...Zwicky has been specializing for several years in the study of supernovae or "new stars" which explode with such violence that they probably cease to exist as ordinary stellar bodies. According to the Zwicky theory they coalesce into dense globes of neutrons (electrically inert particles...
That Margaret Countess of Holland bore 365 children at once 600 years ago no one believes. No incontestable records of the phenomenon exist. Even Canada's honest Elzire Dionne might have been called a backwoods impostor if one or more of the Quintuplets had died and been disposed of before photographers got there to record the scene. But at Liverpool, England, Mrs. George Taylor of Purgin Street took no such chances when last May she felt that she might set some sort of nativity record. She had herself Xrayed, and sure enough she was carrying quadruplets...
...obvious difference between clothing and farm products is that for the latter, more or less open national markets exist. Men's and boys' suits, made under widely varying conditions in different parts of the country, have no easily determined market price.

And in addition the University would have admitted the failure of a large portion of the House Plan and would have found a much less desirable substitute. If dances are left in student hands John Harvard will be able to get along without the help...
More intelligent criteria exist than mere publication. With it should be weighed that kind of scholarship "personally communicated" through lecturing and tutoring. The probable future attainment of candidates for promotion should be considered even more than what they have accomplished. In seeking the liberal road, Harvard has set up the ideal of academic freedom--of having a variety in method and point of view. But despite the President's interest three years ago in labor economics, Harvard has had a paucity of labor instruction in the past decade. It is evident that a sound promotions policy requires a grasp...
