...flight didn't prove a thing. No stunt flying does. It is silly to say that such flights are made to develop aviation. No flyer would use an experimental device on such a trip. Only the equipment already proved sound is acceptable to a long distance flyer. We didn't advance the mechanics of aviation an inch...
...hardly necessary to set forth in detail here all the reasons why students should select this voluntary course. Many of them are axiomatic and self-evident. Whatever else the purposes of a college education may be, one of them is to develop the reasoning powers of the student. To learn how to think, and to think accurately and rapidly, is one of the hardest tasks in the world, so says a writer on debating, while to expound the conclusions of one's thinking to an untrained audience so clearly that the audience understands the speaker's point of view...
...course for distribution among the students taking it. At that time we reviewed the lecture situation at Princeton and sought to establish the desirability of such a reform as that initiated by Professor Vaughan. It was our contention that the ideal of the Princeton lecture-precept system was to develop the student's faculty of interpreting and associating the basic text-book data of a course, that this ideal was not being subserved under present conditions, when in many cases lectures are merely concentrated doses of factual information, and that in consequence a remedy should be worked out along...

In general, Radio pictures will, for the future, be made at a lower than average (for Hollywood) cost. The Selznick idea is to develop stars rather than buy them ready made; to recruit acting and directorial talent from the Manhattan stage; to hold down production costs by avoiding some of the most flagrant waste motion common and to some extent unavoidable in cinemanufacture. Knowing observers last week suspected that the competition from RKO which Hollywood...
Photographers who admire the work of Dr. Erich ("Candid Camera") Salomon (TIME, Nov. 9), realize with what enormous handicaps silky-whiskered Mathew Brady had to contend. In his jolting little wagon, with his enormous chicken coop of a camera, he had to coat his plates with collodion, expose and develop them before they had time to dry. Minie balls crashed through his little developing wagon, his horses were killed, hundreds of plates were smashed, yet he took troops in action, dead soldiers sprawled in the breastworks. He took Lincoln, Grant, most of the Federal generals of the war, and made...
