...last few years, loud have been the critics-both faculty and student-about the way Dr. Conant handles men. One after another, popular young teachers have been fired, from Economics Instructors John Raymond Walsh and Alan R. Sweezy two years ago to Art Instructor Robin D. Feild last spring. Basic reason for the firings was a slump in Harvard's income from its investments, resulting in a tighter budget. But facultymen complained that President Conant was a budget autocrat, that he used a slide-rule formula in dealing out money to the various departments. Students grumbled because they believed...
Swarthmore's smart President Frank Aydelotte has the special and delicate job of looking after 96 of the best young brains in the U. S.-the Rhodes Scholars. After war was declared last month, Dr. Aydelotte (U. S. secretary for the scholarships) lost no time in calling his precious charges home from Oxford (TIME, Sept. 18). Last week not only Dr. Aydelotte but a solicitous nation demonstrated how much it prized Rhodes scholarship...
...Editor Frank Crowninshield that he had just found the ideal art director for his U. S. string of swank magazines. The latest candidate had clinched the job by the calm disdain with which he dismissed able, dapper Publisher Nast's theories on illustration and makeup. This Young Turk was in fact a young Turk, by name Mehemed Fehmy Agha. That was ten years ago.

Its "paeans with pictures from colleagues and disciples" demonstrated how great...
...village of towering, cream-brick buildings: Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.* Most extraordinary of the hospitals in this doctors' Mecca is the 14-story Neurological Institute, erected ten years ago through the heroic efforts of late, great Neurologist Frederick Tilney. Last year, after wielding an influence among devoted young neurologists second only to that of famed Harvey Gushing (see p. 60), Dr. Tilney died. As acting director, the trustees appointed modest Dr. Robert Frederick Loeb. Last week, warmhearted, diplomatic Tracy Putnam came down from Harvard to take Dr. Tilney's place...
Brain Waves. Chief of the Institute's brain-wave station is young, German-born Dr. Paul Frederick Adam Hoefer, who came from Boston with Dr. Putnam. Close kin to a sensitive short-wave radio is the electroencephalograph. Tiny lead electrodes are pasted to the patient's scalp. From the electrodes fine, threadlike wires lead to the machine which detects, through scalp and skull, faint electric brain impulses. A connected drum and ink recorder charts patterns. Normal frequency is ten shallow, rippling, regular waves a second. Abnormal brain waves, often running to 25 a second, show up as irregular...
