...world's leading small-star fancier. Last week he was beaming over the smallest star yet discovered: a "white dwarf," 25 light years away from the earth, which he found and analyzed with the help of Dr. E. F. Carpenter of the University of Arizona. The littlest star (Catalog No. L 886-6) is hot (15,000° to 20,000° F.), and it shines with a white light. But it is only 2,500 miles in diameter, not much larger than the moon...

A search through the modern catalog of courses reveals offerings from Greek Practice to Refrigeration, but the strength lies in the latter type of course. There is no course in Mongolian, nor is there a Seminar in Finnegan's Wake. But there is economics of the Household, and Tool Engineering...
