Those two bulwarks of education in the East, the Universities of Yale and of Harvard, have furnished grist for many a generality. Harvard men, whose impression of Yale may have been limited to a distorted glimpse of Harkness Tower as beheld from a motor car on the way to the Yale Bowl, are usually quite ready to proffer their opinions of Yale's scholastic, athletic and social systems; Yale men not infrequently subject the "red bellies" of Harvard to a voluble and humorous dissection.

Warned that violence to this "emanation" would seriously injure the entranced medium, none of those present...
...Navy officials, visiting last fortnight at Gloucester, Mass., were treated to a demonstration remarkable even in this radio age. In the laboratory of John Hays Hammond Jr., they beheld that young wizard (aged 37) transmit eight radio messages simultaneously upon a single ether wave and receive them again, all separate and distinct, using single sending and receiving instruments at both ends of his operation...
