What does sinclair mean when he says “they were regular alchemists at durham’s” (lines 25-26)

In "The Jungle" when Sinclair refers to "regular alchemists at Durham's" means that they were creating meats from a variety of sources, later in the text you found this comment “They advertised "potted chicken,"--and it was like the boardinghouse soup of the comic papers, through which a chicken had walked with rubbers on. Perhaps they had a secret process for making chickens chemically--who knows?” here you can infer that the chicken announced actually does not look like chicken.

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
