...been my privilege as a geologist to read the records in the rocks; knowing the ages of the rocks has led to better knowledge of the Rock of Ages; I have watched the procession of life on the long road from the one-celled but of primitive protoplasm to the present assemblage of varied creatures including...
...living forms from simple unicellular life, have multiplied year by year. Evidences of Human Evolution. There are, according to Pofessor Lull, three kinds of evidence that man belongs in the great stream of evolution which produced all other kinds of animals: 1) Morphology (anatomy). Man is composed of protoplasm like all other plants and animals. He breathes as all higher animals do and eats much as they do. He is a vertebrate with the same number of limbs as other vertebrates. Bone for bone, his skeleton is like that of the typical mammal-and even reptile-types. His nervous system...
...concluding speech of the afternoon will be delivered by Professor Harlow Shapley, Director of the Harvard College Observatory, who will speak on "Stars and Protoplasm...
...touch and the lively style that make the reading of Sir Arthur Shipley's new elementary biology a stimulating exercise. He calls his little book "Life," prefaces his chapters with apt quotations from the poets, and explains with an unusual combination of scientific accuracy and literary flavor all about protoplasm, cells, feeding, the soil and the sap, food, digestion, respiration, movement, and reproduction, in plants and animals...
...apparatus is superior to similar devices now in use, in that it is steadier. It requires much practice, however, to get a cell to lie still while a needle is being forced through it. The machine will make possible the study of the fundamental unit of living human protoplasm and its functions-a goal at which biologists have been aiming for years. Experiments are being conducted with minute eggs cut in two, to see whether each half will grow. The effects of various toxins and bacteria on the basic cell may be investigated with far-reaching significance to human welfare...
