Life is, after all, shadows in a shadow world. The concrete of today is the worm food of tomorrow. Here in the cloistered clusters of the University the status quo deceives. Some sanguine to another says, "At last the permanent--the permanent." He taps Lis pipe upon the steps of Widener and is one with time, with eternity...
There is more to a photographic competition than meets the casual eye.

...Advancement of Science, a pale, cheerful, young man, stood upon the platform of the august Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford last week and remarked: "The state of fishing has, I believe, been said to exist when there is a fool at one end of a string and a worm at the other. . . ."

The encysted [cased] larva is the infecting stage, found in the uncooked or poorly cooked pork. When eaten, the cysts are destroyed by the digestive juices, and in two or three days the adult worm develops; the male impregnates the female and then dies. In from six to ten days, the embryos are discharged from the uterus of the female worm into the lumen [passageway...
