While the "stream of physical tendency throughout the universe is on the whole downward, toward disintegration and dissipation, the organic movement, on this planet at least, is upward, and life structures on the whole becoming more complex throughout the course of organic evolution. From the viewpoint of physics, life and mind are thus singular and exceptional phenomena, not in line with the movement of the universe as a whole. . . . Perhaps we may even say that at the Present epoch there is no other globe where life is at the level manifested on earth. ... I suggest that at the present cosmic...
...lively sideshow in U. S. education is Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla. Its barker: President Hamilton Holt. Famed freak: a course in Evil, taught by Professor of Evil Corra May Harris (TIME, Feb. 24, 1930). To the faculty of Rollins, reported Field & Stream last week, is soon to be added a Professor of Hunting & Fishing, who will teach the students "how to take the greatest possible pleasure from the wild ... to know the peace and beauty of woods and lakes where the game is abundant, to appreciate the dull loneliness of burned forests where all life has been killed...

...Significance- James Joyce, whether or not he intended to be, has been an authors' author. His cultivation of the "stream-of-consciousness" method, use of a wide-angled lens in picturing his landscapes, resulted in writing too hard for the general reader. Other authors have taken from Maestro Joyce a hint here & there, or have aped him slavishly for the precious few. Herr Doblin is the first to copy him on a large scale and for a wide audience. Perhaps only through such filters as Alexander platz will Joyce's strong waters be made potable to the public...
