Scientist Bombed. When two of Chang's airplanes flew over Peking early in the week, dropping bombs at random, their pilots little suspected that one bomb exploded within 20 feet of Roy Chapman Andrews, discoverer of the first dinosaur eggs known to moderns, chief of the American Museum of Natural History's division of Asiatic exploration. Mr. Andrews had wisely leaped beneath a box car when the airplanes soared into view, and was not among the five persons killed (all Chinese). Emerging from his impromptu shelter, he continued to supervise the loading of the car with scientific paraphernalia...
...Murdock is talking in English 33 on Edgar Allen Poe in Harvard 2, while Wordsworth will be Professor Lowes' subject in subject in English 28 at the same time in Sever 11. Poe has had a strange fate since the war, his letters and his table talk and his random jottings have received immoderate attention. It will not be long before he will be recognized more widely as being one of our great romantics. And besides. Poe was once expelled from college.

If the Committee does not know the particular fault of the student, the work is entirely at random. If it does, the work is more to the point, but somewhat out of its proper setting in the student's mind. In no case does he know, except by conjecture, on what occasion, how, and in the opinion of what instructor, he committed his mistakes...
...horn. So, thought Chicago's school superintendent, William McAndrew, should those supporting public education be permitted to ladle out a sample of the educational pot and try it to see if the contents have taste, body, zest, quality. Last week he caused 40 eighth-grade pupils, picked at random, to be assembled at desks on the stage of Fullerton Hall at Chicago's Art Institute. He brought together 500 school principals and invited citizens to be audience for the exercises. He chose seven "appraisers" to sit in judgment. He prevailed on a group "who admit themselves...
