...Northwestern is to take less heroic measures to the same effect. Representatives of the fraternities and other groups of male students have agreed to join the young women of the university in celebrating three dateless nights in each week. The colloquialism " dateless " is not to be understood in the poetic sense. The young men are said to expect a resultant advance in scholarship and, incidentally, more conference championships...
Backsliders will be readily detected by Professor Delton F. Howard's character-determining machine which has been approved by the faculty of Northwestern. This device enables the psychologist to determine the qualities of a student by means of two pedals and five levers. News despatches do not make it clear whether the machine in question is sold under the trade-name of Ford or not. Of course, the Ford has long been recognized as a test of character. The inventor of the Northwestern machine divides humanity into four classes: 1) the man who knows...
...probable conquest of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a peculiar disease, the microbe of which is transmitted by the wood tick, and which is practically confined to Montana, Idaho and other northwestern states, is forecast by the discovery of a protective vaccine against the disease by Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, the distinguished Japanese pathologist of the Rockefeller Institute, who, in collaboration with Dr. Simeon B.

Nine Japanese of Missoula voluntarily submitted to injections of the vaccine, although warned that its effects might be serious...
...micro-vivisection" apparatus so delicate that it enables scientists to dissect living cells has been perfected by Professor C. E. Tharaldsen, of the Department of Zoology, Northwestern University.

The needles, the essential part of the machine, are finer than hairs and are formed like a "J" or an "L." The apparatus is superior to similar devices now in use, in that...
...North Atlantic Passenger Conference lines ceased booking immigrants from Great Britain because the British quota will be filled by present bookings in May. The Swedish quota will probably be filled in June. This is a great difference from last year when only about 47% of the quotas from northwestern Europe was filled. It is ample evidence that the immigration law is more than a restrictive measure. The labor demand in this country, not being satisfied by the allowed number of southern European immigrants, attracts from the north more immigrants than would come under unrestricted immigration...
