Originally it was intended to have all House athletics completely independent of the H.F. The House units were to be self-sufficing, individuality was to develop naturally, and each House was to foster and perfect an internal organization to replace the class, fraternity, and 150 pound teams that then existed. The H.A.A. was specifically told to mind its own business and leave the pure and virginal field of intra-mural sports under the loving care of the House masters, unsullied by the horny commercialism of Quincy Street officials...
Like ostriches, cassowaries, children and certain abnormal adults, dogs sometimes develop an appetite for indigestible objects. Cause of this is usually a calcium deficiency in the blood.

If there is any tendency--and there may well be one--for the speeches to resemble the official catalogue, some of the Confidential Guide tricks will come in handy. Each instructor might be followed by seniors just through the particular mill, who would spend...
...Angeles needed water, and agitation started in 1902 culminated a few years later in the construction of the Owens Valley aqueduct, a project which could incidentally develop considerable power. Employed as a consulting engineer on the job, Mr. Scattergood showed the city that it could sell power cheaper than the private utilities and still make enough profit to pay for all construction. Upshot was formation of what is now the potent Los Angeles Power Bureau with Mr. Scattergood as chief electrical engineer & general manager, a job he has held ever since...
