...short appraisal which Professor Palmer once wrote of William James, he affectionately referred to the gusto and positive character of his colleague with the words "James always Wallowed." The phrase, as a glance at his "Autobiography" will reveal, describes the exact opposite of Professor Palmer himself. His interests and character were remote from the contemporary scene, centering on the poet George Herbert, for whom he was named, on classical literature; and, alone perhaps among his contemporaries, in the more traditional aspects of philosophy. He brought to the work of teaching a faith in the critical approach which was both classical...
...plot. That it includes scenes "in the living room of Miss Caroline Porter's House," on board the S. S. Iambic (which provides opportunity for a pirate scene) and a Paris cabaret gives sufficient hint as to its nature. W. F. Draper '35 takes the feminine lead with admirable gusto. His blitheness and litheness put the local vanities and ventures in the shade. Between the acts it was embarrassingly difficult to distinguish between the genuine debs in the audience and the members of the chorus who were wandering around the halls. A piano specialty was perfectly executed, but more familiar...
...League Committee of 19 (TIME, Feb. 27), recommendations which include withdrawal of Japanese troops from territory they have seized and nonrecognition by League countries of Japan's puppet state, "Manchukuo." Before a vote was taken Chinese Chief Delegate Dr. W. W. Yen accepted the recommendations with gusto, heard Japan's Matsuoka reject them with fierce eloquence: ''Manchuria belongs to us by right! Read your history. We recovered it from Russia! We made it what it is today!" Suddenly and significantly up popped Foreign Minister Dr. Zaunius of Lithuania...
...droll little mite is the leucocyte, scooting here & there, sending out inquisitive pseudopodia (prolongations) as does the amoeba. Policeman of the blood stream, it scavenges waste, destroys certain bacteria, ignoring some and gobbling others with gusto. Pus is compounded of dead bacteria, dead leucocytes. It is well known that the leucocyte count is high in infancy and old age, decreasing in between. Massage, exercise, eating proteins increase it; fasting lowers it. In such infections as pneumonia and appendicitis the white cells rush to the defense of the infected tissue, are replaced by peculiar polymorphonuclear-neutrophile cells, called "band-form" from...
...poets superlative erotic and philosophical work. Professor Parry, Dr. Chase, Mr. Richards, and Mr. Westgate, are all well fitted to introduce the diffident Freshman and the difficult Sophomore to the delights of the golden age of Roman poetry. Professor Parry does, perhaps, the best work, because of the tremendous gusto which he evidently takes in the masterpieces which he expounds. Mr. Westgate does the worst teaching, which is still speaking very highly of him, because he spends too much time on the first assignments, and often finds it necessary to cover too much ground just before exams...
