...work out discoveries and inventions from which they privately derive profit and personal gain! Some discoveries must from their nature be patented, but they should not be handed over to individuals or institutions to enrich an individual or a corporation. Further, such taking out of patents discourages free interplay and cooperation between scientists and makes improvement and progress a difficult thing. No legal barrier should stand in the way of human welfare, scientific knowledge, or general enlightenment...
Marie Galante (Fox). One of the most exciting ways to tell a big story is to set in motion a little one which, as it develops, opens one window of the theme after another until from its narrow confines one sees the interplay of mighty offstage forces.

While thus making the work invaluable for reference purposes Mr. Willoughby has been able to avoid loading down his pages with dull statistics...

The illumination that comes from the interplay of imagination and practical experience needs to be merged with scientific methodology, rather after the fashion of the experiments Dr. Morton Prince '75, before more progress is to be anticipated. It is this that we are attempting to do. During the fall research has been centered about the problems...
