...assistant directorship of the Carnegie Institution station for Experimental Evolution at Washington (resigned 1922), from a research association at Harvard Medical School (resigned 1921 and again 1925), from the presidency of the University of Maine (resigned 1925), and from the presidency of the University of Michigan (resigned last spring). Last week the mice were at Bar Harbor, Me., in the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory for Cancer Research, of which Dr. Little has taken charge.

...laconic as his prose, he is fond of bullfighting, fishing, winter sports. Once he entered the bull ring himself, emerged with several ribs broken. Besides his two novels he has written two books of short stones (In Our Time, Men Without Women'), a satiric novelette (The Torrents of Spring). He is by no means "litr'ry" in talk or thought, but his writer friends include Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, Thornton Niven Wilder...
