...into purely extra-curricular channels. However, taken in its broader light, one can read the beginning of the end of the fallacious system of entrance examinations and the dawning of a day when the general development of a student at his preparatory school will be accepted as a major factor in determining his fitness for admission. This day will undoubtedly come, and it can be safely forecast that the recent action of the Faculty Council has done much to speed the approach of that not too distant and highly desirable...
...Boston Herald: "The splendid Republican vote in Massachusetts should give heart to the entire country. So far as its personal bearing is concerned, I am deeply grateful for the confidence in me that it demonstrates. But I believe it reflects something of more significance than any personal factor...
...presence of well-known men actively engaged in government administration and business gave to the conference an atmosphere of basic practicality impossible to obtain in purely academic circles. The free and frank discussion, completely off the record, of present problems was not only strongly stimulating, but a vital factor in dissipating many a befogged undergraduate and academic idea. The frank disagreement and resulting argument of Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, Chairman of the TVA, and Wendell L. Wilkie, President of the Commonwealth and Southern Corporation at the same round table on government and industry; the expose of the New England hysteria...
...disease is far more prevalent among males than among females. The former, however, appear to survive more frequently the acute attack and also to live longer thereafter. In our experience prolonged nervous tension directly related to professional or business responsibility appears to be the most important single contributing factor. ' Added Manhattan's Drs. Master, Jaffe & Dack: "The ages of the patients studied ranged between 27 and 87 years. The average was 54 years, both for men and women. The average age of those who died was 57 years...
Some "giant molecules" of organic tissue are so long that, although their net charge is zero or nearly zero, the positive charge is concentrated at one end, the negative at the other end. The distance between them is a factor in the dipole moment, which is, roughly speaking, a measure of electric leverage. Dr. Cohn measured the charges and the dipole moments by observing molecular behavior under a bombardment of radio waves. If some stimulus discharged the positive tension at one end, the negative charge would redistribute itself, affecting other molecules. If these molecules twitched in response to the charge...
