...from being an apologist for eastern methods, Mr. Tunis offers for examination two educational systems exactly opposite in their ideals. By his juxtaposition and treatment of his subjects he intimates that one is as undesirable as the other, that the ideal university should not be characterized either by scholasticism or by modernism alone, but by a close correlation of the two. He adds weight to the recent lament of John Erskine in the "American Scholar" that colleges make no attempt to vitalize their inanimate culture with injections of modernity...
Copper-nickel alloys, said Dr. Paul Dyer Merica of International Nickel Co., are now prepared by heat treatment to stand a pull of 175,000 Ib. per sq. in., a tensile trength comparable to that of heat-treated steel...
When these facts are once pointed out, the reason for them will certainly be apparent. In the first place, there are fewer examinations to be taken; they can be rated from a different point of view, and can show, from the treatment a boy gives a subject, his power to handle information rather than to amass it.

...actual throwing that Dr. Bainbridge did last week was carried on in a much smaller theatre, with much smaller projectiles. His theatre was a huge mass-spectrograph; his projectiles, atoms. What earned him scientific plaudits rather than police treatment was the fact that his instrument was bigger than anything that had previously been developed in the U. S., could therefore compute relative weights which differed by less than one-trillionth of one-trillionth of an ounce...
