...legal saw for a weak case: "Try the judge, try your opponent, try the police but don't try your client." Once when he had Anthony J. Drexel Biddle as a witness he was afraid that the fact that Mr. Biddle was a capitalist would react unfavorably on the jury. So shrewd Max Steuer instead of asking his occupation phrased his query: "W'hat do you do for occupation?" Said Mr. Biddle blandly: "I'm president of the International Bible Society...
...final session of New York University's conference on junior high schools has adopted a resolution against "hurried and hysterical cutting of school budgets." It is argued that the national rush for economy may cripple seriously the essential functions of our educational machinery, and react to the disadvantage of future generations. Although the report gives half-hearted consent to "true economy," legislative bodies will be unable to escape the conclusion that the schools have joined the swelling ranks of state departments which, while ardent for budget balancing, insist that the axe must fall elsewhere...
...over the curriculum of his Tutees. Quite dogmatically, at least for the present; the CRIMSON proposes the following methods of control, which some departments have adopted in part, and which others might examine with profit.

Late in the Sophomore year, or during the first part of the Junior year, the goats should be sorted out and placed in group conferences, while...
...lost books can be successfully recovered without recourse to the general search. It is, furthermore, inexcusable to permit irresponsible undergraduates covertly to ransack a fellow House member's quarters. To innocent tenants such an intrusion represents a complete negation of privacy. The performance of the malodorous office may conceivably react tragically upon the character and outlook of a youthful and malleable agent; to those less scrupulous it will present the opportunity of a life-time...
...layer of mercury, the anode of a delicately balanced electrical system. Cathode of the system is a column of mercury which flows by separate drops (two to three seconds apart) into the substance to be analyzed. The current which flows through the system increases steadily by definite increments. Substances react in a regular way to the current. By means of a mirror galvanometer, the polarograph marks a chart when reactions occur. Professor Heyrovsky & colleagues have prepared scores of polarograph charts. Every user of a polarograph furnishes charts of more substances. By comparing the chart of an unknown substance with available...
