rJiJwL^P x- n * To PROFESSOR CHARLES W. LARNED This Book is respectfully dedicated by the Corps of Cadets as a token of its esteem EDITED 1904 BV THE NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FOUR M O W I T Z E R BOARD TMtt «L-i_IOXT PRK8K CZJCZ^T i <s N igP TO- SV 1.^ -TI1t-lQOf\P5-^ "ANh-ALL-ITiOl AN!i;v| ())\-' - rf^orr^rv'crj ArvA rAbt • j I II9JD4- n LJ uu UL3 CCORDING to the long standing custom, so old that "the memory A of man runneth not to the contrary." a preface to a book usually takes the form of an apology for its existence. This is certainly the conclusion we have come to after carefully reading during four years the numerous "specially prepared" volumes of balderdash passing incognito as textdx>oks. For this reason we have finally decided on a new departure, in presenting a hook which would he able to stand 011 its own legs, as it were, without the support of a quibbling, apologetic preface. Still this hook has a purpose—a purpose which to many of us now is perhaps not even superficially apparent. Four years ago we mack' our appearance here on the eve of a great revolution. Everything was hanging in suspense, even the clock in the guard house stood still, waiting for a move which was sure to come. There were rumors, mutterings, vibrations, everything was a-quiver. Suddenly the storm broke—and—1<;°4 was caught in the deluge. Of those days much has keen written, more spoken, hut only [904 knows the quantity of gray matter that was expended in thought. We were the victims both before and after. We were the ones who were charged year after year by each graduating class to keep up the old spirit in the corps. Now we stand alone, our work is about finished. And you ask the question: "Have we suc­ ceeded?" Your answer is in the corps right now. The corridors of time are always open to the doubting. The comparison in some cases may he odious but surely convincing. To keep alive in our memory those days of restraint and transition is the purpose of this hook. To some of us it will bring pleasant reminiscences made mellow by the magic touch of time—to others only grim reminders of toil and labor whose sting has been softened because they are part of the past. Our future is not a cloudless sky. but even if cloudy, we have the halm in knowing that at least a few of those fleecy clouds in that chimerical azure blue beyond must have a silver lining. We leave, hoping that the good-will and friendship existing between the different classes is as ripe and sincere as it has been pleasant to us. 11 Perhaps as you turn these pages you will find many things omitted—per­ haps many have been inserted that should have been omitted. However that may he. do not attribute it to the lack of material to work with, on one side, or to the absence of the Editors' blue pencil, on the other. ( >ur one aim has been to portray every scene as it actually existed and appealed to us. If this book succeeds in this, it will not grow yellow with age in vain. In conclusion., let it be understood that this book is not the work of a few men. It would have had an untimely death but for the hearty co-operation of every member of the class of 1904, to whom all thanks are due. 12 BOARD °f VI5ITDR5 JUNE, 1903 Appointed by tin' President of the United States I.

    22 TIGHTBEAM Those multiple points of connection—and favorites—indicate the show’s position of preference in popular culture, and Tennant said he’s consistently surprised by how Doctor Who fandom and awareness has spread internationally—despite its British beginnings. “Doctor Who is part of the cultural furniture in the UK,” he said. “It’s something that’s uniquely British, that Britain is proud of, and that the British are fascinated by.” Now, when Tennant is recognized in public, he can determine how much a fan of the show the person is based on what they say to him. “If someone says, ‘Allons-y!’ chances are they’re a fan,” he said. Most people say something like, “Where’s your Tardis?” or “Aren’t you going to fix that with your sonic screwdriver?” There might be one thing that all fans can agree on. Perhaps—as Tennant quipped—Doctor Who Day, Nov. 23 (which marks the airing of the first episode, “An Unearthly Child”) should be a national holiday. Regardless of what nation—or planet—you call home.

By pursuing research relating to the medical aspects of flight, USAFSAM has provided pilots and astronauts with the necessary equipment and support to ensure their overall safety and health. In 1926, Brooks Field began its first association with the School of Aviation Medicine (SAM) when it moved from New York in order to support the Primary Flying School at Brooks Field. While stationed there from 1926 to 1931, the school trained flight surgeons as well as performed cadet physical examinations. SAM's brief but important tenure at Brooks Field served as a vital step in the development of aviation medicine and its contributions to pilot safety and training. In 1959, SAM again was relocated to Brooks AFB as part of an Air Force plan to concentrate its aerospace medical research facilities at one location.

    Science and Fiction Series Editors Mark Alpert Philip Ball Gregory Benford Michael Brotherton Victor Callaghan Amnon H Eden Nick Kanas Geoffrey Landis Rudy Rucker Dirk Schulze-Makuch Rüdiger Vaas Ulrich Walter Stephen Webb Science and Fiction – A Springer Series This collection of entertaining and thought-provoking books will appeal equally to science buffs, scientists and science-fiction fans. It was born out of the recognition that scientific discovery and the creation of plausible fictional scenarios are often two sides of the same coin. Each relies on an understanding of the way the world works, coupled with the imaginative ability to invent new or alternative explanations—and even other worlds. Authored by practicing scientists as well as writers of hard science fiction, these books explore and exploit the borderlands between accepted science and its fictional counterpart. Uncovering mutual influences, promoting fruitful interaction, narrating and analyzing fictional scenarios, together they serve as a reac- tion vessel for inspired new ideas in science, technology, and beyond. Whether fiction, fact, or forever undecidable: the Springer Series “Science and Fiction” intends to go where no one has gone before! Its largely non-technical books take several different approaches. Journey with their authors as they • Indulge in science speculation – describing intriguing, plausible yet unproven ideas; • Exploit science fiction for educational purposes and as a means of promot- ing critical thinking; • Explore the interplay of science and science fiction – throughout the his- tory of the genre and looking ahead; • Delve into related topics including, but not limited to: science as a creative process, the limits of science, interplay of literature and knowledge; • Tell fictional short stories built around well-defined scientific ideas, with a supplement summarizing the science underlying the plot.
