Knudsen-a period of the drawing board and the lathe, of designing and building tools to make things with, a time of blueprints and bricks-without-mortar, of labor-training schools, of raw materials and schedules; a time of hurry, nerves, urgency, short cuts and of sharp demands for cooperation-or-else; 3) production: when more factories roar, more men go to work, more will be produced than ever before in the world's history-the goal, the answer to all physical problems...
...College in 1912 and the Law School in 1915, recently appointed to the Circuit Court of Appeals, and sire of Blair Clark, 1939-40 Crimson president, is the gentleman being back-patted.

Obvious answer, proposed by scientists at Cornell University: take the air out of the milk. They announced development of vacuum equipment which de-aerates 1,500 quarts...
