternate exposure of iron to air and water accelerates the process of rust formation.

There will be no more regular crew work this fall but Coach Nickalls plans to keep ten crews on the water as long as the weather will permit. There will be four university, four freshman and two 150-pound crews in action from now on. Coach Nickalls has three men from last year's University crew and numerous promising men from the 1923 and 1922 crews. The three veterans...
