Iowa has its Kutsch but Northwestern has its Baker, Lewis and Gustafson, so the co-educational institution on the shores of Lake Michigan finished its first undefeated Big Ten season, out on the prairies of Iowa City.

...kindliness of heart, is ruled by his head; Mr. Schwab, for all his hard sense, is emotional. The clash of their natures showed itself at the very formation of the U. S. Steel Corp. in 1901.
