...Harvard, you are being victimized by insidious propaganda. One Mr. Schierling of the Business School and Mr. George Ade, slang fablist extraordinary, Purdue alumni both have written lugubriously in the CRIMSON concerning their Alma Mater's chances today. But Mr. Schierling and Mr. Ade are chuckling up their respective sleeves. They don't really believe that "Purdue" is an old French word meaning "lost". Their motives, I suspect, are basely commercial...
...realm of fable and fancy will send two of its foremost citizens. George Ade, whose "Fables in Slang" delighted American and European readers of two decades ago, and George Barr McCutcheon, creator and king of the realm of Graustark, will be the two authors who claim Purdue as their Alma Mater, while J.

Certainly the chemical explosion has been done before in every conceivable way and I cannot see that Mr. Foster's work is any great addition to the multitude. Mr. Jones' Choatesque drawing...
...dresser for John Drew. Leaving Mr. Drew, he said that he would become an actor-not only an actor, a better actor than John Drew. He appeared with Fanny Rice in The Jolly Squire in 1892; three years later his own name was in headlines across the façade of the old Herald Square Theatre. He was playing in Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson. He had intelligence, sensitiveness and a rare, nervous charm. He duplicated his success in London. He supported Mme. Simone in The Return From Jerusalem. At 28 he turned manager and introduced...
