Died. Dr. Charles Norris, 67, famed, sardonic, goat-bearded, public-spirited Chief Medical Examiner of New York City; of coronary cirrhosis following acute dysentery; in Manhattan. Hoboken-born, educated at Yale "Sheff," Columbia, Kiel, Göttingen, Berlin and Vienna, he taught pathology, became director of the Bellevue Hospital laboratories, was appointed Chief Medical Examiner by Mayor Hylan in 1918. He battled for pure food laws, fought against quack doctors, Prohibition, insanitary restaurants, pronounced on many a suicide and murder that perplexed police, made his name and detective work known in medico-legal circles the world over. Underpaid...
Even if the colleges were not interested in the ability to learn as well as the ability to think, English alone would be no criterion. Many a Sheff student who gets high marks will tell us that literary ability is by no means a universal standard...
...Yale's unstable society, it is obvious that the Classes are too large to attain any considerable unity of spirit. In Yale College, the Classes average near 550. The Freshman Year approximates 850. In addition Ac and Sheff are unfortunately separated by the insurmountable barriers of one or two blocks of administration buildings. Consequently, no one knows a quarter of the men in his Class. There is little Class, spirit, little incentive to stay around week-ends and to organize scrub teams. It is apparent that the House Plan by breaking up these unwieldy units will go far towards recouping...
...Boola, Boola, or vice versa .... Yale, incidentally, seems to have solved the problem that has bothered some of its teams in years which have not yet faded far into memory. Reports, perhaps not wholly true, have explained the ineffectiveness of the Elis in their objective games on account of Sheff vs. "Ac." squabbles in the backfield. Coach Stevens this year has his "A" backfield, of Booth, Muhlfeld, Beane, and Dunn, made up solely of scientific school men, while the "B" backfield is made up entirely of students from the academic college--Parker, Taylor, McLennan, and Snead .... Once again, Michigan...
...Certainly Yale will never again be subjected to the division which took place with the formation of the Scientific School as a separate school, and certainly Yale has not been extremely conscious that their separation has been an aggravating divisive factor. Initial pride in both the College and Sheff, still centers around the word "Yale," and the old succession of affections--university, class, society--still holds. There is no reason to believe, therefore, that the residential halls will injure a tradition which has withstood greater changes before. Yale is too vital a being to entertain these thoughts as even remote...
