Calcium. Dr. Weston A. Price of Cleveland reported data furthering scientific knowledge of the effect of the ultraviolet ray in aiding calcium assimilation (bone growth). This knowledge, already applied to the treatment of rickets, definitely relates influenza epidemics with city smoke-palls; definitely benefits gravid women, who, according to the old rule, sacrificed "a tooth for every child...
...Within the next year or so," Professor W. H. Weston, Assistant Professor of Botany, told a CRIMSON reporter yesterday, "I hope that I shall have been able to put into a systematic form the large amount of material which I have collected during the past eight years, and thus make possible a clear and inclusive study of the various fungi which have proved so destructive to crops, particularly in Oriental countries, and whose precise nature and habits have until very recently been but little known. By comparing the material gained from all over the world we hope to gain...

Then I could study the mildews all night until the sun began to rise when spores would gradually cease to be produced." Professor Weston said that perhaps the most extraordinary thing of all was that when he had left the Philippines he found that the same thing took place at practically the same hours in similar fungi which were attacking crops in Minnesota and Florida...

...good courses which are just no good at all for an eccentric vagabond because they themselves are long wanderings through deserts of text. There comes an oasis, though, in every desert, a context in every text, witness Italian 2. Ariosto is about to be encountered by Professor Weston and this morning's lecture in Sever 5 will deal with him as an epic writer and not as an introduction to the Italian language. And besides, Sever 5 is on the first floor...
