...Princeton. At that time the college was beginning to feel keenly the tug of new winds of liberal doctrine, and in the words of one who was a Freshman at the time. "It seemed a backward step to take a man with a white lawn tie, a black frock coat, side whiskers and the pallor of a medieval monk, to preside over a college devoted chiefly to the liberal arts." Patton had been a Presbyterian pastor, and a professor in the Princeton Theological School; he had a claustral and philosophic austerity that raised fears for the new administration among both...
...could be so exactly like Lowell House and not be. Even the bells were ringing. He looked down shyly to see how he looked in a nightgown and discovered instead a pair of creased pearl-striped trousers and a handsome expanse of grey vest.

Not forgetting its pedestrian readers the Guardian reported: "The most striking exhibit, from the hiker's point of view, is an 'ultra-lightweight week-end kit,' comprising rucksack, sleeping-bag, tent, a four-peg coat-hanger, a petrol-stove, frypan, water-bucket, a plate, cup, receptacles for food and drink, knife, spoon and fork, and electric torch, a pair of shoes, a tent pole, swimming suit, complete change of clothes, towels, soap, facecloth, shaving tackle, and toothbrush, the whole weighing slightly over ten and a half pounds...

Professor Fink, 51, claims to be the "originator of the drawn tungsten filament'' for lamps.* Another scientist given the kudos is General Electric's Dr. William David Coolidge, 59. In 1914 the American Academy of Arts & Sciences gave Dr. Coolidge its prized Rumford Medal for the ''invention and applications of ductile tungsten." Dr. Coolidge also...
Hence there appeared on the Harvard campus in March, 1923, a sawed-off youth wearing a monocle, top hat, morning coat, and sponge-bag trousers. He was temporarily put up at the Harvard Union in a bed in which President Roosevelt once had slept. Later he stopped for a time at the Phoenix Club. Specialists in the Prince's Harvard career say that he brushed aside the matter of entrance requirements by describing to President Lowell, in a personal interview, how his papers had been destroyed when the Rods burned the Winter Palace. Mike was enrolled as a student...
