There came to light last week a letter revealing one of the cruelest tricks one civilized being could well play upon another. It was a letter left by the late Professor Paul Kammerer, famed biologist, who ascended a small hill near Vienna last month and shot himself. For a year the scientific world had reverberated with Professor Kammerer's report that, by experiment upon frogs, he had proved to his immensely critical satisfaction that acquired characteristics, such as the loss of an arm, blotches on the skin, could be passed from one generation to another. It was contrary...
Less scurrilous was the examination of Dr. Clarence Cook Little, president of the University of Michigan. With murderous sarcasm Dr. Little was found competent in respect to his athletic, religious and social qualities, but wanting in that he is a biologist, a "loud" approver of birth control and one who had "publicly declared that compared to Oxford, Harvard wasn't so much. . . ."

It is advanced with the prime intention of promoting study of the family, per se, through the biologist's lens. Consequently it is packed with orderly, unsensational, valuable facts-the cell- scientist's facts...
