Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...may be blown into the lake, to be again handled by the waves and currents. But with an onshore wind the sand is swept in beyond the reach of the waves, accumulating in low mounds about any obstructions such as stones, bushes, or clumps of juniper. Thus started, the dune is sufficient cause for its own growth, for the passing sand is accumulated in the still air on its leeward side as fast as it is eroded from the windward side. It is a significant fact that dunes are much larger and much more extensively distributed on the east side of Lake Michigan than on the west, because the prevailing winds here are west winds, and the strong east winds on which the dunes of the west shore must depend for growth are prevailingly storm winds, accompanied by rain, which wets the beach and keeps the sand in place. On the east side of Lake Michigan, especially near its southern end, to which sand is eventually swept from the whole of the shore, the'dry west winds have heaped up great numbers of dunes, ranging in height up to 200 feet. In Dune Park, Indiana, the dunes may be seen moving inland across a forested area, burying and killing trees, and also moving off from previously buried forests, leaving the dead trunks as mere skeletons. A famous instance of dune migration is that of the Kurische Nehrung, a long sandbar off the north coatst of Germany, where a dune ridge within historic times marched over a church, burying it for 30 years, at the end of which time it was gradually uncovered. Dunes are limited in height by the great velocity of upper air currents, to about 200 feet. Their on-shore march is also limited by the fact that it is attended by the attrition of the sand and the scattering over a wider area. Dunes occur in the north shore district along the beach betw...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Extra-Curricula Activities and Academic Freedom, Vol. 6: March, 1922 (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Extra-Curricula Activities and Academic Free...)
Excerpt from Extra-Curricula Activities and Academic Freedom, Vol. 6: March, 1922 The Faculty of Clark University prepared the following statement regarding academic freedom in the University, and the regulation of certain extra-curricula activities of student organizations. This statement was unanimously adopted by the Faculty, approved by the President in representing the Administration, and approved also by the duly authorized representatives of the Graduate and Undergraduate Students of the University. It is their desire that this statement receive as wide publicity as possible. 1. The Faculty believes that the academic freedom of no member of the Clark Faculty has ever been trespassed upon and anticipitates no danger of any such trespass. 2. As concerns the conduct of classes and the invitation of speakers before classes and seminars, the responsibility should rest, as it always has, with the instructor concerned.

Career
Wallace Walter Atwood"s main contribution was his idea of Global Species Consolidation. He theorized that men follow a set path in their evolution. The first stage is Dispersion, which represents migration from a point of origin.
The second stage is Differentiation, which is an adaptation to the physical environment and also the creation of a new culture and language.
The third stage is Contact, in which different cultures come into contact for the first time and interact. Warfare and trade change the face of many cultures by forcing them into another language or set of customs.
The last stage is Consolidation, which means wide scale political and economic interaction between cultures. This is made possible by free trade agreements and regulatory institutions such as the United Nations. He graduated in 1897.
He was elected president of Clark University in 1920 and assumed that position until 1946.
On this occasion, he wrote the pamphlet Extra-Curricula activities and academic freedom. He also banned The Nation magazine from the Clark University campus. Walter Wallace Atwood was also president of the international film foundation, whose purpose was to centralize the production and distribution of pedagogical films.
He was elected president of the Worcester Economic Club from 1923 to 1924.
Mount Atwood is named after him.
