Eight million dollars is a lot of money, even when one is concerned with figures running up into hundreds of millions, and the huge loss which is shown on the books in the annual Treasurer's Report to the Overseers may cause uninformed persons undue alarm.

In brief, some millions of dollars were added to the book valuation of the University shortly after the late-lamented boom. Its investments were apparently...
...Frank Theis prepared to sail for Rio, rumor circulated that he was going to trade U. S. wheat for Brazilian coffee. The U.

How could this little fellow expect to turn the Cornell, Army, and Dartmouth backs in on end sweeps? How could he expect to grab passes from taller defense men? Vag still can't figure out how he does it, but he does, and it makes him feel warm inside to watch...
...games that fall, never could quite understand how he could change so suddenly into a ferocious blocker and tackler on the field. He knows now. Three years of watching Hacker in the blocking slot have shown him that Hacker really loves the game. Coupled with ability, that explains a lot...
