...four Federated Malay States under British "protection," humid, sleepy Selangor is next to the smallest in area, out important because of its tin deposits. Originally the Malays were extremely virile. The Japanese people are descendants of Malay conquerors. Today the chief function of the impotent Malay Peninsula is to supply 40% of the world's tin. Enhanced is the Sultan of Selangor's glory by the fact that Kuala Lumpur, his Capital, serves as the Capital of the Federated Malay States, but this causes the Sultan to be under the thumb of His Britannic Majesty's High...
...himself capable of applying the same system to executives. Ever since he left the Browns in 1917 to become President of the Cardinals, Branch Rickey has been grooming a young assistant named William O. DeWitt, whom he sent through law school. In the Barnes syndicate, William O. DeWitt will function as the Browns' general manager.

Further, there seems to be a real stratification within the Department. It is possible to receive adequate instruction from the professors, who are relatively secure in their position and enjoy qualified independence. But the instructors and tutors, concentrators believe, are, by and large, unable or unwilling to fulfill that function which their title suggests. Back of this generality lies the crucial fact that the young men of the Department must drive themselves unceasingly toward goals in research if they wish to be reappointed. The type of student attracted to Physics, even more than the general run, is seriously intent upon...
