Toughening Luck

Three panics (1873, 1893, 1907) and two depressions (1920-22, 1929-?) taught Professor Edwin Grant Conklin the wisdom which he imparted to the people of Montreal last week. Hard times & unemployment toughen the human race, said he. "Some of the weaker, according to the law of Nature, will naturally die under the stress of the times. Others will not propagate their kind. The strong and hardy will survive and reproduce. Thus the human race will be strengthened."

Professor Conklin, 68, Princeton biologist, son of a doctor, son-in-law of a preacher, has not been out of a job since 1891, has three children.
