Berkeley's salubrious beginnings were not to everyone's taste. Politicians complained that it neglected such useful arts as carpentry and blacksmithing. But it had the enormous defense of constitutional autonomy. The regents were also temporarily tamed by tempestuous President (1899-1919) Benjamin Ide Wheeler, a white-mustached autocrat who wore cavalry boots and galloped about campus on a white charger. Wheeler unintentionally created another freedom. His highhanded ways provoked a faculty revolt in 1919 that established the strong Academic Senate...
Scientists have known for almost two centuries that plants, in one of nature's most mysterious processes, use sunlight to make sugar, fats and other high-energy chemicals out of water and carbon diox ide. They have known for more than one century that this vital food-making process-photosynthesis, the prime mover of life on eartn-is accompusned by chlorophyll, a strange, green substance whose molecule has a single atom of magnesium framed like a jewel in its center. Generations of chemists have tried to synthesize chlorophyll-and failed. But last week Harvard University announced that Professor Robert...
After being baffled by the play of Tufts' Leroy Haythorn and Henry Ide who scored their team's first eight points, the varsity tied the score on a layup by Bob Bowditch, then went ahead to stay on a free threw by Bry Danner. Two of the visitors' top scorers were burdened with three personal fouls early in the contest helping the Crimson to maintain a lead of between four and fourteen points...
...minute mark, the Crimson consistently gave away one bucket for two, including eight points by Borchard and six by Cuffe, and with 14 minutes gone, they led, 27 to 18, and Tufts called time-out. After two baskets, one a pretty spinning jumper from the keyhole by Ide, the Jumbos' 6 ft., 6 in. center, the Crimson's lead was shaved to 28 to 22. But a long jumper by Donahue and two free throws by Danner raised the margin...
After the half-time break, the varsity again pressed its advantage in marks-manship. Four points by Ide narrowed the Crimson's lead to 44-38, but a driving underhand layup by Borchard resulted in a three-point play at 2:25. Suddenly Bowditch found the mark and within three minutes threw in three beautiful jump shots from 25 feet out, giving the Crimson a 55-42 lead...
