...with one of the biggest jackpots that has ever gushed from a scientist's laboratory. Dr. Waksman (rhymes with boxman) had become the discoverer of streptomycin, which ranks next to penicillin among the antibiotics and is the first of these "wonder drugs" to show hopeful results in the treatment of tuberculosis...
...department of microbiology is the brightest spot on the Rutgers campus at New Brunswick, N. J., and its chairman, Dr. Selman Waksman, is one of the world's top microbiologists. He has won for his university not only fame but fortune. Streptomycin for a 60-day course of treatment costs $60 to $80. A dozen chemical companies are turning out the new wonder drug, and for every gram (1/28 of an ounce) sold, Rutgers gets 2?. By last week, the university's harvest of pennies had reached more than...
Thus, most of the 21 buildings in Corn Products' $20 million sorghum processing plant, which was getting into full production last week, have no walls; some have no roofs either.

In general the treatment and care we received in our Mt. Auburn St. exile was very good-the nurses were plentiful and usually friendly and helpful. The ward was clean and the medical attention apparently competent. And so we naturally attributed the condition of the food, so out of step with the rest of the infirmary, to a lack of funds. But now that a surplus of $30,000 has been revealed, it is time that...
