...Crile was practicing "shockless surgery" by a method he called anoci-association (meaning: not to injure consciousness). A Crile patient usually received a sedative injection (morphine and scopolamine) an hour before operation to eradicate fear. To prevent injured tissues from communicating with the brain, nerves leading from the operative field were blocked off by novocain anesthesia. As the operation progressed, more novocain at the site of operation preceded every move. To lessen discomfort after operation, Dr. Crile gave injections of quinine and urea hydrochloride. His interest in shock led him to experiment with adrenalin (a hormone which produces the symptoms...
Discoverers of the method of isolating eka-iodine are Dr. Walter Minder, director of Bern's Radium Institute, and Dr. Alice Leigh-Smith, British student of the late great Mme. Curie. In a burst of international patriotism they named the new element anglohelvetium after their native lands, as Mme. Curie named polonium for her Poland...
...Fred Allison and his collaborators of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, applying a magneto-optic method of analysis, a thousand times more sensitive than the arc spectroscope, to the study of concentrates from monazite sand, believed they had two-millionths of a gram of eka-iodine in the final concentrate. They named it alabamine. Dr. Allison did not isolate it in pure form, nor were other chemists able to confirm his magneto-optic suspicion. The anglo-helvetian stars, however, may merely have fallen on alabamine...
Originally the Student Council had proposed that the University provide some method by which student furniture might be purchased and a glut on the market prevented. So far this program has not met with the approval of the University, although such a program was recently instituted at Dartmouth for the purchase of the furniture of drafted students...
...probability, the current Nominating Committee was fully representative of its class. That particular problem of fact is not, however, the crux of the matter. If such a precedent of secrecy were established, it could be a tailor-made method of "fixing" elections in the future, whenever a group in power decided to make the attempt. Only complete publicity of the names of those who choose the slate can assure that they will be responsible and answerable to their constituents, and can protect the undergraduates from the possibilities of gross misrepresentation...
