...health and therapeutics. Men on the faculty who invent and perfect such devices do so certainly not because they expect to derive profits from their inventions, but because they have a genuine scientific and humanitarian interest in the subject. For a man to invent some therapeutic machine and then patent it so that it can not be duplicated or perfected in indeed to display a total lack of altruistic and humanitarian movies...
That the University will not patent inventions dealing with matters of public health unless they are dedicated to the public is praiseworthy. And since no patents can be taken out by members of the University, such unfortunate affairs as the Emerson-Drinker suit will be a thing of the past. The combined faculties by adopting this new ruling are preserving the notion that a University exists primarily for the public welfare and enlightenment...
...over $200,000,000 a year. We wrecked the Naval Conference at Geneva in 1927. We have our Midvale Co. (controlled by the Baldwin Locomotive Works) which prospered mightily during the war and has continued the manufacture of guns and gun forgings, armor plate and projectiles; our Colt's Patent Firearms Mfg.

...swarm of soothsayers laying down the law, but rarely have their tables of stone weathered the drizzle of a single generation. Of the modestly minor interpreters of the modern U. S., Lewis Mumford has one of the most respectful followings. No Jeremiah, no hard-shell Marxian, with no patent axe to grind, he goes at the complex mass of modern civilization with all five senses. Technics and Civilization, scholarly, ambitious, big (495 pp.), does not attempt to be a Bible for any creed, but it may well prove to be a milestone in the circuitous study of the Machine...
