...results of the quarter and half were in doubt, not because anyone expected Stanford's crack middle-distance man Ben Eastman to be beaten in either, but because they wanted to see just how near the currently accepted world's records his times would be. Only a few people in the crowd, friends of Eastman who knew that he was recovering from a heavy cold, guessed he might be below his best form. In the quarter, they thought Karl Warner of Yale might make Eastman work. If that race tired him, Eastman would have trouble against Ben Hallowell...
...Eastman had good reason to be tired by that race. If he was, he managed to conceal it. After an hour's rest, he started near the front in the half-mile and took the lead after 400 yards. It was Hallowell who was tired, after losing a terrific mile to Mangan of Cornell. Turner of Michigan and Hudder Dawson, the Princeton captain, challenged Eastman in the stretch but neither could whittle down his lead. Winner by ten yards, Eastman's time was 1:51.9, or .3 sec. slower than the world's record and one second...

Stanford's seasoned track coach, Robert Lyman ("Dink") Templeton, was so much impressed that he took Eastman in hand, had him go away for the summer to put on weight. Last year, running in the intercollegiates for the first time, Eastman lost...
Professor Edward Adam Strecker (neuropsychiatry) of Jefferson Medical College and Dr. Edward D. Hoedemaker examine the attempted suicides taken to Philadelphia General Hospital. They find that many patients were clear-minded and philosophical in their efforts to end life. George Eastman was an example of an indubitably level-headed suicide. Long-standing poverty is seldom a cause. When a very poor person kills himself, vice, crime or love are involved...
