...regarding admission shall be made in advance. Members of 1936, therefore, cannot be told until after April 15th whether or not they may be admitted to a particular House. All that the Masters or their representatives can do until that date is to learn of a man's desires, explain to him what rooms are available, and give him general information and advice...
...explain radio, among other natural phenomena, physicists have imagined a stretchy blanket of ions encasing the Earth. This is the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer, named after Harvard's Bombay-born Professor Arthur Edwin Kennelly and England's late (1850-1925) Oliver Heaviside, bookstore keeper who for amusement invented mathematical forms to describe the behavior of alternating currents. Radio waves are presumed to reflect from the Layer much as light beams reflect from a mirror. Estimates place the Layer at 50 to 250 mi. from Earth's surface and picture it as roughly spherical.* At night the Layer shrinks...
...Harry B. Maris, observing radio signals one day, noticed that they came with an unaccountable time lag. He could explain the lag by supposing that the radio waves were reflected from a layer of ions 1,300 mi. high. If his supposition was valid, the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer was not a pulsating spheroid, but a spheroid with one axis pushed out to make a shape much like that of a standard X-ray tube, with Earth & its inhabitants at the centre. The distances from the Earth's magnetic poles to the ends of the '"tube" would be about...
With such empirical data in mind, Dr. Turck projected a rational theory to explain the mechanisms of shock, infection (especially of lungs and digestive system), protein poisoning, some allergies, focal infections, vaccines...
