...just plain out-spirited the opponents. In all of these games no one has left the field doubting for a moment which team was the better coached. Coach Harlow is the finest type of Harvard man, and Harvard has adopted him for her own.

In American Men of Science he found 72 industrial savants whose names were starred for distinguished research (by vote of their colleagues). He then hunted up as many of their salaries as he could find in the Treasury report...
