...that remained of two resort hotels, the Belmont and the Malvern. The summer homes of Author Mary Roberts Rinehart, Conductor Walter Damrosch, the late Henry Morgenthau Sr. and scores of other wealthy people had burned as though they were built of butter pats and bacon rinds. U.S. cancer research had received a terrible blow. The red-brick Jackson Memorial Laboratory, with its irreplaceable records and 90,000 precious mice, which had been carefully inbred for generations to produce various manifestations of cancer, had been destroyed...
...expansion to a university began only two years ago, is still under way. Next door to its eight-year-old, Rockefeller-financed main building is its new Strang clinic (for prevention and early detection of cancer). Nearly finished: the $4,000,000 Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research. Also abuilding: a 300-bed municipal cancer hospital, which Memorial will operate. Among Memorial's ambitious plans: further additions, new equipment, a $200,000 Betatron (to be used for radiation treatments...

The Computations made by the machines would be published by the central bureau, and made available for reprint and distribution...
With Lamont Library still in the erector set stage, the failure of Widener as an undergraduate library must continue to irritate students for the majority of their college tenure. Widener was planned exclusively as a research institution and stumbles into a welter of malfunctions when trying to cope with college needs. These inefficiencies comes as a direct result of an unequal scramble for books between undergraduates and research students and a poorly organized circulation system. Until Lamont Library provides the answer to College reference work, an interim system emphasizing student requirements rather than those of the 1500 men holding stack...
...crux of Widener's inability to serve College students centers on the disproportionate amount of freedom granted men doing stack work. Unrestricted as to the number of books he may take into a stall, a research student is permitted to retire an essential text from service for an indefinite length of time. Although subject to recall, books scattered throughout the stalls and faculty offices are often impossible to track down. Men browsing through the stacks misplace large numbers of books, and stalls are outfitted with bookcases which admittedly encourage the acquisition of a private library...
