This extension of so-called dimensional analysis, used for years in the design of turbines, ships, and airplanes, into the highly complicated region of the interaction of electrical potentials, is regarded as one of the most brilliant of Chaffee's accomplishments...
Similar in design to the Holland Tunnel -under the Hudson between lower Manhattan and Jersey City, completed in 1927 and this year used by 13,000,000 vehicles (at 50?& up)-the Lincoln Tunnel was started in 1934 and has cost about $43,000,000 to date. Unlike the two-tube Holland Tunnel, the Lincoln Tunnel has completed so far only one 21-ft. 6-in. tube, now carrying two-way traffic. The other will be finished in 1941, when each tube will carry one-way traffic. The completed structure lies under 20 feet of silt, 75 feet below...

Its Vitamin A capacity is 60 billion units a week. This output is expected to be trebled by two stills of improved design now under construction...

Concentration in the artistic phase of the drama need not be allowed, provided that men interested in stage design had the opportunity to obtain such instruction. The set-up might be patterned after that in the English Department, which provides courses in English Composition, but does not allow a man to concentrate in composition. The liberal approach of the Art Department, then, can be reconciled with the demand...
