Last week the first conclusions of several investigations were made public. In a 70-page report Manager Richard Aldworth of Newark Airport stated (in brief): All engines (Wrights) functioned normally on previous flights and on this takeoff. One engine failed shortly after the takeoff. Another may have failed later. The pilot was convinced that his plane was overloaded, ? He was not sufficiently familiar with the area in the immediate vicinity of the neighborhood. He paid insufficient attention to the direction and velocity of the wind. From the first period after the engine failure, he probably had decided...
...report of the incident, made last week by a Kamerun plantation manager to his Berlin employers, did not mention an autopsy. Such autopsy, to show whether or not she had ever borne children, would have been invaluable to science...
...creatures; here am I, ready for my vocation." Medical students study this prayer, along with the "Oath of Hippocrates" and its spirit has guided their practice. Scholars have long sought its Hebrew or Arabic original. Last week they were chagrined to learn that they had overlooked a report published in the American Israelite 21 years ago. The late G.

When a good Jordan report comes out, everyone gets a mental picture of many a Jordan hastening along the nation's highways, but Public Service Corp. probably suggests only...
...adequately explains why this has been so often impossible in the past. The other point made by the CRIMSON and several of its correspondents that emphasis on the money value of undergraduate productions should not weigh too heavily in their selection is also admitted, but here again his unbiased report of conditions shows the impossibility of consistent neglect of this feature. The CRIMSON'S contention that musical comedy is produced by two other Harvard organizations can only increase the regret that this seems to be the one way to make money without shelying off into the Hassan sort of thing...
