Adrenal Glands are two small yellowish bodies, shaped like cocked hats, which fit tightly on top of each kidney. Each gland has three general parts-a coating of fibrous material, a centre (the medulla) and between the two a cortex (inner bark, as it were).

These women had been in the employ of the university for periods ranging from thirty-three years to two. Harvard University is a vast business corporation employing hundreds of wage earners, excluding faculty members. Its ruthlessness in this case might perhaps be laid to our present industrial organization. But what are we to think when President A.
