Electrons in the outer circles may be radiated out by falling from a higher potential energy to a lower, and the frequency of radiation is proportional to the energy loss in the process. This is the Einstein-Bohr law of radiation, which has been amply verified in the past five years. As to what the electrons are doing when they are not radiating, chemists and physicists on the whole hold divergent views. The chemist believes the electrons are at rest (what I call "the loafer theory"), but the physicist believes they are rotating in orbits at enormous speed. The chemist...
...fallacy that the U. S. as a grain producer could disregard conditions in the rest of the world, has been very sharply disproved by the boom in wheat-growing in Canada and the Argentine, and the stagnation in our own wheat belt. Production costs are so much lower in the two above-named countries that our wheat surplus can be exported only after their surpluses have been sold. Since their production is steadily growing, our own must as steadily decline...
...freshman dormitories. For this purpose, some rooms are designed to serve a single student as study and bedroom, some suites have a study and double bedroom and others, a study and single bedroom.

Rooms in each dormitory have been provided for the proctors, thus increasing the personal contact and good fellowship between the staff...

Long since, in college days, he would challenge his fellows to read any two lines of Shakespeare which he could not locate-play, act, scene. Today the story persists that the kitchen-range in his bachelor apartment is piled high with books...
