...interested in their particular fields. This year, fathers of students have been invited when their sons were at High Table, a pleasant innovation. The best occasion was undoubtedly the dinner given for President Lowell on his birthday. But the Christmas dinner cannot be left unmentioned. At the latter, each student found at his place a sprig of holly and a book plate from the Library with the regular "ex libris . . . ." crossed out and "Merry Christmas from the Master and Mrs. Coolidge," written...
...chief point put forward is the fact that at the Derby Day races in the latter part of May, a Yale champion class crew will race whatever Harvard has to offer in the way of an eight made up of oarsmen of non-University calibre.

In 1907 Ivar Kreuger, then 27, arrived in Stockholm after several years spent...

Among seven Houses one absolute favorite will never exist but when Lowell and Dunster first opened the latter had by far the larger list of applicants.
