Dartmouth is good; they must be good. In light of which, humorous is the attempt of the Dartmouth Athletic News Weekly to build its team up as an underdog. Making the opponent over confident is wise policy, but Santa Claus didn't have a beard when this last workout (we quote...
...towering Soft., will serve as a low pressure evaporator tower for distilling crude oil for Standard Oil Co. of Indiana ("Stanolind"). Construction and delivery of the tank was accompanied by a great shattering of records. It is the biggest oil evaporator tower in existence. Best man to build it, Stanolind found, was Morris W.

The majority of the Free Africans voted in 1791 to build an Episcopal church, and they soon affiliated it with the white, national church body. But Teamster Allen felt that Methodism was better for Negroes. He bought a blacksmith shop, began holding services, accumulated enough followers so that in 1799 he was ordained by Bishop Francis Asbury, pioneer U. S. Methodist...
