Last week Optometrist Newton K. Wesley of Chicago's Eye Research Foundation announced an ingenious solution: a bifocal contact lens with the distant-vision prescription in the center, enclosed by a surrounding area that corrects for closeup reading. Rotation therefore makes no difference. Wesley, who tried the first pair on himself, reports that 65 people who have worn the new lenses for as long as five months are enthusiastic. If they look straight ahead with eyes wide open, they see through the center lens. When they look down, the contact lens rises, so that they see through the outer...

...five returning lettermen, the varsity golfers will face a powerful Boston College team this afternoon at 2:30 p.m., at the Commonwealth Country Club in Newton. B.C. will provide the Crimson with stiff competition, as they have already defeated a good Brown team...
...preparation implies that Harvard should also require no specific mathematics requirement for graduation. This closed door policy evoked by the Committee is indeed unfortunate in modern times when an understanding of the present goals of science is intimately tied up with the powerful concept of the calculus--discovered by Newton over 300 years...
...with it. Whereas in humanities, for instance, the ideas of Plato are of considerable relevance today even though they are not included in the work of modern theorists, this is not the case in the natural sciences. Modern quantum theory contains a great deal of the older work of Newton, Laplace, Poisson, Hamilton, Jacobi, and Bohr. Indeed, a present concept of the physical truth is but a modification, reforming, and improvement of older ideas...
