...view of the often mentioned fact that Widener was compelled to critical service to the community for lack of funds, it is only natural that a critical eye should be turned on certain of its expenditures whose justification, if it exists, does not appear on the surface.

...expeditions to Southeastern Asia in 1928-29 on behalf of the Field Museum of Chicago. With the Coolidge party starting from China and the Roosevelt group from the Tibetan border, the original plan was to meet on the Mekong River, but the swift rapids in the Mckong and a lack of time prevented this meeting until the end of the expedition.

Professor Charles Bernard Lipman, the booming, moon-faced plant-physiologist who is dean of the University of California's graduate division, now thinks such guessers have been correct. From several sources he acquired meteorites (meteors which landed intact on Earth). These he doused, scrubbed, seared and otherwise sterilized, then pulverized in sterile mortars. The dust...
