...peace. During World War I, Professor Henderson (with his assistant, Howard Haggard) invented a gas mask, but his greatest scientific work is his research on respiration. Physiologists long believed that asphyxiation was caused by lack of oxygen plus an accumulation of "poisonous" carbon dioxide in the body. The old method of resuscitation was to pump pure oxygen into lungs. But this method was seldom successful. Professor Henderson proved that carbon dioxide in small amounts is really an essential breathing stimulant, introduced an O 2 -CO 2 mixture which is used today in all hospitals, saves an estimated 25,000 newborn...
Charles Townsend Copeland's method of teaching English composition was once described by Walter Lippmann '10 as a "catch-as-catch-can wrestling match."

They were given many opportunities to fiddle with the light switches and the lid of the box, learn for themselves what had produced their neuroses. Through repeated trials they gradually developed "insight" into the sequence of light switch, food, air blast, finally became welladjusted, normal cats...
