W1111am Humble Eric Ward, 3rd Earl of Dudley, is a spruce widower of 44 who sports a mustache arid has a huge fortune founded upon the British iron and steel industry. Fourteen years ago the Earl of Dudley arrived in the U. S. as equerry to the Prince of Wales. Two years ago the Earl visited the U. S. in a futile attempt to get the U. S. steel industry to join the European Steel Cartel. Last week the Earl of Dudley once more sailed into New York Harbor on the same errand...
...Eric Cutler's doctors have finally forbidden him to swim for the rest of this year, so the Varsity will have to wait awhile for the services of the holder of the Freshman 220 and 440 records. Hal Ulen, Gil Bettman, and Jim Curwen are all holding their breath to see if the two latter will get off pro. With Curwen around, it's possible that a few records may fall in the 440-yard open relay. And it's possible even if he isn't around, if Dons Barker and McKay, Will Kendal and Charlie Hutter...

"The Jewish problem is an old one here, and it is a Rumanian tragedy. Briefly, we have far too many Jews...
Some weeks ago George Eric MacDonnell Jauncey got a hunch that the X-particle was originally an ordinary electron whose mass had somehow been increased. He imagined what would happen if a high-energy cosmic ray photon struck an electron in the upper atmosphere. Most of the transferred energy would simply give the electron a high-velocity kick. But some of it might be converted into matter which the electron would absorb, increasing its mass. The increase might be any amount at all, depending on the initial energy of the cosmic ray and the variable quantity of matter produced...
Born 50 years ago in Australia, George Eric MacDonnell Jauncey arrived in the U. S. in 1914, studied at Lehigh, joined the Washington University staff in 1920. He likes detective stories and P. G. Wodehouse, is the author of some 75 technical articles and of Modern Physics, a popular college textbook. He realizes quite well the need for further checking of his findings. "I'm out on a limb now," he said philosophically last week. "I hope this thing stands up." He also said that he had got his original hunch while reading TIME'S story...
