...study of the first rank. From the opening lecture of the elementary course to the end of the most advanced course for professionals, the student must exercise his imaginative muscles. He must think in terms of huge masses, largely or wholly invisible; of gigantic forces at work; of the flow of time, measured in millions of years; of a time scale affecting the whole basis of his philosophy. Geology is a leader among those college studies, which automatically build up the imaginative faculty. This science has long been prominent in Harvard College, not only because it is interesting, but also...
...satisfying minimum requirements in state or endowed institutions, which they represent, some such institution as the Junior College is necessary. Giving a two-year course and an A. A. degree it should be a unit in itself and not merely a step toward a professionalized college. Into it would flow that lower third in private colleges and that lower half in state colleges who usually drop out after the first two years anyway under the present system and who are adapted to further general education beyond high school but who are not as assailable in the four year arts college...

The surgeon sticks a hollow needle into the pleural cavity of the tubercular lung and lets some air, oxygen or nitrogen flow in. The lung collapses. He increases the pressure of the gas against the flaccid lung. This squeezes tubercular secretions out into the windpipe, like toothpaste out of a tube; and the patient expectorates. The pressure also brings healing blood to the lung, and after a time the sputum ceases to carry...
...call to feel ashamed. Premier Poincaré and Minister of Justice Barthou have made history and then clapped it in scholarly fashion between covers. Foreign Minister Briand has to his credit an authoritative volume on the separation of Church and State. Books of travel, natural history and biography flow incessantly from the pen of Minister of Education Herriot, whose Madame Recamier has attained moderate sale in the U. S.* Minister of Public Works Tardieu is known for his America in Arms. The Izaak Walton of the Cabinet is Minister of Colonies Perrier, who has brought forth two books on fishing...
