...scientist's holiday is to come out of his classroom or laboratory and discuss his specialty before a meeting of his peers. Groups of scientists met last week all through the land to discuss another year's developments in all manner of sciences. Astronomers pondered huge things at New Haven. Bacteriologists gossiped about small things in Cambridge. Geologists at Toronto heard greetings from President Hoover, himself a charter member of the Geological Society of America. Rheologists told at Easton, Pa. what news they knew of flowing liquids. Psychologists chatted in Iowa City of habits, instincts. In Manhattan psychiatrists...

Laney thought the new cosmic...
Fortnight ago, Robert Andrews Millikan, chairman of California Institute of Technology, put Science and Industry in their places in a speech to U. S. life insurance presidents (TIME, Dec. 22). Last week Scientist Millikan, speaking before a Manhattan meeting of Phi Beta Kappa alumni, related Science and the Humanities. Himself a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi (science honor society), he suggested that since modern science owes its beginnings to oldtime scholars of the humanities, the two branches of knowledge should come in closer contact today through a union of Phi Beta Kappa, scholastic society, and Tau Beta...
