...into combs. The factory closed. The father died. Spindly-legged David Ignatius, aged 7, trudged over the hills around Worcester to gather wild berries and sell them. He picked enough, and did enough odd jobs, newspaper-selling, errand-running, to put himself through school. He was president of his class. From Holy Cross he was graduated in 1893, from the Boston University Law School four years later. At 24 he began to practise law at Fitchburg. At 27, as a "common people's" Democrat, he was sent by a hidebound Republican district in Worcester to represent...

In the inter-class league, the informal outside games were preliminary to the objective class series...
...Class series, on the other hand, has a very definite objective. The winners of the series receive their numerals, have their names inscribed on a permanent class trophy, play against the winning Yale class team and in case of victory over Yale, receive medals. This fall the winning Sophomores who defeated the Yale Seniors at New Haven 26-0 are very proud with all these honors. In addition they have been chosen by J. L.
