...Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to train Negro physicians. The Society handed over the money to Central Tennessee College (Negro), which turned out its first basement-taught class of five Negro doctors in 1877. Their teacher was lean, lanky George Whipple Hubbard, who came from New Hampshire with the Union Army and a carpetbagful of good Methodist intentions. He was soon joined by a onetime Confederate Army surgeon, J. W. Sneed. Nashville ostracized both white men for years...
...Hubbard headed the school for almost 45 years, until his white beard grew down to his knees. When he "resigned" at 80 in 1921, Meharry Medical College was low in prestige and standards, even lower in endowment ($50,000). Meharry's next president, John James Mullowney, also a white man, rejuvenated the college, raised its academic standards (thereby reducing enrollment) and won its shining "A" from the A. M. A. in 1923. The college reached maturity in 1931, when its present modern classrooms and laboratories were opened...
...with practically all of their front line and a full quartet of backs from the disappointing 1939 eleven gone via the sheepskin route. Nine lettermen were on hand, four of whom were linemen.

...Jack Hubbard, chosen on Walter Camp's All-America team in 1905, sparked that miracle victory in 1903, and he has a son Gene in the starting lineup of the 1940 Amherst eleven. A flurry of Crimson fumbles and misplays decided the game that day, but such things continue to happen in modern football. As Bob Zuppke of Illinois once said when illustrating the folly of making one team a heavy favorite over another, "Don't discount the fact that a football is of peculiar shape and sometimes bounces funny." He went on to add that football games are decided...
This pragmatic decision drew indignant prose from New Dealer Eicher. His dissent: "No ingenuity can square it with the standards of the Act. . . . Corporate management that, without contract compulsion, voluntarily doffs its Mother Hubbard of untrammeled business action [meaning its preferred stock] and dons a strait jacket of shortly-maturing secured debt deserves and should expect searching examination into the justification for its policy." Eicher's dissent overlooked the fact that Atlas sits on both sides of the table in Ogden Corp.; that, from a practical standpoint, the deal is largely bookkeeping. But he was cleaving to an abstract...
