Theodor K o p p a n y i, experimental physiologist in the University of Chicago, has just made public the results of attempts to transplant the mysterious organ known as the spleen from one animal to another. The name of Koppanyi is familiar because of his attempts at transplanting a human eye (TIME, June 18, 1923, Oct. 20), which have apparently been successful thus far to a very limited extent, only in the case of rats. His new experiments indicate that the spleen can be transplanted in the case of certain lower forms of animal life, and perhaps...
Steinach is a bigger man than most of his detractors. He is a biologist and physiologist of great and reputable achievements, professor in the University of Vienna, and director of the Biological Institute of the Vienna Academy of Sciences. His palpable sincerity and devotion to scientific truth are qualities which have not been conspicuous among many who have traded on his reputation.

He has not, in fact, received any income from his discoveries...

He had been in America three weeks, but few, even in scientific circles, knew it until he was about to leave. Pavloff has no stomach for publicity. Scarcely had he set foot on our soil, in company with his son, Dr. Vladimir Pavloff, a professor of physics, who studied under...
