...went horses all day long. Polo ponies, saddle horses, hunters, pony tandems, draft horses, tandems, hackneys, artillery horses strapped to caissons, police mounts, jumpers, saddle tandems, road hacks. Some walked, some trotted, jumped, pulled phaetons, balked, whinnied, won and lost. To add to the illusion, a clatter of old time coachesf filled the arena now and then, with "coaching parties" riding on their roofs. William H. Vanderbilt tooled one of them.

...fading of the Freshman trek to lower Widener and the clatter of dishes across the Charles announce the success of two recent innovations. Seats both in the newly opened libraries in McKinlock and the dining halls of the Business School are already at a premium. This is not in the least surprising as both projects were designed with a careful eye to the convenient and the aesthetic. Studying Freshmen are consoled by handsome woodwork, pots of geranium, and a spacious alcove with a fireplace. The business men's professional fatigue is more than soothed by the arts of the former...
