...Wendell, of whom a speaking likeness may be found on the cover, contributes "Harvard's 1912 Record", the most successful prose in the number.

Weston '14, of Merion Station, Pa., for an essay on "The Problem...
...became instructor in pharmacology at the Medical School and wrote several papers in English and German on bacteriological subjects. In entering on his research and experimentation regarding the "gas" bacillus he knew he was risking his life. But he cheerfully undertook this work for the benefit of humanity, and even after inoculation, enthusiastically studied the progress of the disease in his own body, thus adorning the history of medicine with one more instance of unselfish bravery...
