...House to permit other students to use the dining room and library to numbers in excess of the House capacity. It is even more unfair, however, for a group of men who have proved themselves scholastically eligible to be deprived of the many House privileges when sufficient vacancies exist. There is a solution to this perplexing problem. If these men were permitted to become associates of the Houses that have vacancies, in numbers equal only to these vacancies, and were given the use of the House dining room and library, they would gain advantages hitherto inaccessible to them...
...remarks, I suppose, were open to Mr. Anon.'s interpretation of them, but I scarcely thought anyone would be so gullible as to take them as seriously as he did. I grossly exaggerated, for effect, a lamentable condition which does exist. Molehill that my knowledge of literature is, in comparison to their mountainous fund, I have found that a good number of professors share my some what low opinion of the "Review's" criticism. They have found, as I have, a curious ratio in some cases between the amount of advertising of a book in the "Review" and the favorable...
...both sides of the visible light spectrum -up to 10,000 angstrom units on the infra-red range, down to 1,000 on the ultra-violet.* This point on the ultraviolet side is 2,000 units lower than in other ultramicroscopes. If organisms never seen by human eye do exist in the filtrable viruses of common colds and infantile paralysis, they might be detected by light of such short wavelength. Light of longer wavelength they escape as minnows escape a loose-meshed...

The powers of propaganda, organized industry, and science refine the fire of such combat to an intensity calculated to reduce the whole to a whiff of smoke and ashes. The largest nation left extant would be able to organize the world under one control, if it has been able to remain neutral. That this did not occur in the last "war" is due only to the fact that its battles, its slaughter, its campaigns...
There is no necessity to swell here the already monumental literature on the subtle antithesis between the academic and the "worldly" mind. But it may be worthwhile to recall that this difference does exist, and that it is of primary importance in estimating the validity of the objections to the N.R.A. new being borne by every little zophyr which wanders too close to the cloistered universities of the land. The outstanding facts, so often voiced, so rarely comprehended, of our period are that the growing rigidities, of our economic structure and the psychology which is at once its cause...
