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.
