Unique among the gifts presented to Harvard during the past month is the modest "Harvard et is France", published by the French committee for the celebration of the Tercentenary. Although each of the fifteen contributors to this recueil detudes", or miscellany, writes on a subject touching his own interests, all the essays are in some way concerned with Harvard and all the writers have had some connection with the University as visiting lecturers, exchange professors, students, or recipients of honorary degrees...
...personal exercise of the powers conferred upon him as Governor General will largely determine whether it proves to be liberal or repressive, whether it promotes greater harmony than ever before by establishing an Indian Federation, or rekindles the flames of "Civil Disobedience" and attempted insurrection (TIME, March 24, 1930 et seq.). With everything dependent on the Viceroy's personal success in winning Indians to ignore the malcontents who were urging them to boycott the first election under the new Constitution and make it unworkable, the Marquess of Linlithgow was not uttering a platitude but making a particularly crucial appeal...
...second, the acquisitive and stern "Richest Man in the World," His Exalted Highness, the also progressive and enlightened Nizam of Hyderabad; and third, the weak and pleasure-loving Prince who was the victimized "Mr. A" of a notorious blackmail case in England twelve years ago (TIME, Oct. 25, 1925 et ante), His Highness the polo-playing Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir.

Soon after, in 1927, Father Schulte raised some money, founded the Missionalium Vehiculorum Associatio or Missions-Verkchrs-Arbeitsgemeinschajt ("Missionary Communications Association"). Calling it MIVA for short, Father Schulte chose as its motto: Obmam Christo terra marique et in aera ("Toward Christ on land and sea and in the air"). In 1929 he made his first journey to the U. S. to raise more money. Finally the Pope himself gave unqualified approval...
...volt power, penetrating enough to reach any cancer within the human body. The principle of the machine is that of the 10,000,000-volt electrostatic generator which Engineer Trump's M. I. T. teacher, Robert J. Van de Graaff, invented (TIME, Dec. 4, 1933 et ante). Fast moving paper belts brush against an overhead metallic container which accumulates huge charges of electricity. In the Trump modification this electricity is poured into a tremendous x-ray tube which projects downward through the floor into the room below. At the nether end of the tube is a window of gold...
