...Joseph J. Thomson, headmaster of Trinity College, Cambridge, discoverer of the electron, and considered by many the greatest living physicist, is in the United States on an extended visit as the guest of Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. As guest of the Western Electric Company at luncheon in the Bell System laboratories, Sir Joseph saw in operation many applications of his fundamental theories and inventions. Among these was a water-cooled copper vacuum tube, devised by W. G. Housekeeper, with 40 times the capacity of the present glass-enclosed tube used in long-distance radio. This may shortly be installed...

And in addition it would point out the relationship between these phenomena and the phenomena of astronomy. "Science 2" would be concerned essentially with evolution, both of organic and inorganic substances. These are fields of so great importance and such large scope that the course could easily include as well the main principles of botany and zoology...
