And once the Doctor makes friendship, it
stays put. He never forgets One of his assist
ants was once blinded by an explosion in the
laboratory. The Corneas of his eyes were
affected. He was retired and sent home to live.
A whole winter DR.. Carrel worked on the
transportation of corneas in the hope that
he might be able to find way of restoring his
former assistants sight. Further oomplica-
tions developed in the mans eyes, however,
and DR.. Carrel finally had to give up his
efforts. But not before he had tried everything
humanity possible. His consideration for the
people that work with him, and his kindliness,
have built up for him at the Institute staff
of devoted disciples who have not only great
respect for him as scientist, but alteration
as a friend
DR.. Carrel's interests are universal. What
ever he sees or hears that interests him, he
pursues relentlessly until he knows its why's
and wherefors. Some years ago he spent
several weeks at the famous Shrine of the
Virgin Mary at Lourdes in France He saw
cripples throw away their crutches. He saw
cancerous growth on the hand of French
workman shrivel up and disappear. He cannot
explain it, he says, but it happened. Science
must find out why And he has been thinking
about it ever since
He once discovered that certain people can
see light waves of frequencies above and
below the ordinary range of the human eye
These people are peculiarly sensitive, often
psychic" and prone to serious nervous dis
orders. His inquiries into the nature of that
phenomenon were interrupted by other work,
and he was never able to complete them.

-VTN If you had never heard of DR.. Alexis
- meeting him, that he stood out from
other men. For the famous research scientist
of the Rockefeller Institute, and the man for
whom Charles A. Lindbergh designed the
"artihcial heart, has the rare ability to inter-
est himself in everyone he meets - and make
that person feel it.
When he meets a stranger the Doctor
makes lightning like summary of his charac
ter Not by instinct, he says, but by definite
rules of physiognomy. He believes that every
person has the qualities of his soul, mind and
I body written clearly on his face. He says the
brain, through the facial nerves and muscles,
controls and molds the features indelibly. If
the analysis is favorable. slow, warm smile
spreads over the Doctors face. His eyes, 50
sharp behind his pince-neZ, become friendly,
and he begins to ask questions. In few min
|ltes you have the impression that you have

done research together here and in France.
During his entire career controversy has
ragged around DR.. Carrel's head. He has been
praised and honored for his great ability,
publicized for his ''wizardry," and condemned
for his ''unscientifc imaginings. The sensa-
tional character of his experiments and his
colorful personality have always made him
good newspaper copy and he has often re-
ceived undesired publicity. Many have failed
to see the great pattern of purpose that under
lies all of his research. But at sxty-six, this
earnest seeker after truth has lost none of his
energy, none of his skill, none of his faith in
the ability of science to improve the being
of man.
Dr. Carrel's social life is limited. He is shy
in large gatherings, considers them rather a
waste of time, and goes only when he must
Exchange of real conversation and ideas, he
believes, is possible between only two or three
people at time. He hates being lionized, and
will not 60 out at all if he knows that he is to
be made the center of attraction.
As guest, he is hard even on his friends.
His work comes first, last and always. He
has been known to call up at the last moment
and say, Il cannot come for dinner. My mind
is very clear just now. 1t is my duty to take
advantage of that and work tonight" The
question of food for him is difficult also. Un-
usual for Frenchman, he dislikes elaborate
dishes - calls them silly" For years he ate
steak for lunch and dinner. Then he switched
to boiled chicken Now veal is his almost
exclusive menu. Food as anything more than
an energizer simply does not interest him.
In his whole personal life he is rigid self
disciplinarian. By training himself to sleep
when he did not feel like it and stay awake
when he was sleepy, he gained an extraordi-
nary control over his energy. Long walks.
fencing, regular hours. and limited diet
prepared him for the incredibly delicate
operations that have made him famous He

sophizing with his intimate friends, and like
