...good practitioners of the country. Attending members studied and discussed hospital improvement plans, cancer research, industrial surgery, treatment of fractures, eye-ear-nose-&-throat surgery, care of crippled children. Acrimonious was the discussion on hospitals. Charged William James Mayo: "I would call attention to the clandestine-if I may use so opprobious a term-method of increasing hospital income by exorbitant charges for the use of the operating room. . . ." Passionately retorted Director Warren Pearl Morrill of the Maine General Hospital, Portland: "If some surgeons would forego the pomp and circumstances demanded for their regal round of the wards, A remarkable...
...before the Senate's lobby committee, observers thought, seriously imperiled the whole tariff bill now before the Senate. Vague and generalized have been the charges heretofore that special interests exert special influence through lobbyists to obtain special tariff favors. Now opposition Senators were supplied with damning specifications for use in debate. Every tariff increase was suspect.

These openings will fill the rink with cold air during the night and once a good body of ice is formed it will be possible to hold this during any protracted thaw. This method of forming ice has been used successfully throughout Canada and in many rinks in this country...
...looking over the University's athletic equipment, however, there is one very obvious weak link, the Soldiers Field Locker Building. This fall the facilities have not been up to handling all the undergraduates who sought to use the building. It is hard to imagine a greater obstacle in the successful development of the athletics-for-all policy than insufficient facilities in such indispensable requisites as locker rooms, showers, etc. Dr. Richards and his assistants, the visiting teams, the coaches, not to mention all the minor sports and class athletic teams, would benefit from modern and enlarged quarters. We can hardly...
