...Bankers and lawyers are necessary to such a reorganization "but they ought not to dominate its preparation." (The I. C. C. stipulated that no underwriting or attorney fees should be paid for the financial reorganization without court approval. But the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and The National City Co. long ago had voluntarily made that provision...
Turing to chapter 2, or rather lecture 2, on "Muscles and How They Move," we learn a lot of things which we ought to know; this statement, in fact, being true of the whole book. Are you aware, for example, that muscular activity is effected by chemical reaction; that the efficiency of our muscles is 25 per cent something better that that of a steam engine; that a frog's muscle can lift one thousand times its won weight?

Other conditions mentioned are: the careful planning of the reading, in advance, by the instructors; reasonable restriction of the amount of reading and its definite relation to the courses which the student is following. The peril to the student is that he may regard this free time till the examination comes as a period of relief from work or may dawdle the greater part of it and then "cram". But most of the students...
