The term mail is not approved by heraldic experts because it leaves some ambiguity as to whether the lozenges are hollow or filled. However, second House Master Charles W. Dunn noted that, “members of Quincy House, cheerfully undisturbed by this detail, have appropriated the term as the title of the House journal and have even used it at times in reference to members of House teams...

...classic” films on the walls and for those sad souls who decide to see Corky Romano this weekend, well, there’s also a bar on the second floor. But despite all its overall grandeur and luxury, the theater still evokes a hollow feeling. Like my pyramid of a theater back home, today’s cinematic megaplexes may be the epitome of comfort, but they lack the character of more traditional film houses...
