...National Museum (Washington, D. C.), to notify him that he had been honored with the Huxley Memorial Medal? for 1927 and would be expected in London a year from November to deliver the 1927 Huxley lecture before the Royal Anthropological Institute. No U.S. scientist save Professor William Zebina Ripley of Harvard (in 1908) had been so honored. It was recognition, gratifying indeed, of Dr. Hrdlicka's whole career, and in particular of his earth-circling trip last year when he discovered a pure American Indian type among Asian aborigines; noted scattered strains of Negrito stock as far apart as India...

The Professor said that he did not see that there was much which the national government could do, as the stock is issued under state corporation laws...
Professor Ripley, he whose name has so recently cast terror into the heart of Wall Street, is to talk on pools and trade associations this morning in Economics 4b. His lecture, which will be in Emerson D at 11 o'clock, has besides the reputation of Professor Ripley the appeal of a subject which runs Arabic philology a close second in my ignorance, but which sounds vastly interesting...
