...undergraduate concentrating in one of the sciences, the coming of spring brings no small discomfort. The warm zephyrs from the fields are at war with the fumes of the laboratory and the young biochemist or physiologist searches his course catalogue sullenly in the hope of finding a combination of studies which will leave him an afternoon or two a week to air out his lungs. But he will be deceived; he will pick a course which requires two hours of laboratory work but actually demands six, and one which calls for two afternoons at first but ultimately takes three...
...hypothesis is the brain-child of Dr. Walter B. Cannon, Harvard physiologist, and it proposes the application of simple biological laws to economic and social problems. The basis of the theory according to its founder rests upon the similarity of the body politic to the human body in susceptibility to maladjustment...
...origin of life on Earth last week hearkened when a distinguished Californian announced the discovery of bacteria in meteorites. For lack of precise facts, some guessers have placed life, with meteors, sunshine, starshine and cosmic rays, as an extramundane intrusion. Professor Charles Bernard Lipman, the booming, moon-faced plant-physiologist who is dean of the University of California's graduate division, now thinks such guessers have been correct. From several sources he acquired meteorites (meteors which landed intact on Earth). These he doused, scrubbed, seared and otherwise sterilized, then pulverized in sterile mortars. The dust he placed in germ...
Professor Bertram James Collingwood, University of London physiologist, nephew of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), came lecturing to the U. S. to raise funds for a children's "Wonderland Ward" in St. Mary's Hospital. London, as a memorial to his uncle, and for a similar ward in the Babies Hospital of New York's Medical Center. Said he: "I am hoping to find a prominent American lady who will be Chief Cheshire Cat for the Helpers of Wonderland League which we would like to start here to interest children the two projects. In England Mrs. Cecil...
Whether Professor Sherrington or Russia's Professor Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1904 Nobel Laureate in Medicine) is the world's greatest physiologist is one of those useless points scholars like to discuss. Neurologists argue for Professor Sherrington. Harvard's Harvey Gushing defers to him, his laboratory at Oxford is a shrine. Everyone who meets him, who hears his quiet elucidation of the abstruse, becomes his friend. His researches laid the foundations of our present knowledge of reflex actions. His Integrative Action of the Nervous System is practically an engineering manual of the body's telegraph system. When...
