Newspaper Clippings From the Past

By Tim Cowden

Two newspaper clippings dating back to 1910 and 1939 tell about a meteorite lecture and a new comet sighting in Bryan-College Station, TX. The comet article was printed in 1910 in The Houston Daily Post newspaper and describes a new comet that was seen in the skies over College Station, TX. The 1939 article, printed in The Battalion newspaper, tells about a meteorite lecture that will be presented by Oscar Monning in what was once the Petroleum-Geology building on the Texas A&M campus.
