Other Nobel Prizes awarded last week (by the Swedish Academy of Science) were three: 1) The 1928 Physics Prize (delayed) to Professor Owen Willans Richardson of King's College, London, for research into the movements of electrons emanating from hot bodies. His discovery of "Richardson's Law" gave other scientists important clues which led to the invention of the electron-actuated radio tube; 2) the Prize in Chemistry for 1929, to be divided between Dr. Arthur Harden of London University and Professor Hans von Euler-Chelpin of Upsala University, Sweden, for their joint research on the enzyme action...

Artist Robinson first concerned himself with medium-what to paint with, what on. He decided on canvas because he could then work anywhere and the murals, when finished, could be easily moved about. He then asked himself what paint had had the benefit of most research and chemical improvement. Obviously, automobile-paint. He hired a workshop, made sketches in pen, pencil, paint. Models of every race and color trooped in and out. The better to understand three-dimensional space he first modelled his groups so that he could look down upon their heads and look behind them to find what...
...Social Science Building (TIME, May 27). In the Haskell Museum, housing the Oriental Institute's work, upon which much Chicago money is lavished, was exhibited the archaeological reseasch of Professor James Henry Breasted, whose red-bound ancient history many a school must study. Through its local Community Research Committee, the University makes its closest contact with the city. In the research committee's workshop were shown compilations of information of education, commerce, government,? labor, vice and the gangsterism for which Chicago is ill-famed, to which the University is a standing, striving antidote...
