...Mecca region, ending at the English Consulate at Jidda-a two years' saga of fortitude. And every stone, every plant, every beast on the way he observed with an eye as impartial as an angel's, set down the history and peculiarities of every tribe he met, passed through enough adventures to shake the soul of an Argive chief. Ten more years went to the writing of his travels. Those 20 years have built him a monument well nigh unique in literary history- the unique and magnificent story of a unique and magnificent exploit...
Like many other "cures," the new remedy has met with much skepticism among the medical profession. American physicians, commenting on the reports, say the results claimed are unbelievably good. They demand detailed scientific tests. At Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan, a serum has been developed during the last three years which has cut the pneumonia deathrate from 30% to 15%, according to Dr. Russell L. Cecil. Many other investigators have been working on pneumonia remedies, mostly of a serological nature. Dr. Tomarkin's cure merits favorable consideration, at least, from the fact that it is vouched for by Professor Ettore Marchiafava...
...another set radically different. Yale wanted a team of eleven men, Harvard insisted on fifteen. The regulations in regard to goals, touchdowns, size and shape of playing field, distinctions of "in touch" and many other matters were equally divergent.

Their opponents appeared in blue shirts, yellow snaps and dark civilian trousers. W. A. Whiting '77, the Harvard captain, was unable to play on account of injuries and he was therefore chosen to act as ampire. The contest resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Crimson players and the Eli spectators were far less jubilant than the next year when after the winning Yale goal the Advocate says: "At this exciting juncture the crows, which...
...When reading one of the recent Yale papers lately i happened upon an article relating to football matches between Harvard and Yale, which were so much desired and talked about last spring. The writer complained of Harvard's refusal to join a convention which met in New York last fall, and thought that football matches could be arranged with out much difficulty if a meeting were held at some half-way point to draw up a set of rules by which games between the two Colleges could be governed. He then went on to state the difference between the rules...
