...George W. Goddard, whose color cameras capable of making pictures at 15,000 ft. altitude and 200 m.p.h. are revolutionizing air reconnaissance. In the army arsenal at Springfield, Mass., is Consulting Engineer John C. Garand, whose semiautomatic, 30-round-per-minute shoulder rifle will, by its increased firepower, vastly affect infantry practice (and increase the hazards of the U. S. and all armies). On paper in the War Department, and partially worked out in the field, is a new infantry division, halved from the present strength of 22,000 into a more compact, harder-hitting unit combining infantry, ground reconnaissance...

Last week it was also seen that the July 1937 sunspot peak preceded...
Because he was born in an American community, the graduate is as much responsible to it as his thought and action affect it. Upon his job he imposes the ideas he has formulated in college, and if he has an altruistic interest in his country's future, he will try to use his education so that it benefits the place in which he works. For many graduates the process of translating education into practical terms, which makes it useful to society, can be most wisely done in their home community. It is ideal that when ready to enter the business...
