...great cost--audio amplifiers in different parts of the Stadium so that everything said could be distinctly heard. The telephone transmitters on the platform in the center of the Stadium would carry the voice to the loud speaking telephones located in various parts of the structure.

...best serve the state by training two thousand men well. On them she can put the stamp of honor and all that makes a man. An Honor System can not stand the strain of numbers. Our Honor System is the backbone of Virginia. Let us think well before we dare sacrifice quality for the sake of quantity. College Topics, University...
