...Scripps: "He founded the Scripps-McRae syndicate of 28 newspapers. Aged 71, he is a hermit-millionaire, a sea hermit (like the late Publisher Joseph Pulitzer) sailing the seven seas on a yacht with padded decks.

Baseball players can be developed and all we ask for is a bunch of men who are willing to work and learn the game...

After the graduation exercises, he enlisted as a private in the U. S. Marine Corps, obtained a commission as second lieutenant, and after service at Quantico, Virginia, was discharged in January, 1919. Mr. Parkman then spent several years in business, until in September 1926 he returned to the University to take up graduate work in history. He has been an assistant this year in History 1, in which capacity he will continue...
