...many stitches have been bothering Gene Clark, who now ranks as Harvard's best miler. Cross Country will help his mile running, and he should come through down at Princeton Friday.

Arthur H. Compton proved the pleasantest subject. He posed in his room and talked to the camera man almost an hour on the intensity of cosmic rays, and rocket ships. He held that in time we may be making journeys to the moon and the planets. He said that science was delayed by lack of funds and that we won't have another stratosphere flight for some time as it cost about $160,000 for a balloon.
