...Harvard, that's a rich man's school all right. But lots of good men come out of it. I would rather open a door to a Harvard man than anyone else. He always helps...
...founded families of Alexanders, Baldwins, Castles, Cookes and Thurstons, the new Governor of the "Paradise of the Pacific'' is nevertheless no political carpetbagger or "malihini" (stranger). He went to Hawaii in 1917 as U. S. District Judge, has since been a practicing attorney.

One day, during a lecture, a minor luminary of the janitorial force appeared at the door, looked in cautiously, then advanced bodily, into the almost empty hall. "Hello," he called cheerily, "Where's Joe Jones, the head janitor?" "Just a minute, please!" said Professor Coolidge, and descended from the platform, steered the good man gently through the door, and could be heard civilly explained...
