...Drosophila melanogaster, the scientifically celebrated little fruit fly. It is by changes in these genes that evolution of different types of organisms takes place. But last week Dr. Millislav Demerec of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Genetics announced his opinion- based on careful research-that chromosomes contain one gene, which, by affecting all the genes, speeds up the rate of evolutionary change. It may be due to this single "pacemaker" gene that the evolution of higher organisms has required only hundreds of millions of years instead of billions, as it might have if organic changes had to wait...
...become increasingly clear that peace is not assured." In the mouth of anyone but the President of the United States, these words would constitute a magnificent understatement. But spoken by him, and addressed to London and Berlin via short wave, they contain far more than appears on the surface. And considered in the light of what has very recently become American public opinion, the President's entire treatment of foreign policy and defense in his annual message to Congress is pregnant with meaning...
Excavator Sachen also carried the big news to Mercy Hospital. But the doctors, not so receptive as the reporters, pooh-poohed the Kickapoo, sent Sachen home to his digging. Vermifuges are fine for dogs, they said, but the drugs they contain will not cure anemia and epilepsy. They doubted that Mylon had swallowed the marbles, or if he had, that they had remained in his stomach for five years. Small, hard objects are usually passed off within a day or two, explained patient Dr. Donnelly, as she ordered another bottle of slow, safe iron compound for still anemic Mylon...
Undoubtedly the worst feature of the present infirmary, however, is the startling fact that it does not contain observation wards. If no private rooms are available, students with undiagnosed ailments are put into a ward until their illness is diagnosed, and thus it is possible, though there are no traceable cases to date, to contract a complicating disease while trying to cure the original illness. On some occasions it is conceivable that a variety of contagious diseases might be found in one "observation" ward. On the basis of these and other facts, it seems that stillman needs such a thorough...
...fully large enough. If the infirmary was erected here, all the health facilities of the University would be unified; no longer would sick patients have a discouraging trek from 15 Holyoke Street to Stillman. The new infirmary would be infinitely superior to the present one and would obviously contain an isolation ward and the latest medical equipment...
