...voiced by Dr. Daniel T. MacDougal, Director of Botanical Research at the Carnegie Institution, and General Secretary of the A. A. A. S., was, on the whole, opposed to the claims of Professor Paul Kammerer, of Vienna (TIME, May 12, June 18, Dec. 10), who believes he has experimental proof of the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Dr. Kammerer, though now in this country, was not invited to Cincinnati. Most American biologists, while recognizing that animals or plants may have experiences (poisons, for instance), which affect the germ plasm in such a way as to cause changes in the progeny...
...aloud the figures on his nursing bottle and who at the age of 11 was describing to Harvard professors how most accurately to measure the fourth dimension, was discovered by a New York reporter to be working as a clerk in the metropolis for $23 a week. This was proof sufficient for an eager penman, who probably sailed over the college course on a level C, that precocity is a flash in the pan, brilliant but momentary...
...blame. They have given their all to the work. It is a certain "Puritan disdain" which causes the universities to "dawdle". Harvard has a man who is not an impractical dreamer, but one who has achieved more in his field than anyone else. And if we look for proof?

...must have been a great adventure, and though its nautical days are over the club is as active as any homogeneous foc'sle well can be. Twice in the last week it has burst into print in American journals, and has survived, proof enough of a strong constitution. What is more it has burst generously. First it offered, through the Alumni Bulletin, a prize for the best suggestion of a subject for discussion offered by March 1, 1924. Now it continues its intellectual curiosity and challenges the "Advocate" to the tune of 100 dollars for its most striking article...
