Will Mr. Conant's new research-teachers be able to stimulate this large group, mainly interested in outside affairs, along the paths of study? According to comments of present concentrators in many fields, the research man has his nose on the grindstone continually, is annoyed by pestering students. He will cooperate only with students who are scholars as he is; only a few exceptions are mentioned here. Mr. Conant's claim is that research will keep teachers alive and inspire them to keep abreast of their general field. Will it not rather bury them in one cubby hole in many...
...last week's bout began, both wrestlers yammered, screamed, snorted, grunted, growled, moaned. Shikat's nose dribbled blood from Baba's crushing headlocks and resounding slaps. Each diligently tied the other into knots. Shikat stood the Turk on his head, bounced him up & down. When, after 53 minutes of mauling, Shikat began to lose enthusiasm and the shoe polish from Baba's mustache dripped onto his hairy chest, the latter pinned Shikat with what Announcer Joe Humphreys identified as a flying crotch hold and body press.

A searchlight reached up played over the fabric, came to rest on the swastikas on the rudder. Other lights on the airship twinkled back. Presently the 803-ft. sausage nosed into the haze over the Hudson, flew on toward Lakehurst, N. J. There a huge crowd had lined the U. S. Navy's vast lighter-than-air field for hours. At 5140 a.m. someone spotted the Zeppelin's big round nose poking up over the horizon in a pink...
...known mechanisms - the robot pilot and the landing beam system designed in 1933 by the Bureau of Air Commerce. As the plane approaches the airport, it leaves the flying beam and picks up two new beams by means of a special cross-shaped antenna on the plane's nose. One of these is a vertical directional beam about five feet wide at the airport. The other is a lateral, curved landing beam which slants down onto the field from one side, almost vertical ten miles out, 60 feet above ground at field edge, 15 feet above at field-centre...
