...answer seems fairly obvious: give the students the best of living conditions and all possible facilities for enjoying themselves together and leave them together for a substantial period of time. Squash courts, well-appointed dining halls and common rooms plus comfortable and attractive rooms will all contribute to this object.

Natural Vision. In stereoscopy an object is photographed from two slightly different points of view so that when the two pictures are united in projection the object stands out in three dimensions. Inventor Spoor has obtained a like effect by using a camera with two lenses which record impressions on film through a single aperture.
