...bulk of the evidence points to microparasites as the probable cause of sarcomas and carcinomas,'' says Dr. Erwin F. Smith, chief plant pathologist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and Vice President of the American Association for Cancer Research...
Common colds are infectious and are probably due to an ultramicroscopic germ. These are the findings of Dr. Peter K. Olitsky and Dr. J. E. McCartney, of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, after four years of experiments on human volunteers. Filtered washings from the noses of cold sufferers were injected into healthy persons, who promptly developed colds, which were in turn transmissable. The causative germ could not be seen, although cultures were grown from the secretions of 40 patients. Either the germ is so small that it cannot be seen through the most powerful magnification (about 1,500 times...

Place in Science. Dr. Steinmetz was not essentially an inventor like Edison, and his name is associated with few specific devices. He was probably the greatest authority in America on electrical theory and engineering mathematics. His special fields of research included synthetic geometry, vector analysis, alternating current, phenomena magnetics and hysteresis, dielectrics, transients and electrochemistry. But he had the knack of interpreting highly technical subjects to laymen, and wrote many popular scientific articles and books, besides no less than nine standard works on electrical theory and mathematics. He was past President of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers...
...popularly known as the best loved man in Northern Europe. He was born in 1866 in Helsingland and educated at the University of Upsala, of which he has been pro-Chancellor since 1914.

At the University of Paris in 1901 he was the first Swedish student to secure a Ph.D. degree there. Archbishop Soderblom served as rector of the Swedish Church in Paris from 1894 to 1901, when he returned to become a professor...
