...order to bring to wider student attention the results of its April 12th and 13th Conference on Careers in Government and Community Service, the Phillips Brooks House Association has published a pamphlet summarizing the significant parts of the talks delivered over the two day period...

On the other hand are Mr. Roosevelt's addresses, stirring and emotional, speaking of a civilization, a way of life that is in danger.

...spirals are controlled by big electromagnets. The bigger the magnets, the wider the spirals, the more forceful the bullets. Dr. Lawrence and his ever-changing army of co-workers did most of their work on artificial radioactivity and transmutation of elements with an 85-ton magnet. Now they have a 225-ton machine for applying the radioactivity of their cracked atoms (and the neutrons which cause it) to biological and medicinal research. This giant hurls tiny bullets with record-breaking energies of more than 30,000,000 electron-volts...

From the Martinis to the desert, the plan has in three years proved highly successful. Not only have many newspapermen been able to take back to their work a wider knowledge of the things they write about, but several have received better jobs as a result of their study. But aside from this, Harvard itself has learned, through these journalists' eyes, a lot about national problems that it either didn't know or didn't think much about until...
