Coolidge Tube. In x-ray tubes the electrons popping from the cathode are imprisoned within the tubes. How to get them outside became a problem for scientists. Philip Lenard, Nobel prizewinner for 1905 and now professor at the University of Heidelberg, solved it by placing a thin aluminum "window," one eighth of an inch in diameter, at one end of a tube. Electrons passed through it, but feebly. He used only 30,000 volts of electricity...

Janet Gaynor (seen in Seventh Heaven) contributes a pathetic beauty to the role of the girl-wife. The Student Prince has had other incarnations. First it was the play Old Heidelberg, in which Richard Mansfield appeared; then an operetta, produced by the Shuberts. Now it is a film in which Ramon Novarro and Norma Shearer are directed by Ernst Lubitsch, whom most people recognize as the foremost master of cinema comedy and point to as a particularly baffling example...

But one day his blackboard bore a note: "No class today. I've gone to war." He had met Rudyard Kipling at sea. Twenty years later he had renounced war, rebuked Kipling...
