Research in science and engineering is the backlog of the productive industries. Chemists, physicists, metallurgists, some biologists, and engineers will find several types of positions open to them depending somewhat upon the nature and extent of their training. Some of the largest industrial companies devote a part of their laboratories to fundamental research on basic scientific problems. Here are openings for the Ph.D., in chemistry, particularly, to engage in pure scientific investigation unhampered by the pressure of the management for commercially profitable results on short order. Men for this work must be outstanding as independent investigators...
...opportunity in radio companies and in geophysical research for the oil companies. Industry appears not to have fully awakened to the possibilities of physical research, but the awareness is gaining slowly. Metallurgists are in demand from the steel companies when business is good, and the demand for these men somewhat exceeds the supply of them at present. Biological research is a function of the pharmaceutical companies, and the rubber, sugar, and fruit industries particularly. An advanced degree is almost essential to research in this field, and some of the opportunities require a willingness to locate in the tropics...
...UNDERSTAND WHAT TROTSKY AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE DRIVING AT WHEN THEY ALLY THEMSELVES WITH MR. HITLER AND OTHERS IN A FRANTIC ATTEMPT TO UPSET THE RUSSIAN APPLECART AT ANY COST. OF COURSE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE RUSSIAN TRIALS WERE QUITE AS PHONEY AS TIME WITH PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE IF SOMEWHAT UNINFORMED PREJUDICE SUGGESTS, AND IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE IF STALIN AND THE ENTIRE SOVIET GOVERNMENT WERE MURDERED AND THE U.S.S.R. BLASTED INTO DEMORALIZED CONFUSION AND THE UKRAINE GIVEN TO NAZI GERMANY AND CERTAIN CONCESSIONS MADE TO FASCIST JAPAN WHICH WOULD ASSIST...
...smashed his pontoons in landing. Unable to get a new pair at once, he set out to make them himself, ended up by building a whole new plane in a one-room factory with 30 employes. It turned out so well that the Army asked for some like it. Somewhat to his own surprise, Bill Boeing agreed to make them. When the Armistice abruptly killed all military contracts, the little enterprise would have died too had not resourceful Bill Boeing set his men to work making furniture...
...your interesting editorial regarding the weaknesses of stringent residence requirements for a Bachelor's degree, you might have greatly strengthened your case by referring to Chicago's example. Chicago graduates would have reason to be somewhat amused at this concern over a three-year residence requirement; since 1934, at least four students have satisfied the A.B. requirements at Chicago in two years (six quarters) or less, there have been a number of cases of students receiving the degree in three years (nine quarters or less and excellent students rarely expect to be forced to spend four years (twelve quarters) working...
