Ever since botanists knew that sap was carried from the roots of a tall tree to the leaves at its top they have wondered what force was responsible for this transportation. One theory held was that pressure in the roots acted as a pump from below. The trouble with this was that no pressures could be measured higher than 1.4 atmospheres, which would not do for trees taller than 46 feet. Lately accepted as the most satisfactory explanation is the cohesion theory, in which it is supposed that suction created at the top by evaporation is transmitted through a cohering...
...Institute's Princeton laboratories took a long stride toward solving the problem, and incidentally spilled much wind from the sails of the cohesion theorists, by announcing that he had found enormous pressures in the roots of tomato plants-pressures high enough to serve tomato plants hundreds of feet tall. The trouble with previous pressure experiments, it appeared, was that they were made on dead or dying roots. At Princeton, Dr. White has an apparatus which keeps detached roots alive indefinitely by supplying them with nutrient fluid. When he attached glass tubes carrying columns of mercury to his tomato roots...
...delegates heard messages from President Roosevelt. John L. Lewis, and Minnesota's Governor Elmer A. Benson, got an official welcome from Vassar's tall, tolerant Henry Noble MacCracken. They were bedded in Main Hall, the men in one wing, girls in another. In the corridors between the two wings the college had prudently stationed watchmen.

Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo's niece Nancy (Swarthmore), Law Professor Felix Frankfurter's niece Ruth (Barnard), famed Lawyer Samuel Untermyer's grandson Frank (Cornell). Absent were...
Although shadowed by Lupien and Lutz in scoring, Lowman and Herrick along with Captain Vernon Struck were outstanding on the defense. The tall Crimson center was "pinched" under the Dartmouth basket, but proved invaluable in grabbing the ball off his own back-board, while Lowman held Bob McLoed, Indian threat, to five points...
