...then explained how medical experiment brought about the results previously explained by Dr. Shattuck. "There are yet many obscurities in medical knowledge," said Dr. Cannon; "for instance, scarlet fever, measles, infantile paralysis, and cancer afford wide fields of investigation. The average physician may not make worldwide discoveries, yet, like a picture puzzle, every addition is needed. There is a certain thrill that comes to a man when he makes a great discovery; he realizes that he has found a truth, a truth which will help mankind...

Upon no great large question has anything like a unanimity of opinion prevailed. In 1912, for example, a straw vote taken in the University, favored Wilson; yet his strongest opponent was a Harvard graduate and member of the Board of Overseers. Our irate critics should, perhaps, have expected that Harvard would troop meekly into the Progressive camp. In regard to Mr. Brandeis, the expressions of opinion in the University...
