...return Labrador has given them what I consider an invaluable gift--the gift a laboratory gives a chemist, or a good clinic gives a doctor. It has afforded a test field for the use of the talents of body, mind, and soul, for which their long and expensive education has been undertaken a fine opportunity of a field that, by its isolation and crude conditions, shows them the immense value to the world of being able to do things that contribute to life. Many have told me that in conventional civilization they had not seen the personal challenge of life...
Professor L. J. Henderson '98, the biological chemist who served last year as exchange professor to France, has returned and will resume his old courses. These include "History of the Physical and Biological Sciences", "General Biological Chemistry", and "Experimental Biological Chemistry." Mr. B. F. Dodge is giving the course on Chemical Engineering...
Here, it seems, is an opportunity for the chemical departments of our universities, as well as our industrial chemists, to do the country a great service. Our research workers are second to none; surely, among them, they can find means to cheapen the production of our present dyes to a point that will enable us to fight off our German rivals. Then, too, there is always the possibility of stumbling on some new compound that will revolutionize the industry. The prizes in the chemical field are large no one who works out a first-class process will ever go hungry...
...Since the war, however, only in exceptional cases has this policy been continued. There seems to be no valid reason, except perhaps the expense, for not keeping laboratories, like libraries, open until ten o'clock. Having access to his desk in the evening, the budding scientist,--the would-be chemist in particular,--would be free in the afternoon to air his genius on the field of sport. In that this project would enable an ever-increasing group of students to enjoy their share in the advantages of university life, the additional expenditure involved should be no great objection...
Harvard men who have for years shouted their praises of the Haughton system should consider the novel theory advanced by a chemist from Connecticut. Yale has lost its athletic supremacy, so this scientific man declares, because the soil of the State has become exhausted, and college men have for that reason become a race of less vitality. If the tribe of weaklings at New Haven is to prosper, farmers must grow alfalfa to get phosphate of lime into the milk. Lime and legumes, says the expert, will go far toward redeeming Yale's athletic prowess. Thus is the intricacy...
