Several pages are devoted to the retiring President's administration here. This section includes several pictures of him which have not been hitherto released. In a short article commenting on the selection of Dr. Conant for the Presidency, the following comments are made...

Until very recently almost all chemists have studied reactions using water as the solvent but Conant has found that hitherto obscure reactions are brought to light when either or some other substance is substituted for water. One of the problems which has interested him in this connection has been the study of the blue pigment in the blood of horseshoe crabs...

The use of three last week, strategically placed, was what distributed the sound as though the players were on the stage, gave what engineers called "auditory perspective." The filters and amplifiers, which Stokowski manipulated, brought out the faintest whispers of the violins as they never have been brought out before. The climaxes, louder than any orchestra could have achieved unaided, were almost deafening but they were not distorted. Offstage singing was also reproduced, with force and clarity...
