10 VALE ALUN W HheKLY The Honor to Doctor Day. The many friends in the University of Dr. Arthur L. Day, Yale ’92, will be gratified to learn that he has been ap- pointed one of the corps of twelve physicists at the Physikalisch-Tech- nische Reichsanstalt at Charlottenburg, Dr. Day is the first American to re- ceive this honor. At graduation Dr. Day was appointed John Sloane Fellow in Physics and As- DR. A. L. DAY, 92. sistant in the Sloane Laboratory. He received the Doctor’s degree in ’94, and was immediately appointed Instructor in Physics for a term of three years. _As a teacher he showed very unusual ability. Resigning his position here for further study abroad, last October he went to Berlin and secured an ap- pointment in the Reichsanstalt as Presi- dent Kohlrausch’s private assistant; on May first of this year he was elected one of the premanent staff. The Reichsanstalt is maintained by the German Government and, in some respects, is like our Smithsonian In- stitute at Washington. As indicated by its name the work of the Anstalt is divided into two main- departments. In the technical department are kept the government standards of weights. measures, thermometers, electrical standards, etc. The government main- tains here fifty experts whose duties are to perfect apparatus for measure- ments of all physical quantities and the maintenance of the standards. Any in- stitution or manufacturer of physical apparatus may send their instruments here to be tested and compared with the government standards. It is recog- nized among physicists that the methods and resources of this institution are superior to anything in the world. he physical department is sub- divided into four sections for research work: Heat, Electricity, Magnetism and Thermometry. Every experiment has a separate room where all condi- tions are made most favorable. In this laboratory, where the methods and equipment are superior, it is not sur- prising that so much good work is done. Among the staff of twelve physicists are Prof. Holborn and several others who are widely known by their published works. Dr. Day at present is working with Prof. Holborn in in- vestigating methods for accurately registering very high and very low temperatures. When completed their results will probably appear in Wiede- mann’s Annalen. President Kolrausch, the successor of Helmholtz, is at the head of the insti- tution. He has a mind wonderfully re- sourceful in overcoming experimental difficulties. There are no students at the Anstalt and the government pro- vides most liberally for all its needs. The Connecticut Board of Health has issued a final order, forbidding all boating on Lake Whitney above the second bridge, and have charged the New Haven Water Company to en- force the rule. This will in no way hinder either the Spring or Fall re- gattas, as the entire course for the scrub and class races lies below the second bridge. THE OLD RELIABLE PARKER GUN HAS NO RIVAL! 1!
