...continued, "constant changes in the very nature of academic learning may account for this loss of contact. We are in an age of specialization. Nowadays, speaking generally, the most advanced students are interested in rather narrow limited fields. Great scholars such as Copeland, Kittredge, and Lowes, who have studied in many fields of learning are the exception, and surprise the world. However, I feel that there are as many geniuses in scholastic pursuits as there have ever been; it is only that they are of a slightly different order...
...balance its budget on this year's program, to make the stringent economies which such a policy would necessitate. Such retrenchments, they feel, would tend to reduce the overemphasis on athletics, and moreover the importance of the coach. A man's independence they claim, is not improved by constant supervision.

Typical shot: Gable-whose animal appeal is abated somewhat by a constant sucking at his teeth-persuading Miss Lombard to climb a ladder in her library so that he can admire her from below...
...engineers are the Industry's prime-movers ; only constant change will appease them. None of the automotive technologists is well known to the public or cares to be. But the one most people know about is one whose whole approach to engineering is based on his credo of "change" supplemented by a belief that nothing can be taken for granted, that "A man must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere with progressive things." He is a tall lank man who has been found to resemble both Ichabod Crane and Abraham Lincoln. He is Charles Franklin...
