Tritium is the big brother of the hydrogen family. Ordinary hydrogen has one lone proton in its nucleus with an electron circling around it. Deuterium (heavy hydrogen) has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. Tritium (heavy heavy hydrogen) has one proton and two neutrons. It is feebly radioactive, with a half-life of about twelve years. Drs. Libby and Grosse detected it through its radiation in samples of heavy (deuterium-containing) water. Its presence in heavy water had been suspected for some time, but not conclusively proved...
Although graduation took much of the depth out of the halfback line, a good nucleus still remains. "Pants" Pantaleoni, center halfback at the beginning of last year, will probably return to his old position, flanked by Lated Berger or the right and either Larry Leonard or Getchell on the left...

Most cytologists (cell scientists) had believed that the virus multiplies in the protoplasm which surrounds the nerve cell's nucleus, much as the white of an egg enfolds the yolk. Not so, the Yale researchers found: the virus invades the nucleus itself as well as the cytoplasm. Apparently it multiplies within the nucleus and, while there, competes with the host cell for the nourishing nucleoproteins which are manufactured in the nucleus...
...booth at the Syracuse state fair for an exhibition of displays from its various campuses. New Yorkers found that their university extends from Niagara Falls to Brooklyn, that some bits & pieces of it are more than 100 years old, others barely four. In addition to its 29-school nucleus, S.U.N.Y. has absorbed two medical schools-the Long Island College of Medicine and the Syracuse University medical school-and two small postwar colleges, Champlain and Triple Cities. With last year's enrollment of 34,000, S.U.N.Y. had already become the second largest state university...
