...real business world "cash" includes payment within thirty or even sixty days. In fact all the directors seem to be under the impression that an organization cannot transact business unless it is under exact legal liability at every point. They forget, or do not know, that modern business is done on credit and not on legal liabilities. A student under age is trusted for luxuries by tradesmen not because he can be sued, but because his honor will cause him to pay.

His time of 9 4-5 seconds in the 100 yards dash equals the intercollegiate record, held by B. J. Wefers of Georgetown, and breaks the dual record of 10 seconds made by Hargrave last year. Another of Hargrave's records was beaten by 1-5 of a second in the 220 yards dash, which Schick did in 21 3-5. Rust also ran remarkably well...
...several yards. Grew held second place until within forty yards of the tape when Jacobus and Stevens passed him and took second and third respectively. The time, 4.33 1-5, was the fastest Teel has ever made and was considerably better than any of the Harvard men have done. Harvard 15, Yale...
