...specific gravity and total volume to be determined. But the only method of studying the effects of centrifugal force was to whirl cells in a tube, then remove them and see what had happened. Alfred Lee Loomis, a New York banker (Bonbright & Co.) who has a private laboratory at Tuxedo Park, and Dr. Edmund Newton Harvey of Princeton University devised a microscope through which cells could be studied as they whirled.

...Banker Loomis are old collaborators. Two years ago they devised a chronograph to record the speed and variation of human heart beats over long periods. They have developed an ultra-rapid micro-cinema camera which photographs the "death" of cells when attacked by intense sound waves. In his Tuxedo Park laboratory Mr. Loomis has experimented for years with "super sound" waves, too rapid for the human ear to detect, which kill fish, paralyze mice, sterilize blood (TIME, Feb. 6, 1928). But electricity and physics are only a pastime with him. In 1920, with Landon K. Thome, he revivified Bonbright...
...entertaining tale of espionage and of resourcefulness in the conduct of a little advertised but important part of the war machine.

...also planned the normal school at New Britain, Conn., the new State Teachers' College at Trenton, N. J., nine others elsewhere. Among his 56 high schools are those of Greenwich (Conn.). Newark, Great Neck (L. I.), New Rochelle (N. Y.), the George Fisher Baker Memorial High School at Tuxedo Park, N. Y. He has also built eleven junior high schools, six vocational schools, one reformatory. Builder Betelle does not claim to have made striking innovations in educational plant design, but if a town wants a school built his firm has plenty of experience with which to recommend itself. From...
