...Usher who has been characterized as "neither an economist nor, in the true sense, an historian," but rather "a collector of details--a hard working, conscientious gatherer of economic facts." Usher has done an excellent job in Ec. 133 (where I happen to have heard him) in tracing the pattern of economic development, and Mr. Bunde's failure to catch even a glimmering reflection of this pattern in the undergraduate course would indicate an aberration into adolescence on his part, quite in contrast with the incisive maturity of his judgments elsewhere. Professor Usher cuts loose from the conventional, integrated, year...
...blast and Ko-Ko's song I've got a little list. Sets are far handsomer than any ever seen on the Savoyard stage. Sound recording is approximately perfect.

Or it may remain strictly extra-curricular, in the hope that enough undergraduates will voluntarily participate to justify its existence and providing for them a welcome relief from the more formalized pattern of course work...
...human beings many body functions are accompanied by electrical activity -nerve impulses, heartbeats, menstruation in women, healing of wounds, even the blinking of eyelids. Dr. Burr added up the evidence, concluded that every living organism is surrounded by an electrodynamic field. Its electrical pattern develops along with its physiological structure.

...found a number of cyclic variations in the amount of sunshine bathing the earth which affect its weather. Last week he announced finding a new short cycle of 16 days. This is closely correlated with wide temperature swings on earth - swings of 15 and even 25°. The pattern of temperature change following the 16-day cycle varies from place to place and from month to month, but Dr. Abbot believes that the value of 16-day temperature prediction to industry and agriculture would be well worth the trouble and expense of making month-by-month prediction charts for each...
