...Raymond Walton, a recent graduate of Balliol College, Oxford, offers an authoritative and intriguing account of "The Oxford Man in Party Politics." To combat misconceptions about the aristocratic heritage of British university life he cites the fact that at his former alma mater "over half of the undergraduates are in receipt of financial assistance independent of family ties."

The Columbia University bacteriologist who proved that colds and influenza are due to viruses, ruddy, reticent Dr. Alphonse Raymond Dochez, reported in Science that, with the help of Dr. Charles Arthur Slanetz, he has prevented and cured distemper in dogs, cats and ferrets by injections of a new drug-sodium sulfanilyl sulfanilate. This drug, a sulfur derivative like sulfanilamide which cures certain bacterial diseases (due to streptococcus, etc.), appears, according to Drs. Dochez & Slanetz...
