...Madame Vestris, by Leo Waitzkin '33. The following theses have appeared in previous years: "Poetical Intoxication," by W. N. Bates '30; "Shakspere and the Ireland Forgeries," by Derk Bodde '30; "The Respectability of Mr. Bernard Shaw," by Ayers Brinser '31; "The Creed of a Victorian Pagan," by Robert Peel '31; and "Shilling Shockers of the Gothic School," by W. W. Watt '32. Publication of honors theses is made possible by a grant from the Visiting Committee of the Board of Overseers...
...officers, "BOQ"' (bachelor officers' quarters), enlisted men's barracks, recreation building, all in Spanish architecture. Most remarkable is the dock which measures about three city blocks long, one block wide and 18 stories high. Like the Goodyear-Zeppelin dock its ends are closed by enormous orange-peel doors. Each "peel" weighs 400 tons, is moved by a 250-h. p. motor. An inclined elevator leads from the "deck" (floor) to the roof. Out of each end of the dock for nearly a half-mile run two standard-gauge railroad tracks terminating in two mooring circles...
...minutes following one such denial in a train I chanced to throw away a stale piece of my private supply of bread. Like a shot a peasant dived to the floor, grabbed the crust and devoured it. The same performance was repeated later with an orange peel. Even transport and G. P. U. officers warned me against traveling over the countryside at night because of the numbers of starving, desperate men. . . . A foreign expert who returned from Kazakstan told me that 1,000,000 of the 5,000,000 of inhabitants there have died of hunger...
...airship. Declaiming "I christen thee Macon!", she yanked the cord. Two hatches in the underside of the Macon's snout flopped open, spilling out 48 alarmed pigeons which flapped excitedly about the dock. Thirty-four of the birds then streaked through the aperture of the great orange-peel doors. Outside, two of them (Miss Macon & Miss Georgia) detached themselves from the rest, bent a course for Macon 500 mi. away. The others, veterans of the christening of the Akron in 1931, had to flutter only three miles to the coops of Tire Builder Frank Eisentraut on the north side...
...discovered it last year (TIME, March 7, 1932), has been considered an electrically inert combination of proton and electron. Two pictures of the combination have developed: 1) the heavy proton and the light electron bound together much like a dumbbell; 2) the electron hugging the proton like an onion peel. Such combinations should knock protons in certain definite directions. With a camera he invented, Yale's Franz N. D. Kurie showed that the behavior of protons recoiling from neutrons did not follow the calculated patterns. Only deduction tenable was that the neutron is an elementary, indivisible particle of matter...
