On a cool morning in March, 1805, two Harvard undergraduates did essentially the same thing, with the exception that their contest is scarcely remembered--even by Harvard historians...

Inside the envelope was a note warning that in the block-square building were planted two bombs, the first set to explode "by the time you receive this message." As Frank was reading the note on the twelfth floor, an explosion rocked the third floor, shattering windows...
