...preeminently the type of scholar which has done the most to raise the academic standards of Harvard to their present high national and international rank. While his crowning honor came with the Noble prize for special achievement in chemistry in 1914, he had previously, in 1901, received a flattering invitation from the Prussian government which indirectly was a compliment to Harvard and the scientific advances of American universities in general. In declining the offer then made him of a full professorship of inorganic chemistry at the University of Gottingen, Professor Richards revealed an appreciation of and a loyalty to Harvard...
Lean beef, fat beef, beef tongue, liver, brain, marrow: that is what two men ate and it is all they ate: for 21 days, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, famed Arctic explorer; for 57 days, his friend and erstwhile companion, Karsten Anderson, whose present business is orange growing.

"Friendly Enemies" is a clever variation on the one-horse-town theme, although the caption is infinitely superior to the drawing itself. On the other hand "The Canonization of a Saint" contains better drawings that the caption deserves...
...perfectly obvious that something must be done if the University is to make the acquaintance or even see the glorified young militarists except during the game. In addition to the probable promenade en grande tenue and the luncheon there is a rumor that Boston hostesses and debutantes are eagerly anticipating the appearance of military full dress, resplendent with gold braid, epaulets, and decorations, in Hub salons, salles-a-manger, and ball-rooms. In view of this situation, gratifying as the Boston hospitality promises to be, the University will undoubtedly view with alarm the usurpation of its prerogatives as a host...
