...weekly quiz sections are intolerable. A five minute test is given, not to determine the amount of knowledge gleaned from the week's reading, but to ascertain merely if the student has done the assignment. Beyond the fact that this procedure is contrary to all pedagogical theory, it is absolutely impossible to convey any of the salient points of 150 pages of Plato to an instructor by means of a five minute scrawl. These meetings were primarily organized to solve any difficulties that the student might have, but they have been reduced to infinite and fruitless arguments on the number...
...women recognized by American Men of Science. The Clarks are one of the very few couples who jointly have attained scientific eminence. Another such couple are the Dicks of Chicago (Dr. George Frederick, 49, and Dr. Gladys Henry), inventors of the Dick Test for scarlet fever.

Last Saturday there was a particular lack of coordination in the backfield especially on the passes and today would be the time to make the plays click. But with Mays out the laterals will not get a fair try because he is obviously the spark of the sidewise toss...
...Canada, fought its way up to fifth place ahead of the Curtiss Kingbird. Flying across Kansas, Pilot Haldeman tried the cross-country tactics of Lindbergh and Hawks, climbed above 15,000 ft., there found a strong west wind to whisk him into Wichita ahead of his rival. Most telling test of the week occurred between Wyoming and Colorado, when the heavily loaded ships had to take off from high-altitude fields, clear a 9,400 ft. range into Denver...
