For the first time young sinners went to him trusting instead of fearing, and the Dean's office became less a death cell and more a source of friendly counsel. He clasped the House plan to his heart and brought up Dunster with the care and patience of a successful father. Without him and Professor Coolidge a difficult educational experiment might easily have failed. His many executive contributions to the University, in addition to his fame as a teacher, place Professor Greenough alongside...
...sake of knowledge, experimental biologists tweak the nose of Nature by causing plants and animals to produce offspring without proper parentage. Tadpoles have been coaxed out of unfertilized frogs' eggs; live, healthy rabbits have been born after a conception which took place m a_ glass vessel; cell fragments of sea urchin eggs-fragments not even containing the female nucleus-have been fertilized with hypertonic sea water.

Dr. Sperti therefore decided that he had come upon a general phenomenon associated with cell injury. Since one effect of the hormone was to multiply cells rapidly, it seemed possible that unknown hormones of the same type might be the cause of the unhealthy cell proliferation which constitutes cancer. But since the fluid from radiated yeast brought about normal, not abnormal cell proliferation, the prospect arose of using...
