...Jubilee was managed and conducted on a larger scale than the three preceding ones. It was held on June 2 and received a great deal of publicity because of the fact that the Class of 1922 engaged two prominent orchestras to play.

When he hears that his mother is threatened with cancer, he blows off three fingers of his right hand so that he can collect insurance money to send his mother...
Shortly after the General Motors spurt, the market's opening was one without parallel in the memory of the oldest ticker-tape scanner in the field district. It had been rumored that there was a corner-in Radio Corporation of America, that desperate shorts who sold 350,000 shares could not borrow any stocks with which to make delivery to the purchasers at 2:15 P.M. Every craning neck in customers' rooms, every visitor in the packed galleries of the Stock Exchange, knew that General Electric Co., Westinghouse Electric Co., National Bank of Pittsburgh and the famed Fisher...
