The old kitchen, which fed over a thousand college men a day, from 1874 to the late Twenties, when the now gloomy...
...crop without resorting to athletic scholarships; it is hard to turn down a bid from old Mu Gamma Beta. Actually, the state itself takes wonderful care of boys & girls who look like champs. Shotputter Tatiana Sevryukovo got $1,600 for a record heave. Last winter every member of the Dynamo jutbol team that toured England got a $4,000 bonus on their triumphal return. The ultimate goal of all: the rank of "Master of Sport," which brings a star athlete not only prestige but such rarities as extra rations, a comfortable apartment and, sometimes...
