Professor Michelson Will Measure Velocity of Light in Vacuum
Former Experiments May Be Slightly Inaccurate, He
Says
Chicago.—Reflecting a beam of light back and forth ten times through a pipe a mile long, from when the air has been estimated, is the experiment performed by Prof. A. M. Michaelson, famous physician of the University of Chicago, Professor Michaelson son will be leaving tomorrow for Pasadena, California, where the experiment will be more closely used. He'll be more clever of the day.
His interest in the speed of light began forty-six years ago, while he was an instructor at the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. Two years later he moved to California and mentions along the same line which involved sending a beam of light from Mt. Wilson to a neighboring peak and back. These experiments showed that the beam was still traveling at the end, and gave the most accurate figure for it that has ever been obtained. But Professor Michelson is still not entirely satisfied. In a second, a beam of light might travel to much as more or less than 189,342 miles.
One possible way of getting increased accuracy is to increase the length of the path over which the light hits to travel. Last year he went on a trip to Germany to cope with a peak about a hundred miles away and back, but found that the air was no clear enough to get a satisfactory image. And determination in even mih of this kind, involve such actions as running, air pressure, and humidity.
In the mountain experiments the H. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey team made a series of tests with an accuracy of one part in a million. Though he does not question the accuracy of their survey, he did investigate factors that affect factors personally. With the use of the pipe he can do this with a steel tube to a very high degree of precision.
"I am well satisfied with the accuracy of the present figures of the speed of light," said Professor Michelsen today as he paused from the preparations for his trip, "but the vacuum may be enhanced in parts, in a million, not at any event, will serve as a check on the previous method."

Grand Toul Club, which included members from Lawrence and the University faculty. This group, desire of expanding their playing ground in Lawrence, designed a west of what is now Poole's Lake and gradually expanded the course into oceans, to a full tink-tink course. Expenses were paid by collecting small fees and by renting the townsepeople for pursuing cattle.
Later the land bought by the club was purchased by the University and was used as a public picnic ground. A group of boys, who gathered with gabfler who took his game seriously, since there was often grave danger of the hard sailing some unruffled pies on the ground, prohibited, and this caused persons whose golf was hung was injured by work during the week to forego the day's practice. The drawback to the enjoyment of the K. U. course was the increasing number of students who used the course every day. As a result, a campaign was started for the building of a golf course just out of town called "The Country Club was started."
The early day cool was hampered for lack of funds, and it is said that Professor Sterling and his sons would often mow the course when money ran out. The land west of the present location of the lake was rough and much brush,
long grass, and dog-weed (shiny sticks were cut from this shrub) grew to uprosion.
Tournaments were held in the Oread Club. First individual championships were sought and later team championships took place. Luxembourg and other towns tool place. One of the remaining trophies includes the names of two members of the Oread Golf Club as winners of Securitaires cup games in this early period.
The Oreed Club Championship cup includes the names of the following, in the year which they won the event: M. W. Sterling, 1909-10; Otto W. W. Steelman, 1911, L. W. Klinser, 1912; G. E. Funnell, 1915; Carl Anderson, 1914.
In 1915, the Country Club Links were established and golf as a feature of the University gradually became an institution began at the start of the fall semester, centering around a few golf enthusiasts who wished to have the opportunity to learn to run and mune with nature. Dr. James Naim-smith, one of the early instigators of the Country Club, was greatly and largely through his efforts, the plan for a University course became a reality. The first plan was that he would play the full side shot of the bill, since the south side looked a bit too rough, but the final decision was that if possible, an eight-hole hole

The laying out of the course was turned over to Clarence McGuire, c29, Boys Golf in the state amateur championship of Kansas in golf. McGuire worked during the summer of 1928 and found that he had no interest in playing. The course was ready for play in the fall of 28., though little playing occurred until intramural golf started.
