...term. The department treats too exclusively of the art of government, paying too little attention to its practise. In courses as in tutorial work--throughout the whole work a student does in preparation for his final examinations--the outside world is far too often regarded as a scientist regards an atom, rather than as a living and ever-present reality, the understanding of which is one of the purposes of studying government...
...join these terrific speeds and pressures, Scientist Svedberg enclosed his rotor so that it spins in hydrogen reduced to 1/30 atmospheric pressure. Driving mechanism consists essentially of two turbines, the size of thread spools, against which oil is pumped at 800 lb. per sq. in. pressure. To prevent overheating of bearings, 45 minutes are required to work the rotor up to operating speed, 45 minutes more to slow it down. The rotor is oval in shape because an oval is less likely to fly apart than a circle...
...Press that he does. Thus Columbia Medical Center's Dr. Ramon Castroviejo has successfully grafted the cornea of a stillborn infant upon the opaque eye of a grown man (TIME, April 15, 1935). But, by publishing in plain language an exposition of his surgery, Dr. Filatov, famed scientist of the U. S. S. R., violated the mores of U. S. ophthalmologists. On the other hand ordinary U. S. doctors learned for the first time the details of what may be done to remedy a cause for almost half the blindness in the world...
...hotel on a mountain peak just inside the Italian border, an international collection of travelers are interned until Rome has time to see who is going to fight whom in an impending war. There are a pair of honeymooning Britons, a German scientist, a French Communist, all of whom give every evidence of being men of good will. There are also a French armament maker, his Russian mistress, Irene (Lynn Fontanne), a troupe of U. S. showgirls whom she calls "obvious little harlots," and their blatant but philosophical master of ceremonies, Harry Van (Alfred Lunt). When a nearby Italian airport...
...where we shall be concerned with "teaching less and less but at the same time providing a better and better education." Progress to this end cannot be instantaneous. It will take at least a generation to win the goal. But we can all be glad that so eminent a scientist as James B. Conant, who understands today's demands for scholarly specialization as well as anyone can, likewise sees the need of new synthesis, new simplification and generalization in America's higher education. He is prepared to fight for these gains, and in such effort he deserves all possible...
