New York Times 100 years ago today, October 7, 1912:
Prof. Schmidt Warns Us of an Encroaching Ice Age.
    ITHACA, N. Y., Oct. 6.— According to Nathaniel Schmidt, one of the history professors at Cornell University, we are now living in an inter-glacial period, and mankind will some day have need of all its knowledge and science to combat the perils of encroaching ice.
    Prof. Schmidt refers to the records of discoveries of four distinct glacial periods in Switzerland, and to Prof. Winchell's discoveries in Kansas as proving that glacial periods were contemporaneous on both hemispheres.
