...back in Fairbanks, misfortune, which the week before had reached out with a grip more icy than the winter winds, maintained its hold upon the main expedition. Originally, Captain Wilkins had planned to lead three monoplanes into the north?two triple-engined Fokkers and a single-motored Liberty. One of the Fokkers was burned up in January during its final tests at the Ford experimental field near Detroit. The other Fokker (the Detroiter) and the Liberty plane?dubbed Alaskan?had reached Fairbanks safely. Snowplows and road-rollers had labored for days ironing out a take-off and landing field...
...noon my lower extremities can carry me to Semitic Museum 1 to hear Professor Hooton discuss their evolution in Anthropology I he has evolved to the legs, which will be his subject today.

Very well, we shall give you as a tutor a man who can lead you pleasantly and profitably in that field. He will show you how to get the most from lectures, from the library, from all the resources of the University.
