Secretary Mellon's visit, labelled causa sanitatis, has been very quiet. In exactly what important business he is engaged, the world does not know, but that it is important business hardly anyone can doubt. After all, isolation is largely a matter of form. Political isolation cannot restore the real isolation which was destroyed, not by the Wilson regime, but by peaceful com merce over a period of decades...
...offices in Boston-colonial offices, exquisitely furnished-he appears, quiet, forceful, softspoken, a country gentleman, perhaps, receiving a caller in his study. I suppose many people think of him as a decided conservative, and of his publication as of the same shade of opinion. Not so.

...Paris, Professor Albert Calmette, Assistant Director of the Pasteur Institute, "a man of eminence and discretion," stepped to the lectern of the Academy of Medicine. Before him sat distinguished savants, among them Mme. Curie and Prof. Pierre Roux. From his quiet, austere laboratory Calmette had brought with him papers that were the fruit of 20 years' patient inconspicuous labor. Calmette read, finished, the chamber vibrated with vociferous applause...
