...night last week a little brown-haired woman, shy and mild of manner, went quietly to her bed in a small private room inside the locked doors and barred windows of the Arizona State Hospital for the insane. Not till 11 o'clock next morning did attendants jerk down the covers to see why 34-year-old Winnie Ruth Judd wasn't up & about.

Highlights of last week's convention of the National Academy of Sciences at Brown University (Providence, R. I.): Totipotency.

Just how this marvelously convenient process of regeneration in lower animals works, no one knows. One theory is that their bodies contain undifferentiated, "totipotent" cells capable of growing into any organ under some unexplained architectural guidance. Professor James Walter Wilson of Brown University hazarded the guess that higher animals, perhaps even man, may harbor these cells...
Duly announced by posters and all that sort of thing, we find that Stan Brown and his band have been signed by Dunster House for their dance a week from tomorrow. This is something I'm glad to sec. because Stan besides having a very good band, has a Harvard band; and it's about time we got ourselves a little really decent jazz. Every big Midwestern school has at least one good band, and even Yale has creditable imitations of one. So with drum majorettes and stuff, it would seem as if the old place is taking life...
