Professor Butin closed with the hope that the Harvard men who made the first discoveries would return to find more. His statement points to a fact which can scarcely be brought to light to often that a modern university is not only a storehouse of past learning, but a center for the gathering of new knowledge an agency which covers the glabe, from the Amazon and the Andes to the forbidden mountains of Tibet. Berein lies perhaps the answer to those who for one reason or another have questioned, from the founding of the first university, the worth of such...
Dispatches from the alien world of English university life are not often of a nature to cause the student at Harvard to bow his head and give thanks for present blessings. Of this kind, however, is the information from Oxford that rules have been put into effect by the University restricting the under-graduate use of automobiles. No freshman is permitted to own a car; an upper classman must get a special license for ownership from the disciplinary authorities of the university. Trips to the English Wellesley are precluded by another regulation which restricts the rental...
Newspapers, as they often do, last week brandished scant information of a new antiseptic-"monsol," synthesized by the Mondson Refining Co. This British concern is an offshoot of Sir Alfred Mend's industrial chemistry activities. His son Henry is its chairman. Scientific details they seemed chary in giving to the reporters. However, they did relate the drug's use, which the New York Times reported: "It can be applied to the skin and even to the tongue without burning and can be swallowed.

The characters, chiefly young men with intellectual pretensions, occasionally their mistresses, argue and act and idle through its pages much as they would through life. Many critics have acclaimed the book a masterpiece. It is not glib railroad-train reading...
Charles Eliot Norton's unique place in the affections of Harvard men was indicated by Le Baron R. Briggs '75, dean of the College during the latter part of Norton's professorship, when he said recently that wherever Harvard men gathered 20 years ago two names were most often heard, those of N. S. Shaler '62, former professor of geology, and of Professor Norton...
