Graham and J. & L. got him fresh from Lehigh University in 1914. He once told his research staff that, instead of 200 bright ideas a year, he would rather have two ideas that worked.

If President Conant is still anxious for large numbers of Harvard men to be bathed in America's past, let the Program catch the Freshmen as they enter the Yard, fresh and eager to try their intellectual wings. Let the farcical Bliss Prizes be abolished and the money be given for the best Freshman essays on some phase of American civilization. This year's successful tie-up with English A can be extended to other Freshman courses, and will undoubtedly draw...

They arrived in Manhattan to sup at the house of a Lincoln student off Park Avenue. Next day, fresh-cheeked and inquisitive, they rode a subway to Wall Street, visited other business districts, the Aquarium, Bellevue Hospital (which awed them), Radio City, headquarters of the Consolidation (Rockefeller) Coal Co. (which owns some of their mines). In rapid succession during the next six days, pausing only to eat and take a few winks of sleep, Morgantown's children rode a tug around New York Harbor, where the girls hallooed at sailors on U. S. warships, inspected the Europa, bridges, power...

Last week at the Washington meeting of the National Academy of Sciences (see p. 65), Dr. Henry Borsook and associates* of the California Institute of Technology offered new hope to neural gia sufferers. The scientists knew that vitamin B 1 (anti-beriberi), which is found in yeast and fresh red meats, prevents nerve deterioration. On a hunch, they injected from ten to 100 mgm. of pure, synthetic vitamin B 1 directly into the veins of persons suffering from Tic Douloureux. The injection was repeated every day for six days a week. To the scientists' surprise, after several months...
