...institution as large as Yale it seems impossible that there could exist between student and teacher a camaraderie other than occasioned by an all too rare intellectual affinity. It is a noticeable fact that transition between the preparatory school and that college has been accompanied by a similar change in the attitude of the Faculty towards its students. When contacts have been made they have generally emanated from sacrifice at the common altar of scholarship, but rarely at that of friendship, for friendship's sage alone.

Whereas in Russia it is commonplace, orthodox, respectable to speak of war as due "next year," or in a few months, Comrade Litvinov dared to suggest that Russia and the rest of the World can peacefully co-exist for a long, long time.

Henry Norris Russell (Princeton) reported spectographic discovery of seven solar compounds of hydrogen, four of oxygen, and three of other elements. Sun compounds are not stable as earth's. On earth an oxygen atom holds two hydrogen atoms and makes a molecule. On the sun the oxygen holds only one hydrogen atom, and they are ever ready to sunder...
