...Swarthmore, Albert Einstein marched in the procession bareheaded, his great white mane gleaming in the sun. Reading without emotion from a six-page manuscript, Scientist Einstein told Swarthmore's graduates that failure of the modern world to develop a new morality to replace the declining influence of religion had resulted in "a serious weakening of moral thought and sentiment," in "the barbarization of political ways." The surrender of some European nations to "primitive animal instincts," said he, "if persisted in, will destroy civilization, religion and morality...
Sirs: May 23 Letters inexcusably maligns scientists, apropos their ready remarriage and hypothetical helplessness. Myself and scientist friends have built our own houses. We can do plumbing, carpentry, electric wiring and painting. We have sold merchandise, bought stock, and written copy. We raise vegetables and live stock as well as children; can cook, keep house and nurse the sick. Perhaps a few professors of now-scientific subjects are inept, but as for scientists, they look like hardware dealers, work like millwrights and catch on like columnists. We can prove this by cases at Berkeley and Stanford as well as here...
...humor. Just off the presses were two books-Methods of Tissue Culture by Raymond C. Parker-and Culture of Organs by Alexis Carrel and Charles A. Lindberghf-which formally presented to medicine the sum of Nobel Laureate Carrel's 40 years in science. More than any other man, Scientist Carrel has made it possible to study tissue and organs outside of their organisms, but alive. Just as Audubon's first scientific observations of living birds immeasurably advanced ornithology beyond the study of lifeless stuffed specimens, this new technique in physiology leaves classical anatomy and dissection far behind...
...velocity of electrons) when he was 26; Dirac mathematically deduced the existence of the positive electron when he was 28. Once a theorist has constructed a powerful new theory, he is likely to become fond of it and spend much energy polishing and protecting it. To more than one scientist who contemplated last week's apparently fruitless meeting in Warsaw, it seemed likely that when theory emerges from its present slough, young minds with fresh imaginations will show...
...light any new material about Newton, and he draws freely on other biographers. But Sullivan was fascinated by the human being which harbored such a magnificent mind, and from the available material he tried to draw, with fair success, a clearer picture of the 17th Century's greatest scientist as a person...
