...Vagabond in his Attic after a day filled with bustle but productive of no visible results. How much of his college life has been precisely like today! Wake at three minutes to nine--too late for his first class--toss till quarter to ten when up and a hasty brushing of his teeth and a poor shave with four bad nicks to staunch with stypic pencil. To breakfast at Waldorf, and two hours to kill before the twelve o'clock. A dash into Widener and check the bibliographies on Fenimore Cooper. A dash to H.A.A.--tickets for Dartmouth game. Back...
...water. No cocktail before dinner, swore off two weeks ago and only had one since. Dinner in the Master' lodgings, the Master tall gray quiet man, professor in an antique tongue. Master's wife good company. Some talk about new parietal rules, plans for House dances. Back to the Attic a little after nine and an hour reading Kleist's "Prinz Friederich von Homburg" with text in one hand and Langenscheidts "Deutsch-Englisch" in the other. Listen to the radio and desultory talk with room-mates till...
Last week from an attic at Andernay near Nancy, fear-stricken Armand Joseph Bolon was dragged into the light by French gendarmes who had been searching for him for 22 years.

Laugenour, who made this plaster cast, located the same in the attic of his widow. She presented the same to the writer, and it has been placed in a handsome plate-glass case, and is on display in the office of Frank N. Littlejohn, chief of detectives here in Charlotte. As soon as we finish our exhaustive investigation, we plan to give...
Atwater Kent radios originated one day after the War when Mr. Kent received an order for 10,000 headsets. Suddenly realizing that his plant was virtually ready to turn out complete radios instead of certain parts for other companies, he built a set by hand in his attic. Upshot was that for the next few years Atwater Kent was the fastest-selling radio on the market. Mr. Kent contributed little to radio science. Indeed, in 1927 he settled a whopping suit brought by Radio Corp. of America for patent infringement. What he did give the industry was mass production...
