...earliest contributor to be a graduate was Edward Everett Hale, Class of 1811, later president of the College, who in 1852 wrote a 40,000 word article on "George Washington" for the eighth edition. The first edition appearing in 1768 describes Cambridge as "a town, about three miles west of Boston; remarkable for a university consisting of three colleges."

This week came another, a 15? fortnightly on pulp stock named Common Sense, in which Writer Liggett again was the most conspicuous contributor. But Common Sense was distinguished by other characteristics. Its founders and chief editors are 27-year-old Alfred Mitchell Bingham, Yale law graduate, son of Republican Senator-reject Hiram Bingham of Connecticut; Selden Rodman, founder and former editor of The Harkness Hoot, literate, insurgent Yale undergraduate magazine; and Charles C. Nicolet. able newsman...
