Physiologist Gasser's appointment may mark a major turning point in the teaching of Medicine in the U. S.

Medical students learn a great deal about diseased cells, tissues and organs, comparatively little about how the human body actually works. This is the province of physiology, which, under Dr. Gasser, may in the future be emphasized at Rockefeller Institute which, in turn, would influence all U. S. medical schools...

...much to dump in the U. S. as in countries with which the Fatherland has clearing agreements. According to the plausible secretariat of smart Dr. Schacht, nothing is farther from his high mind than dumping. He merely hopes to equalize the difference between the value of the German mark, which is relatively high because the mark has not been devalued, and the value of other currencies like the yen, pound and dollar, which have been forced down by devaluation...
