...Republican Repealer. Prime example of the advance-flank Wet was furnished last June when New Jersey Republicans nominated Dwight Whitney Morrow, Ambassador to Mexico, for the U. S. Senate (TIME, June 30). Until he opened his primary campaign, Mr. Morrow had no public record on Prohibition. In his first address he declared for repeal of the 18th Amendment and return of the question to the States. Unlike numerous Wet demagogs in both parties who feast publicly on the bones of Dry mistakes, he did not rant and roar against Prohibition. He discussed it with cool-headed dispassion and dignity...
...Machines. Just before he left Mexico City last week, Ambassador Morrow delivered a farewell address in which he said: "It is too often assumed that scientific inventions prevent misunderstanding. Machines, however, do not understand each other. Man may make a perfect machine but it will still depend upon man himself whether the machine shall be an instrument of understanding or misunderstanding...
...soft drinks or to make sandwiches for the drug store trade." True Portrait. To offset the impression which the cinema, college publications and "the genial cynicism or barbed criticism of editorial comment in journals of opinion" create about college life, President Ernest Martin Hopkins of Dartmouth in his convocation address gave his idea of the academic scene.

...address given by Charles Evans Hughes at the one hundredth anniversary of the Rhode Island Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa is especially interesting in the light of recent developments at Harvard. Dealing with the subject of college from the standpoint of both student and educator, the Chief Justice declared: "We may at times overestimate what can be accomplished in the few years of college training, and there are not wanting those who in their zeal to dignify and extend college work forget that college is made for man and not man for college . . ." Striking against attitudes of indifference, intolerance...
Enough Wheat. Head of B. A. A. S. for 1930 was dignified Frederick Orpen Bower, 74, Regius professor of botany in the University of Glasgow. Contrary to the custom of B. A. A. S. presidents whose addresses usually last long enough to sum up the entire scientific field, Professor Bower limited his inaugural address to a review of the last 30 years' work in botany. Sir William Crookes (radiometer, Crookes' tube) told a meeting of the British Scientific Association in 1898 that, taking into consideration acre yield and population growth, wheat would be scarce enough in 30 years...
