Cincinnati's president since 1929 had been Dr. Herman Schneider, also dean of the College of Engineering and Commerce, director of the School of Applied Arts and of the Institute of Scientific Research. Because of ill health, Dr. Schneider gave up the presidency last March as he had planned, kept his other jobs. The University board unanimously picked as his successor a small, kindly, 47-year-old man who for ten years as dean of Swarthmore College helped President Frank Aydelotte build up a famed system of honors work...

...explanation of this disparity lies in the Schneider Trophy which stimulated various governments (with the exception of the U. S. since 1926) to develop seaplane engines adapted to racing. These are cylinder-in-line machines of 2,600 h. p., perfectly streamlined. Such an engine may have a life of only one hour at top speed. Builders of landplanes, particularly in the U. S., have clung to radial engines of a few-hundred horsepower which, while they offer much more head resistance, are generally preferred for commercial and military flying. Such engines can fly great distances. Some observers believe that...

The event was the climax of last fortnight's meet at Cleveland. Eight swift planes started, among them Doolittle in the chunky, barrel-like Gee-Bee racer with an 800-h. p. Wasp in its fat nose, and the pilot's cockpit far back amid the fanlike tail surfaces. Another starter was minuscule "Jimmy" Haizlip who broke the transcontinental record last fortnight. Before the end of the race Doolittle, his eyes watery...
