The primary is of the third magnitude; the first companion is of magnitude seven and a half, distance 2", p. 5°; the second, of the tenth magnitude, distance 45", p. 292°; and the third, of the tenth magnitude, distance 125", p. 350°. We should look at the double Sigma 616 with one of our larger apertures in order to determine for ourselves what the colors of the components are.
"I'd like to try for a scholarship, but how on earth would I support myself even if I were fortunate enough to win?" "Don't worry about that," said Grace quickly. "That is for that all-wise body, the Phi Sigma Tau, to consider. We will be your ways and means committee, Anna." "Oh, I couldn't think of weighing you girls down with my cares," replied Anne soberly. "I must work out my own salvation."
The magnitudes are four and five, distance 6.3", p. 300°. Colors, white or bluish-white and blue or green. Next take sigma, whose magnitudes are five and six, distance 4", p. 206°. With the five-inch we may look for a second companion of the tenth magnitude, distance 54", p. 88°. It is thought highly probable that sigma is a binary, but its period has simply been guessed at.
The majority, however, appeared to be highly delighted over what they heard, one group standing near one of the windows, of which Eleanor was the center, laughed so loudly that they were sent to their seats. Among the number to whom nothing was said were the members of the Phi Sigma Tau, and as the morning advanced they became fully aware that something unusual was in the wind.
As early as the second year of the college, five societies came into existence: of these, the Beethoven Society and the Microscopical which started with a membership of six and an exhibition under three microscopes at its first meeting seem to have been open to any who cared to join; the other three the Zeta Alpha and Phi Sigma societies founded in November, 1876, and the Shakespeare in January, 1877 were mutually exclusive.
Grace had at once invited the Phi Sigma Tau, and dispatched special delivery letters to Hippy, David and Reddy, not forgetting Tom Gray and Arnold Evans. In order to make an even number of boys and girls, Grace had invited James Gardiner, an Oakdale boy, and last of all, very reluctantly, had sent a note to Mr. Henry Hammond. This she had done solely to appease Marian Barber's wounded pride.
And the members of the Greek letter societies bear her in especial remembrance, for it was she who aided in the reestablishing in 1889 of the societies Phi Sigma and Zeta Alpha, which had been suppressed in 1880, under Miss Howard.
Sigma 2695 is a close double, magnitudes six and eight, distance 0.96", p. 78°. We turn to map No. 18, and, beginning at the western end of the constellation Aquarius, we find the variable T, which ranges between magnitudes seven and thirteen in a period of about two hundred and three days.
With the boys and the other members of the Phi Sigma Tau at home, too, there were more things to do and places to go than could possibly be squeezed into that brief space of time. Arline Thayer, who was a joyous, irrepressible spirit, announced with conviction that Oakdale was even nicer than New York.
Still retaining the five-inch in use, we may next turn to the other end of the Belt, where, just under zeta, we perceive the fourth-magnitude star sigma. He must be a person of indifferent mind who, after looking with unassisted eyes at the modest glimmering of this little star, can see it as the telescope reveals it without a thrill of wonder and a cry of pleasure.
