...insects have been shown to be dangerous. Dr. Smith has also conducted exhaustive researches on tuberculosis, was the first to recognize that there were distinct differences between the bovine and human tubercle bacilli, and contributed to our knowledge of hog cholera, anaphylaxis, contagious abortion of cattle and streptococcic sore throat. He discovered several new parasites of the lower animals, one of them the micro-organism of blackhead in turkeys, a disease of large economic importance. This discovery will help reduce the cost of Thanksgiving dinners. He has devised many laboratory procedures; one of these, the fermentation tube, is universally used...
...public who send their boys to Harvard College may be considered as appreciating fully the dangers of ocular defects and this appreciation has extended at least as far back as 1914. In 1914, 43.5 per cent of the Freshmen had had some operation upon their nose or throat.

Rates had become so low and restrictions so stringent that all improvements or new investments were impossible. The point had been reached where private industry and even a fair transportation efficiency were incompatible...
...this may be highly commended, for what didactic influence Shaw is attempting to make, is sent out over the footlights with a subtlety and belief that "the malice of a good thing is the barb that makes it stick." Shaw forces moral and ethical discussion on us, but our throat is not crammed so full as to interfere with our occasional giggle, which we need to have on hand when we are communing with this British enigma. His whole purpose seems to be to convince us that whether truth is an actuality or not we ought at least to think...
...Joseph Lincoln Goodale '89 will speak on "Hay Fever and Asthma" at the Medical School, Longwood avenue, Boston, tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Dr. Goodale is an eminent authority on diseases of the nose and throat, and is the author of more than fifty papers and monographs on the subject. This lecture is open to the public and no tickets are required; the doors will, however, be closed at five minutes past the hour...
