A good deal of its charm lay in its restaurant, where the innkeeper's blonde, comely wife Cornelia Knutson cooked hearty food, waited cheerfully on tables and made the guests feel right at home.

Tired, and a little vexed, he said last week: "I feel in the teaching profession you do not have money, but you do have integrity of the mind. You do not have to compromise with knowledge.
