...broader discussion of the reasons for national rearmament came a new high-policy phrase: "Continental solidarity." The President confirmed the intimation previously voiced by Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles (TIME, Nov. 14): that one object of U. S. rearmament is to implement the good-neighborly understanding achieved in 1936 at the Pan-American Conference in Buenos Aires and about to be refreshed at Lima, Peru...
...however, it is conceived thusly, several modifications are necessary. The concentration fields for freshmen must be made much broader and more inclusive than are those which now exist for upper-classmen. Instead of division into narrowly specialized fields such as physics, all the experimental sciences could possibly be placed under a single heading; or history, government, and economics might feasibly be grouped together. By the aid of numerous excursions into these broader realms, the freshman would be able to choose more intelligently his place of permanent abode...
Self-styled a "national forum for problems of distribution," the Boston conference generally produces more concrete discussions than do broader conclaves like the International Management Congress. As a basis for this year's chief topic, the U. S. Chamber of Commerce submitted a history of the U. S. census of distribution of commodities by wholesale and retail merchants. Need for such a statistical breakdown was first felt in 1922. By 1925 a committee headed by Owen D. Young was at work on the idea. First nationwide census was made by the Bureau of the Census for the year...
...hand corner of the picture, making a thin, sketchy white track which is slightly curved owing to a strong magnetic field maintained across the chamber. Its energy is 10,000,000 electron-volts. It passes through a copper cylinder (left centre) and emerges below, much weaker and making a broader line. Its energy is now only 210,000 volts and so its path is more sharply bent by the magnetic field. After traveling about an inch more (to the right) it comes to a dead stop...
After concentrating in Engineering Sciences In the College, a man many earn his master's degree in one additional year in the Graduate School of Engineering, and will then be at least equal to the technical school graduate in technical education. From the broader education offered in a University, however, he is sure to have a broader outlook, both within his own field and outside of it. It is not likely that the engineering student hero will become narrow, for he has the opportunity, indeed almost the compulsion, of meeting students with other interests...
