Lately there had been evidence that this breach is healed. In the early Fall Professor Frankfurter was a week-end guest at Hyde Park and everyone seemed happy and friendly at that time. Also there has been no dimunition in the stream of Bright Young Men which the Professor propels toward Washington, and Mr. Frankfurter's advice is again eagerly sought by the President, it is understood on good authority...
...Ph.D., of Baylor University, Dallas, Texas, reported that they had healed 55 out of 60 peptic ulcers by giving the patients two-thirds of a grain of powder, ground" from dried pituitary glands of cattle, to sniff four times a day. Injections of pituitary extract directly into the blood stream were tried at first, but they caused disagreeable reactions. Inhalation resulted in slower absorption, no unfavorable reactions...
Theory of treatment: pituitary powder speeds up activity of the blood stream, stimulates metabolism (tissue change) and thus brings about quick healing of raw surfaces. Stomach pains disappeared in many cases at the end of four days, said the doctors, and within a month X-ray examinations showed that the ulcers had disappeared...
...tercentenary address in 1936 President Conant classified the "general educational stream of the liberal arts" and the "cultivation of learning for its own sake" as two of the essential ingredients of the university tradition. The parallel between the thinking of these two educators is furthered by the fact that Dr. Conant has repeatedly emphasized his belief that teaching and research are inseparable...
Professor Fermi found them by bombarding uranium with a stream of neutrons (tiny particles which weigh about the same as a proton or hydrogen nucleus but have no electric charge). His bombarding neutrons slipped into the hearts of the uranium atoms, forming an unstable new element, ckarhcuium-No. 93. Similarly, in 1936, Dr. Fermi created a few atoms of ckaosmium-No. 94. Some of his other discoveries about neutrons: Having no electric charge, neutrons are not affected by the negative electric field outside an atom or by the positive charge on its nucleus. The only thing that stops them...
