thus neglected, it is claimed, and
the State Medical society is given
control of the Medical school
through its ability to starve out the
Ann Arbor experts by cutting off
their private consulting practice.
These evils are certainly inherent
to a certain extent in the part-
time method of employing the hos-
pital teaching staff, but Doctor Ca-
bot was not dismissed as dean be-
cause he fought them. Attempts
to drag them into the controversy
to cover up Doctor Cabot's failure
as an administrator only confuse
the issue.

Jean Paul Slusser
A REVIEW BY H. WILDER BENTLEY
In summing up the life of an American water-colorist who had
shown great promise in her youth, a famous painter in New York once
said to a young artist about to set sail for southern Italy: "-and let
her tragic example be a lesson to you. Southern Italy is too beautiful
an environment for the painter. It leaves nothing to the imagination.
Go there; get what inspiration it has to give you; and then tear yourself
&way before it's too late." I mention this anecdote in that it illustrates
precisely what Jean Paul Slusser has found the strength of purpose
to do.

ABOT'S DISMISSAL JUSTIFIED
By the personal friends of Doctor

Over

the

Horizon

H ERE they come-the nucleus of an all-electric
merchant marine. Yesterday, they were' a dream.
To-day, they are well over the horizon, linking the ports
of the east and west coasts with fortnightly service. The
goal of the Panama Pacific Line is to build three more
turbine-electric ships, thus enabling weekly New York-
Frisco sailings.
Even now, the three liners, California, Virginia, and
Pennsylvania, constitute the largest fleet of turbine-electric
commercial ships in the world.
Besides propelling these ships, electricity hoists freight,
raises anchors, mans pumps, turns rudders, drives winches,
and warps the vessels into their berths. It lights lamps,
spins fans, operates elevators, cools and cooks food. Its
magic touch is apparent on every deck.
