...Withal in the back of his mind was memory of distress. On his previous visit in 1921 and 1922 the U. S. medical profession had thrown such obloquy over him that for a time his good humor became only a mask. He had come to repay with his surgical skill the protection and aid U. S. munificence had afforded Austrian War-emaciated children. His method of correcting congenital deformity of the hip was "bloodless," that is, he did not use the knife. His procedure was scientific, although it differed from that of Dr. Edward Hickling Bradford,* surgeon, orthopedist and Dean...
...some 8,000 men have undergone this operation. Many of the operations were performed by Dr. Harry Benjamin of Manhattan. This young man (aged 41) is an imaginative surgeon.

...There is nothing specious in his enthusiasm for literature. It is not affected as decently due to his profession. Rather his love of letters preceded and informs his professional knowledge and skill with persuasive warmth. It would be a part of him whatever he did, and would communicate itself in ways superior to formal instruction. Colleges need such teachers. Liberal studies depend on them. And what is more needed, in college and beyond, that the spirit of those who have been enlightened by liberal studies...
Nevertheless enough of their shots were accurate to give Captain Cumings in the Harvard net plenty of opportunity to display his skill. It was the Crimson leader's last intercollegiate appearance on the ice, and it was largely due to him that the Cambridge rigging did not become fouled under Yale's insistent attack, which reached its height in the scoreless second stanza...
