Maxwell Calls
Comet's Action
Disapponting
By IIOWTARD FENSTEMAKER
Cunningham's Comet, predicted by
astronomers to be the brightest in
three years when it passed the earth
during the last days of 1940, be-
haved in a very disappointing man-
ner, Prof. A. D. Maxwell of the as-
tronomy department declared yes-
terday.
Heralded as the most brilliant com-
et to appear. since Halley's Comet in-
vaded this part of the solar system
in 1910, it failed to live up to expec-
tations and attained a brilliance only
slightly above the naked-eye level.
Professor Maxwell explained that
two estimates of its probable bright-
ness had, been made, using laws,
known as the "inverse six power
law" and a more conservative "in-
verse four power law." When the
comet made its appearance, however,
it was found to be far below either
estimate.
Named for the astronomer who
discovered it last Sept. 5 at the Har-
vard College Observatory, Cunning-
ham's Comet has now passed into
the southern hemisphere, Professor
Maxwell commented. Since it is
now moving away from the earth, its
observation by astronomers below
the equator will probably be merely
routine, he added. The shape of the
comet's orbit is such that it will never
return.

In addition to the lectures and
general sessions are scheduled 121
forums listed under the main head-
ings "Pastoral Counseling", "The'
Church and Its Community", and
"Church and State". Each of these
forums will have a leader and willt
be based on a particular aspect of
the general heading.
Included on the roster of speakers
are Dr. J. M. M. Gray, former pres-
ident of the American University of
Washington, Dr. Walter W. Van Kirk.,
"A number of the objectives stated
in the Governor's recent messages
are commendable, and the present
legislature, many 'of whose members
are men of considerable legislative
experience, will no doubt support
some of these recommendations."
