Years ago, I saw a copy of a Harvard Soils primer. It was a pamphlet put out by some Harvard students and made good sport of some of the conventions and tests for soils..I remember one particular discussion of a "disposable technician" triaxial soils test .....another showed the "simplification" of some calculation by means of an indecipherable "Chinese" character which was far more complex than the original.

I am wondering if anyone here ( old guys....) might have a copy of this booklet and would care to share it in a digital format.
 
I'd love to get a hold of a copy of that myself.
Here's one that the authors ran standard soil properties tests on a variety of food. Enjoy!
