Less can be said about a Freshman team even than the Varsity. Most preparatory schools do not have cross country, and jaakko must take the milers and half milers that appear and try to adjust them to the longer distance. The Freshman prospects Jaakko declares are pretty good, but there is a lack of experienced distance men that have the stamina to run the cross country distance. Brightest prospect perhaps is C. H. Oldfather, a miler from Hotchkiss. Jaakko also states that Robert Russell, a former Exeter half-miler, has the build for a longer distance man, and something...
...churches of the Middle Ages were made so tall, how joy went out of art with Christianity and was imported back from Moorish Spain to Provence, how painting began in Italy, became oil painting in Flanders. Dogmatic homilies together with disarming confessions of his own amateur standing appear in every chapter. If the reader wants to know something about Chinese art, advises the sensible lecturer, let him get Chinese brushes and ink and try it. Scattered throughout the book are no less than 180 drawings ranging from scraggly diagrams to colored sketches of a Dutch harbor intended to show...
...above the canyon floor, 1,200 above a saddle which runs across to the canyon wall, twelve miles from the Grand Canyon railroad station.

First reports made it appear that the plateau on top was something like a penthouse garden on the roof of a skyscraper, but such is not the case.

From missionary outposts of the Church, some 40 Episcopal converts and workers went to Philadelphia to appear in the pageant. A professional director of civic and patriotic shows, Percy Jewett Burrell of Boston, wrote the Drama of Missions...
Since these characters achieved prominence in a piquant period, it was to be expected that something in the way of written reminiscences would sooner or later appear. But Bohemians are notoriously lackadaisical about such matters, and though Kiki's Memoirs (Black Manikin Press; Paris, 1930) and Hamnett's Laughing Torso (Long & Smith, 1932) have been published, it was to small audiences; the panning of Montparnasse gold has been largely left to the more journalistically-minded. Third in the authentic train, Jimmy Charters' narrative would be condemned forthwith as a rehashing of minor and well-chewed-over material...
