NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two 79-foot wireless towers, mounted on either end of the roof of the New Geography Building on Divinity Avenue, have just been erected. Work was started on them last Thursday, after the two steel bases had been bolted to the bottom of the cement balustrade in the two east corners of the roof, at the north and south ends of the building.

The towers, which consist of four lightweight columns, strengthened by diagonal crosspieces, will support several different systems of antennae. After the apparatus has been connected with the receiving station that is already located in the building, it will be used to keep in communication with, and receive dispatches from any expeditions directly or indirectly connected with the University at any point in the world.

Beginning the second half year, a course will be given by the Geography School for graduates, to train men in radio communication. It will deal with the use of portable equipment for field stations in connection with the Harvard station.
