INTO this volume are collected the shorter writings of Prof. Chafee of the Law School on freedom of thought and action in their many manifestations. To the undergraduate perhaps the most interesting chapter is that on "The Inquiring Mind" itself.

Prof. Chafee believes that the four years of college life can be put to better use, and in general, it must...
...rest of the book discusses recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court on cases affecting civil liberties. Prof. Chafee, a confessed supporter of capital and our present form of government, displays an extraordinary breadth of mind. In almost all the cases discussed, even in those arising from the famous Sacco-Vanzetti and Bimba trials, he finds that civil liberties were invaded by the powers that be.

...demonstrated in the cosmic ray (TIME, March 26). But the helium-nitrogen activity seems to be just the opposite. When helium and nitrogen collide and explode, forming oxygen and hydrogen, energy appears to be stored rather than given off. From this have arisen arguments which support the theory of Prof. Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin-that the earth has been built up by the aggregation of smaller bodies such as meteorites or planetesimals, in which energy has been stored...
