Sixty years ago, when the revolutionary ideas of Lister and Pasteur were beginning to gain credence, there was no medial school in the U. S. worthy of the name. American students went abroad to do research, learn surgical and laboratory technique. In 1883 Daniel Coit Gilman, head of Johns Hopkins University, heartened by a $3,228,000 bequest from the Quaker founder of the school, began scouting for distinguished professors who would form the nucleus of a great U. S. medical faculty...
...career. She won last year's for her portrayal of Anna Held in The Great Ziegfeld. Sandy, rough-cut Actor Spencer Tracy, recovering in a Los Angeles hospital from a hernia operation, wept when told he had won. Last year's Oscar to Actor Paul Muni (Louis Pasteur) disappointed many who thought Actor Tracy deserved it for a row of consistently fine jobs (among them: Father Tim in San Francisco, Joe Wilson in Fury). When this year's balloting named his difficult pidgin-English part in Captains Courageous, many thought the score was about even...
...Pasteur. Down the ways of Penhoet's big shipyards at St. Nazaire, France, fortnight ago screeched a 30,000-ton French Line luxury ship for the France-South America run. All the 695-ft. vessel's first and second-class rooms, as well as some of the third class, will be outside. Top speed will be 28 knots, far faster than anything in the South Atlantic. Her predecessor was the Atlantique, mysteriously burned out during her trials in 1933, on which London and other insurance groups paid $11,000,000 insurance...
...cancer cells of the type called Ehrlich sarcoma are ground up, made into an emulsion and injected beneath the skins of mice, the animals invariably die. Drs. Alexandre Besredka and Ludwik Gross of the Pasteur Institute in Paris made small, weak doses of finely minced sarcoma tissue, injected them not beneath but in the skins of mice. In most of the animals metastases (cancer colonizations elsewhere in the body) took place and death followed. But in 10% the skin tumor caused by the injection dried up and disappeared and thereafter the mice were immune to that type of sarcoma...
...When he stained one of his germ colonies he found nothing but the wreckage of dead bacteria. Whatever it was that killed them was able to pass in solution through a fine filter and then infect other colonies. Felix d'Herelle, a Canadian studying at France's Pasteur Institute, found that another kind of phage was fatal to the dysentery bacillus, and that dysentery patients treated with it showed improvement...
