...great bacteriologist -Theobald Smith, "responsible for five or several more fundamental discoveries in bacteriology, protozoology and immunity"; the late Walter Reed, who "told us in essence nearly all we know about yellow fever today"; Frederick Fuller Russell, who "perfected and first employed typhoid vaccination on a large scale." Passing from particular to general, Professor Gay praised the rarely praised medical scientist. More than half the professors of anatomy, physiology, bacteriology and biochemistry are not, said he, medical men in the strict old-fashioned sense. This means "that the medical sciences are becoming increasingly autonomous and important in their general relations...
...expensive single rooms; in pursuance of the democratic ideal it wisely made fifth floor rooms as attractive as those below, but unfortunately not a few more expensive lower rooms consequently went untenanted. The University scarcely asked too much for what it offered; it simply launched the Plan on a scale of living which taxed the undergraduate pocketbook too severely.

Last one, in 1930, was in Carthage, where confusion of languages and races seemed to irk English-speaking visitors (TIME, May 19, 1930). For the 31st Congress, what...
...subject of House Rents has been drawn up by the Student Council, and placed in the hands of the Corporation. There is no doubt that it will give confirmation, if confirmation be needed, to the feeling that rents are excessive, and reveal an unbridgable gap between the present scale of prices and the post-depression pocketbook. No practicable juggling of suites, and no House Aid, will by themselves be adequate to the situation. A general scaling-down of prices, insofar as that is consonant with the financial obligations of the University itself, is clearly necessary. The Student Council's report...
