...History, Manhattan. Again he procured elephants and other African fauna, narrowly escaping with his life when a bull elephant gored him and kneeled on his chest and head (his wife rescued him, mulilated); when, his rifle empty, he had to throttle a wounded 80-pound leopard; when he contracted "Black Water," vilest of tropic fevers. Gorillas were the subject of his latest studies, pursued in the gorilla sanctuary he had been instrumental in having set aside by Belgium. He embarked on his last trip last spring with George ("Kodak") Eastman, Rochester, N. Y., camera maker, who was financing his work...
...Fayette Avery McKenzie, against whose alleged "Jim Crow" methods Fisk students struck last year (TIME, Feb. 16, 1925). To give President Jones a good send-off and to impress Fisk students with the permanence of the Fisk policy of a white president (often they have asked for a black), Chairman Paul Drennan Cravath* and his fellow trustees arranged the four days of ceremony and speechmaking, beginning with a football game on the campus and including the distinguished presence of representatives of the Phelps Stokes Fund, the Carnegie Corporation, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the American Missionary Association (all contributors to Fisk...

Whatever their true nature they are a beautiful fish, yellow and black, and seemed to me more substantial food than the ordinary trout. They vary in length; our guide said he had seen one 28 inches long, but our party had to be satisfied with six or seven inches, although they saw many big ones. At our last camp on lower Rock Creek the guide caught his limit (twenty fish) and gave them to us to take back to Pasadena. He cleaned them, hung them up for the night to dry, packed them in canvas, and then inside a roll...
