He says he had to take a bust from corporal to buck private when he switched over to Yank, but he came out of the war a staff sergeant, so he's happy about the whole thing. A Reasonable Reason A friend of ours works for an outfit which recently sent out a big batch of postcard questionnaires on the subject of the return of prohibition. Included among the cards which came back was one from a man in Baltimore who said that he drinks beer, wine and hard liquors both at home and in bars, but that nonetheless he favors the return of prohibition. His reason for these seemingly conflicting views was briefly but fully outlined in a notation on the bottom of his card.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

  • Introduction
    Introduction stablished in 1872, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences currently grants degrees in 57 departments, divisions, and committees in the humanities, natural sciences, and Esocial sciences. Individual programs determine the admissions standards and require- ments appropriate to their respective fields. This book outlines those requisites to obtaining a higher degree, along with the current research interests of faculty members. Most programs admit graduate students with the assump- tion that the master’s degree is conferred in the process of pursuing the doctorate. Please see the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Application and Guide to Admission and Financial Aid for those departments that offer admission for the terminal master’s degree. The Harvard Integrated Life Sciences (HILS) is a federation of programs, departments, and subject areas that oversees all PhD education in the life sciences, and integrates 12 life sciences graduate programs and subject areas across four Harvard faculties: the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the School of Dental Medicine, the Medical School, and the School of Public Health. The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), a School within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), offers doctoral and master’s degree programs that lie at the interfaces of engineering, the applied sciences (from biology to physics), and technology. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences allows for the establishment of special ad hoc PhD programs when a student’s approved program extends beyond the academic discipline of a single department. Each ad hoc committee ordinarily consists of four faculty members, three of whom must be members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, representing at least two estab- lished departments.
