...dosing them with insulin. His theory: morphinism is due to too much adrenalin in the system; insulin counteracts adrenalin. By accidentally overdosing them with insulin, Dr. Sakel shocked some of his morphine patients into comas. When they recovered from the "hypoglycemic shocks," their personalities were remarkably changed. Since the problem of curing a schizophrenic is the problem of shaking up his ingrown personality, Dr. Sakel tried shocking doses of insulin on Viennese schizophrenics. Last week at the New York Academy of Medicine he frankly declared that he does not know how and why his cure works, that it is indubitably...
...remember being very worked up about the problem in hand and refusing to quit till I had my say. I was very doctrinaire in my defense of the (I suppose) obscurantist position that it all didn't amount to that. That progress was a myth and science just encouraged it to be one that we had been better off hundreds of years ago when people had never heard of progress and never stopped their plowing for a minute to think of it. That we lived and ate and sang and suffered and died and we had better do them...
...less ambitious feat of imagination, Playwright Anderson has given High Tor a young owner named Van Dorn (Burgess Meredith, who also lives within a couple of rifle shots of the hill).

As far as long term athletic financing is concerned, endowment is the logical and satisfactory answer for the future, combined, of course, with a continuation of a policy of keeping costs down as much as is humanly possible. The training of the mind is liberally provided for, but is comparatively futile without a corresponding care for that of the body. In due course farsighted graduates may fill this vital need...
...levy of ten dollars for the Freshman participation ticket is one type of temporary measure which should deal satisfactorily with the problem. A scaling down of the price for men on scholarships would be a fair provision, by way of softening the blow of an unexpected expense to these men. These extra funds would solve the H.A.A.'s minor sports question for the present, and should not be opposed by Freshmen of immediately approaching years. These men use the athletic facilities free only because of the compulsory character of yearling athletics. Yet if they did not exercise on a regular...
