...this end is attained. Regarding the contemplated organization purely as an educational project, the Campus will welcome it as another instance of the interest in such ventures which has marked the University at other times. As it is developed here and elsewhere by the trial and error method, the "inner college" idea, which underlies the organization of the new School, may conceivably grow to rank with the preceptorial system and the four-course plan as an innovation of major importance in college education. The Campus appreciates the generosity of those friends of the University who have underwritten the expense...
Adrenal Glands are two small yellowish bodies, shaped like cocked hats, which fit tightly on top of each kidney. Each gland has three general parts-a coating of fibrous material, a centre (the medulla) and between the two a cortex (inner bark, as it were). The adrenals have the richest blood supply of any of the body parts. In proportion to their weight more blood pours through them in a given time than through any other organ. Their wholesome activity governs a person's entire health...
...some $100,000,000 worth of monumental benefactions, Edward Stephen Harkness will have two whole issues of Harvard's and Yale's comic magazines to carry his name down to posterity. Upon the announcement last year that he had given $13,000,000 to Harvard for an inner-college House Plan, the Lampoon bitterly denounced Donor Harkness as a destroyer of Old Harvard (TIME, Feb. 18, 1929).

Lawyers swung in and out of doorways bearing armfuls of documents. Typists rattled their keys with a triumphant staccato. In a high-ceiled inner room overlooking Trinity Church's grimy spire, an elderly man with thin white hair, a well-trimmed white beard parted in the middle, good solid shoulders and a small paunch, sat bolt upright in a stiff high-backed chair. The pivot of all the commotion, he was intensely busy?and intensely...
...expedition unearthed the mummy of Meryet-Amun, more than 3,000 years old, despoiled by robbers, but still in a decent state of preservation. Queen Meryet-Amun (1480-40 B.C.) died soon after her coronation. Her body was prepared and wrapped in many thicknesses of bandage. The inner coffin which covered her corpse was decorated, according to Egyptian ritual, with a replica of her body. On the forehead was the tenon hole which had held the stolen vulture-head coronet, symbol of queenly power. The outer coffin, masterpiece of joiner's art, at one time encased in gold sheets...
