Cut in 1920 Competition

 

Five Left for Final Competition

 

A cut was made this week in the fresh-
man competition. The five remaining
are D. Clark, L. Kellogg, E. Davis, L. Da-
vis, and D. Rogers. One of these will be
taken on the editorial board some time in
May.

So far this competition has brought out
unusually good material. Eleven started
after the “smoker” in February, but three
dropped out before the cut was made.
There will be two more from 1920 taken
on the News next year.

Eminent Scientist
Describes Plant Life
(Continued from Page 1)
from the leaves, and so make them inca-
pable of sprouting. The reason for the
relative positions of the new stems and
roots, he explained, is that the two arise
from two different sorts of sap within the
leaf, and that the heavier sap, running at
the bottom of the leaf, forms the roots,
and the lighter the new stems.

The theory was formulated by Dr. Loeb
that the stem exerts an inhibiting effect
on the shoots of the leaf as it draws off
the sap. The leaf with the short stem
sends off more shoots than the leaf with
the long stem.

Dr. Loeb, who is now working at the
Rockefeller Institute, is especially inter-
ested in generation from unfertilized eggs
and has succeeded, according to his re-
ports, in stimulating the growth of an un-
fertilized frog’s egg by pricks with a
needle. He taught at Bryn Mawr several
years ago, having been called from Switz-
erland. The Science Club and its guests
met Dr. Loeb after the lecture at a re-
ception in Rockefeller Hall.
