...Plan of Approach...
With an examination of the Symposia, the plan and purpose of the three-fold approach became apparent. In the early days of university life, the heritage of classical antiquity and the medieval tradition of theology were guiding forces in education. Harvard itself was founded, as so many know, by the early settlers, "fearing to leave an illiterate ministry" to the churches. But a growth in the Humanities and the Sciences led scholars to diverse paths as the years passed, and men became more concerned with their separate fields than with the connection of these fields with one another...
...Treaty proposes to end the system of "capitulations" under which Britain, the U. S. and twelve other States have special extraterritorial rights for their citizens in Egypt. The British promised to approach the U. S. and other States, asking each to surrender these rights. It was also promised in the Treaty that Britain will urge at Geneva admission of Egypt to membership in the League of Nations...
Professor Elie Joseph Cartan of the University of Paris delivered an important paper on "The Extension of Tensor Analysis to Non-Affine Geometries." Speaking in French, bouncing with animation, gesturing with vehemence, this tanned, fox-bearded little man suggested a new mathematical approach to the great problem of a unified field theory which would embrace both the atom and the universe-a theory for which Professor Einstein has long been the No. i searcher. Roughly speaking, "non-affine" space is undistorted space. Dr. Cartan finds that some of the "vectors" with which Relativists play have a dual existence-in distorted...
...Howard took off from Wichita, was speeding over a Navajo reservation in New Mexico when Mister Mulligan's gas line broke. Out of control, the little white plane plummeted to the ground. Drawn by the crash, a number of Navajos ran up, edged uneasily about, not daring to approach the crumpled wreck-for superstitious reasons. After four hours one of them went for white rescuers. They found Maxine Howard with both legs broken, her husband with fractures of both legs, an arm and a brain concussion. Hospitalized, she soon gained strength while he lay close to death, deliriously babbling...
