Frederick Simonds Hammett, Philadelphia biochemist who has studied tissue growth for eleven years, decided after experiments on more than a million nuclei of tissue cells that a sulphur compound was directly responsible for tissue growth, that another sulphur compound was responsible for stagnation of tissue growth which comes with old age. His principle is universal, holds in the vegetable as well as in the animal kingdom...
...discovery, result of pure biological research, was put to test in a Philadelphia hospital. It was found that bed sores, ulcers, when treated with a simple sulphur compound, healed quickly. Only a few days, stated Dr. Hammett, were necessary to cure an ulcer on a Philadelphia bootlegger's foot. Brilliant are the possibilities suggested by this theory. Possibly, predicted some, it may solve the most mysterious of life processes...
...little calculation of a basis of compound interest reveals that even by depositing funds in a savings bank at 4 per cent, compounded quarterly, we could have $50,000 in twenty-five years by raising about $19,000 now. Five per cent compounded annually gives a requirement of less than $15,000 now. Assuming the larger amount the share of one of the 580 members of the class would be about...
Every dollar contributed to the Fund by a member of the Class of 1950 during the next twenty five years will automatically be credited at compound interest to the gift of $150,000 which, by tradition, the Class will present to the College on its twenty-fifth anniversary. It is important to remember that money given now, under compound interest, will more than double...
