Uniformity. The general desire for uniform state laws found expression in several recommendations of the Association. The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform Siate Laws was ordered to draft a law, to be presented to the state legislatures, providing for a scientific treatment of criminals. The statute is to grant psychiatric service for all criminals, and before any criminal is sentenced for a felony in which the judge has any discretion as to the sentence, a psychiatrist report must be filed as part of the court record. Until such a report is filed no felon is to be released. Resolutions...
...women took time to display themselves at Chicago. The big affair of the week was the Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons, whose Fellows include all the 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.

...were not. The three-column "Stunt Riot at Harvard" headline of a Boston paper last Thursday led a story that deliberately over-emphasized one incident of the initiations until there appeared to be a race-riot seething under the surface at Harvard Square. The bold-face story on "Kindergarten Treatment" in another paper yesterday related a mild disciplinary action such as has often occurred in English 2, and is utterly without importance outside of the classroom. Thus far the freedom of the instructor to conduct his classes has been recognized by University Hall, and there is no reason...
