...will come before the war. Twelve years has not been too long for some people to remember; it has not even been long enough for some to forget. Neither in this country nor in many of the continental nations of Europe which have experienced a great growth of education coeval with the growth of nationalistic impulse in the past decade, will the flower of the nation blindly fling themselves in the dust. Youth has lost his patriotism and gained in understanding. If there is martyrdom and dying for the country it will not be because of the glory...
Genetics, the study of life processes, had two good and separate hours in the news last week. At Cold Spring Harbor, L. I., the Carnegie Institution of Washington conducted a genetics display to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its own incorporation and the coeval establishment of its Departments of Genetics.

Before then there were no great stadia and no series of home and home games...

In view of the fact that the exercise of Harvard's degree-granting function antedates the State of Massachusetts by one hundred and thirty-two years, and was practically coeval with the Massachusetts Bay colony itself, the Attorney General's opinion can hardly be classed with the epoch-making instruments of American history. As a matter of sober historical fact, the power of Harvard to grant degrees may be regarded as resting on foundations quite as firm as those...
