Arthur Valpey, the leading candidate for the job as of two weeks ago, arrived at Logan International Airport this morning and apparently spent most of the day with Bingham and his old friend, Bill Barclay, former freshman football coach at Michigan and current Crimson basketball coach.

By 1900, what had begun as an open air "Sunday School Teachers' Assembly" for 40 young people (two weeks of clean living and right thinking for $6) had expanded into an association that ran a school of theology, a correspondence-school university and a publishing house.
