...Lynn J. Carrel, Jr. of Norman, Oklahoma, and 1930 graduate of the University of Illinois will become the sales and promotion manager of the University Press effective Sunday, February...
Paris-born Scientist-Author du Noüy was at one time a member of the Rockefeller Institute, head of biophysics at the Pasteur Institute, a director of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes at the Sorbonne. As a young officer in the French Army, he met Biologist Alexis Carrel (Man, the Unknown), under whose influence he became deeply interested in biophysics. In 1937, he attracted international attention with his book Biological Time ("Everything occurs as if sidereal time flowed four times faster for a man of 50 than for a child...
When a big artery is severed, the parallel, subsidiary blood pipelines only rarely function well enough to prevent gangrene; in the war in Tunisia, gangrene developed in 70% of severed artery cases. The standard technique of sewing severed blood vessels together, devised by the late Dr. Alexis Carrel, is successful only 40% of the time-under the best conditions.

Lord of Cornell University medical school found a new way of welding broken arteries that succeeds...

Throughout the occupation Carrel had plenty of money for research under the big Fondation Franfaise Pour L'Etude Des Probleèmes Humains, created for him by Vichy. Last week Carrel declared that his foundation had concerned itself exclusively with scientific studies inspired by his Man the Unknown. But top-rank scientists charged that the foundation had a distinctly pro-Nazi tinge, that its subsidized sociological studies had served as a front for researches in "racism." After Paris...
