Civilization, if any, in the year 6939, 5,001 years from now, will have the privilege of gazing at newsreels taken last November when Captain Russ Allen '38 and his mates defeated the Elis at Soldiers Field. The Westinghouse Company has sunk a time Capsule containing representative evidence of our contemporary culture 50 feet under the New York World's Fair grounds, and its contents include pictures of Jessie Owens at the Olympics. Howard Hughes' return, President Roosevelt at Gettysburg, and the Harvard-Yale grid contest.

Filled with nitrogen, the torpedo-shaped capsule will, according to Grover Whalen, remain until our progeny's progeny dig it up. They are to find out about it by straying across one of many Books of Records of the capsule which will be mailed next week to libraries all over the globe. There has been no comment as yet from New Haven.
