...Robert Mearns Yerkes brought his famed apes, clapped them into a huge cage atop one wing of the building and continued to study ape behavior.

Then its 150 savants and their disciples donned white coats and set to work studying such things as crime, disease, unemployment, war depression, adolescents' speech defects, people's reactions...
Three years ago Dr. May and colleagues decided that if the study of human relations was to become a science, they should, like other scientists, find a hypothesis to unify their research, test it, eventually reduce it to mathematical formulae. Thereupon they formulated a tentative theory with 14 definitions, eight postulates and about a dozen theorems.

The Institute's scientists...
Last week at Santa Monica, Calif., Douglas Aircraft Co. test-flew a new ship, turned its back on the design trend which in the past five years has put low-wing monoplanes on every large domestic airline in the U.

In the air it showed a high speed of 248 miles an hour, a cruising speed of 203, far better than the conservative Douglas performance estimates. Pleased was Pilot Cover (who is in charge of sales) with other features of the ship; with no wing below them passengers...
