...Trumpler of California's Lick Observatory, who produced photographs taken during a solar eclipse showing stars near the sun's rim appar-ently displaced from their true position. The other statement was that light moving against a gravitational field should be "stretched" by the strain-i. e. suffer an increase of wavelength, which should displace spectrum lines toward the red (long wavelength) end. Thus, light winging away from a heavy star should show a definite redshift. Obstacle to confirmation was that another and unrelated spectrum shift existed (the Doppler effect), due to the motion of the star away...
Liver Extract for Pneumonia. People who suffer from pernicious anemia can keep well by 1) eating ten pounds of liver a month at a cost of about $5.50. 2) swallowing $17 worth of liver extract a month, or 3) taking one hypodermic injection of liver concentrate a month. The concentrate costs $1.17 a dose, not counting the doctor's bill. Dr. William Parry Murphy of Boston, who won one-third of a Nobel Prize for his discoveries concerning pernicious anemia, last week stressed the little known point that liver also stimulates the growth of white blood corpuscles. Therefore, said...
...sign indeed, but not one in which any of the various authors seems overconfident of conquering, and under which most of them suffer acute forebodings of defeat. To my mind, the most startling revelation of these productions is not to what extent the thoughtful undergraduate has become preoccupied with the fate of society, but the all-too-ominous mood which this concern has evoked. Twenty or thirty years ago the occasional student who did devote himself to the issues of public life assumed beyond the shadow of a doubt that democracy was the goal toward which creation tended and that...
...feel that the seven minor sports involved in the new change will suffer greatly as the result of the alteration in personnel, and as a result of the curtailed finances. In view of the small salary coaches for our teams will receive in future, it will be impossible to secure men as good as those of the present staff...
...participating in crew, baseball, or hockey, yet in each of these sports the deficit is larger than in fencing, cross-country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, wrestling, and boxing combined. The mere facts that the sports which are being continued are major sports is no reason why the minor sports should suffer for a deficit which the major sports have incurred as well. The number of men competing in the three major sports mentioned (competing in intercollegiate competition) is less than 2 per cent of the students in college, and less than one half the number of those participating in intercollegiate competition...
