...published with this issue. Again the story told is one of swift and stirring advance. Eighty-three of the Nation's 600 colleges and universities now have 245, 248 students enrolled for full-time work. This is an increase of 15.299 since the academic year of 1923-24. The rate of growth--nearly 6 1-2 per cent--is faster, proportionately, than the growth of the whole population of the United States. Think what that means!

Blood Thickness. On the principle that a stone falls more rapidly than a feather (through a medium) because of its greater density, a quick means of testing the thickness of blood was devised by timing its rate of descent through water. In this way, it was found that the blood may be diluted 10% in five minutes (by secretions of salt water from glands) if a person passes from a cold to a warm room. The additional liquid is provided by nature so that the blood may not become too thick through the loss of water by perspiration...
...Wellesley is of interest because this is the first time in 25 years that the show has been given there. In 1999 the club gave a performance of a production called "The Belles of Wellesley", which apparently displeased the girls by its cleverness in taking off themselves. At any rate since that date no performance has been given within the precincts of Wellesley until this year...
