...when she contracted that disease. Serum from Dr. Armstrong's immune blood cured her. Dr. Armstrong's current assignment is last year's epidemic of sleeping sickness in St. Louis (TIME, Oct. 2, 1933, et ante). Last week he was working on the serology of the strangest of the St. Louis sleeping sickness cases when, too ill to continue, he went to the Naval Hospital in Washington. Neither he nor his colleagues know what is wrong. Most striking symptom was a rash down both his sides; most terrifying, the irrationality into which he occasionally lapsed...
...intend to combat teams of superior calibre, we must do it well. Speaking from personal experience, I never objected to rigorous training rules, long practices, early returns in the fall, and superior coaching. At least I felt that I could be proud to play on the team. And, strangest of all, I never enjoyed higher marks in my school career than I did when playing on the team. The overemphasis which the CRIMSON deplores and hopes to avoid, is simply giving to something all that we have. We ought to give it. J. Patterson...
Considered by many the most important advance in aerial transportation since the Wright biplane, the Douglas DC2 bears the name of a mild-mannered, retiring Californian named Donald Wills Douglas. Probably the strangest thing about Donald Douglas is that he seems always to have made money building airplanes.

...stays there. Author Walker pictures a city-room postgraduate course: "It is like attending some fabulous university where the humanities are studied to the accompaniment of ribald laughter, the incessant splutter of an orchestra of typewriters, the occasional clinking of glasses, and the gyrations of some of the strangest performers ever set loose by a capricious and allegedly all-wise Creator. . . . And he is being paid-not much, but something-for attending this place which is part seminary, part abattoir. . . . Every office needs at least one man who, though a competent workman, understands that existence is primarily a droll affair...
...eastern boundary of Cleveland, conspicuously painted with glistening aluminum, stands one of the strangest hospitals on earth. The main building is a steel sphere 64 ft. in diameter, the height of a five-story apartment house. At the base, like garden slugs under a puff ball, are two horizontal steel tanks the size of bungalows. All three structures are built to withstand the force of compressed air in which Dr. Orval James Cunningham, the designer, has his patients live...
