Beat the Enemy. Spotted as an administrator by M.I.T.'s late President Karl T. Compton, he was appointed M.I.T.'s assistant to the president (1939), executive vice president (1943) and vice president (1945) during the World War 11 years in which M.I.T.'s staff of scientists and engineers rose from 700 to more than 6,000.

Once dead, one cannot regenerate oneself, even inwardly...
...tight-money market, banks and lending institutions have increasingly passed up FHA-backed loans to get the higher interest rates on unguaranteed mortgages. This has made it harder for many would-be buyers who were not top credit risks to get mortgages. Milwaukee Real Estate Lawyer Max H. Karl, 47, and Real Estateman S. W. Kallas, who founded Mortgage Guaranty last April, thought that a private firm could fill the gap. Friends, relatives and clients put up $250,000, and Karl sold $500,000 in stock. Mortgage Guaranty soon signed up to guarantee mortgages for 30 savings and loan associations...
