...outstanding. Grant Mitchell, in the role of Walter Fairchild, the advertising man around the results of whose second marriage the plot turns, gives, perhaps, a greater appearance of absolute naturalness, than any of the others. As an example of the solid citizen, not very intellectual but with a certain amount of native wit, kind-hearted and at times understanding to a degree which surprises one without it being improbable, the presentation is excellent. Mayo Methot as Florence Wendell--later Mrs. Fairchild--is scarcely less good, and, moreover, is exceptionally lovely to look at. And Mrs. Jacques Martin...
...Governing Board of the Union, it is evident that this new system will make it possible to increase the efficiency in management. The fault of the present practice is not with the Graduate Secretaries, but with their other activities, which necessarily prevent them from devoting a sufficient amount of their time to the affairs of the Union. The new manager will be confined to one field, and will thus be able to be of greater use in his position. The traditions of the past may be destroyed but the increasing demands of management entirely justify this action of the Board...
...essential electrical properties of these ionized gas films. With this information, we have been able to determine from simple power measurements on a cable just how much power is being lost as ionization in the destructive air films. Naturally, the life of the cable is associated with the amount of this loss. Experiments have shown that cables which have the highest value of this ionization loss also appear to be the poorest cables. A paper on this subject was presented at the last Midwinter Convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in New York...
...contrast with the great use made of the advisory body in the fall, only a handful of Freshmen last year turned to the committee for aid in electing a field of concentration. That this slight interest from the advisees justifies the amount of time spent by the committee in keeping office hours is extremely doubtful. By spring the Freshmen are acclimated to the situation and are well equipped to secure information on the question of concentration...
...many of these courses, such as Comparative Literature 11, a thesis is still required of those Seniors who are candidates for degrees with distinction, and as a result are spending a large amount of their time on theses in their special field. With both of these falling due within a period of approximately two weeks the Senior inevitably turns from his larger work to fulfill the course requirement in the easiest and most rapid manner possible. This can hardly be of any great value to the student doing such work, or to the professor demanding...
