Enders tried again. Drs. Alice Woodruff and Ernest Goodpasture of Vanderbilt University had recently given virology (and vaccination) a big boost with the discovery that some viruses grow well in incubating eggs. Enders put fluid from a measles patient into eggs, but had no luck. Searching for a better medium, he turned his attention to embryonic tissue culture, sensing that growing viruses in live cells-the technique that Harrison pioneered-held unrealized possibilities...
Perhaps the performance erred to the other extreme, for it emphasized the somberness of the text at the expense of its pain. Accompanist Marian Whitney was wooden and occasionally bumbling. The solo varied from Lila Woodruff's supple Vidit suum dulcem natum to Sharon Price's tentative, poorly-pitched Fac, ut portem Christic mortem; Gay Sa'adah and Phyllis Sogg performed quite capably...

But these good people were often forced to compete with the instrumentalists who were accompanying them. I was particularly impressed by Lila Woodruff's clear and completely unaffected reading of the soprano aria, Quia respexit, which she accomplished by completely ignoring a jarring accompaniment by a very poorly tuned oboe d'amore...

The Gondoliers in the spring could not match it, but the singing of Lila H. Woodruff '60 and Stephen Tamkin added greatly to the over-all enjoyment...
...flapped open, fell out of the B-47. Somehow Kulka managed to catch hold of something-he cannot remember what it was-and hung on for his life in the empty bomb bay in the whistling wind. Back in the flight cabin, Koehler heard a rumble, and Copilot Charles Woodruff idly noticed a shock wave radiating on the ground. "Just like a concussion wave from a bomb," Woodruff told himself. Then, with a shock, he realized what had happened. Captain Koehler closed the bomb-bay doors and reported to his flight leader: "This is Garfield 13. I am aborting...
