...without first dealing with the practical problems involved and setting the necessary conditions that could be terribly dangerous to Harvard's future. If several price tags-- retaining tutorial, faculty-student ratio, comparatively small classes, adequate library facilities, and the like--are not attached to expansion, many "Harvard excellencies" may disappear before they are missed, to be regretted only after they are irretrievable...
...soon developed that Japanese B is transmitted to humans by the bite of a mosquito, Culex tritaeniorhynchus. Only the females are venomous bloodsuckers; the gentle males stick to flower nectar. All well and good, but mosquitoes disappear in winter. Where did they fill up with encephalitis virus in the early summer to pump it into humans? The answer was an animal, no doubt, with seasonal habits-one easily infected with the virus but not made seriously ill or killed by it. That pointed to young animals, which would promptly develop antibodies. The only creatures that fitted these specifications were birds...
World University Service is another student-oriented group that made a record haul immediately after the war, and then began to disappear from student checkbooks.

Personal solicitations netted WUS $23,000 in one year. By contrast, last year's Combined Charities Drive gave the group only...
...palatable. But apparently no one did, and Mr. Blitzstein's creation remains a confusing hodge-podge of unsatisfying songs and dances. He seems almost wholly innocent of a sense of logical progression from scene to scene.

...decided on the basis of preliminary evidence that Rodney and Charles were, indeed, identical twins. (He will not be positive until the grafts have been given enough time to take. Normally, because the skins of different individuals have biological differences, grafts from one person to another wither and disappear within 30 to 60 days, although they have temporary value as a protective covering.) The twins were wheeled into separate operating rooms. Surgeons took from Charles' thighs and lower legs twelve strips two in. wide, 12 to 14 in. long and thirteen-thousandths of an inch thick, grafted them...
