Hrvard University has definitely,
entered the field of visual education
through the medium of motion pic-
tures. As a result of a contract be-
tween Harvard and Pathe Exchange,
Inc., of New York, the university will
prepare series of .pictures dealing
with different scientific subjects, to
be known as the Pathe Science
series.
Although these pictures are des-
tined primarily for university, col-
lege and school uses, they will be
appropriate for the theatre, the
church, the club and other social or-
"There was never better material
in the schools and colleges than at
the present time," declared Ernest
M. Hopkins, president of Dartmouth
college, in an address recently in
which he- strongly defended the qual-
ity of present day students and the
character and industry of present day
youth in general.
"There was never better education,
and never such a demand for more
education," he continued. "And that
demand is likely to increase."
Further praising youth, he said
that "There was never a generation
with more frankness, honesty, gen-
osity and, yes, earnestness than the
present. The nations which have
trodden entirely in the faith of their
fathers have had , sterile histories.
Thb question is not what the men of
pioneers' courage have said in the
past-the Washingtons-the Lincolns
-the Hamiltons - but what they
would say if they were with us to-
day."

MICHIGAN MEN PROMINENTj
Attending the meetings of the Geo-
logical Society of America almost in
full force, the geology department
spent Dec. 29, 30, and 31 in Cleveland.
Prof. William H. Hobbs, head of the
department, delivered a paper on "The
Glacial History of Southwest Green-
land," Prof. Ermine C. Case read a
paper on "New Triassic Vertebrates,"
and Prof. Lawrence M. Gould read a
paper on the "Geological Results of
the Putnam Baffin: Bay Expedition."
Professor Hobbs divided his time
between the Geological society meeting
at the Case School of Applied Science
in Cleveland, and the meeting of the
American Meteorological society at
Vanderbilt in Nashville. At the lat-
ter meeting he delivered a paper en-
titled "Some Meteorological Results
of the Second Greenland Expedition
of the University of Michigan."
Those of the department who were
present at Cleveland but did not speak
were: Prof. George M. Ehlers, Prof.
Charles W. Cook, Prof. Irving D. Scott,
Ralph L. Belknap, Fred M. Bullard,
and Maurits W. Senstius.

ganizations. The series, when com-
ple-ted, will be distributed through
Pathe's thirty-three branch ofrces alll
over the country. The first of the
series will be ready for distribution
January 30, 1928.
A Contract Signed
The contract, which extends over
a five-year period, was signed by
President A. Lawrence Lowell of
Harvard and Elwr Pearson, first
vice president of Pathe. Pathe has
also been cooperating with Yale Uni-
versity th-rough the distribution of
"Chronicles of America" series for
four years.
Only one branch of science, Aith-
ropology, the study of mankind, is
specifically mentioned in the con-
tract. However, the division of ge-
ology has also decided to participate
in this work and has a series of pic-
tures in the course of preparation.
Dr. Kittery F. Mather, of this division,
and Dr. Ernest A. Hooton, of the divi-t
sion of anthropology, are heading ai
committee which will supervise the
Dreparation of the pictures..
After representatives of the two
divisions have selected films whicha
they consider of value, graduate stu-1
dents will classify, cut, assemble and1
title the various pictures in the
series. A workshop has already been
set up in the Peabody Museum at'
Cambridge and twe graduate stu-1
dents in anthropology and one in
geology ,are already at work.I

In the late sixties, two men, C.
Latham Sholes and Carlos Glidden,
who had been working on an invention
that they called a "writing machine"
brought their work to a conclusion
and went in search of a buyer of their
product. That was the beginning of
the present day typewriter. In the
course of their peregrinations the two
men visited Gen. Anson Stager, presi-
dent of what was then known as the
Western Electric Manufacturing com-
pany. After a short negotiation a con-
tract with that company was drawn
up and manufacture of the new ma-
chines begun. That was the beginning
of their manufacture.
Yet,' just as the Western Electric
was setting to work on a "model of
the machine, its inventors, through
their enterpreneur, George Washing-
ton Yost, discovered that the arms
factory of E. Remington and Sons was
practically idle, due to the recent clos-
ing of the Franco-German war. Inas-
much as the arms factory could easily
be converted for the making of the
writing machine, an arrangement was
effected whereby that firm was to make
the machines and the Western Elec-
tric company was to sell them.
It was recognized that the model
of the "typewriter," as it had come to
be called, was far from perfect and
the Remingtons set out to make a new
one. In the autumn of 1875, this
model was completed and accepted as
