...Rutherford County, N. C, not many miles from Asheville, a brawling mountain stream cascades down through a narrow little valley in the mountains. On one side the mountains rise, on the other runs a stone cliff 400 ft. high and 2,000 ft. long. This cliff terminates abruptly as the stream debouches abruptly upon a plain, and at the cliff, a giant shivver of it, detached from the main mass, rises the full height of the precipice, like a giant terminal column. It is called Chimney Rock and is one of the scenic spots of North Carolina. Beautiful views...

...Times that Alumnus Martin was quite wide of the mark. No admonitions or other correspondence had gone out from the University to Yale's alumni with reference to reunions. The notice considered offensive by Alumnus Martin had originated in alumni circles.

...Alumnus Martin acknowledged his error? Had he come to New Haven with his classmates? The discussions dwelt upon the trying position a college president occupies. Because he had told Alumnus Martin that he held no narrow views on the use of alcoholics and that the conduct of alumni was no affair of the President of Yale, Dr. Angell had been charged by a fanatical Pennsylvania alumnus with conniving at a "conspiracy in the class of '95 to violate the Eighteenth Amendment and flout the Constitution." "O! tempora," commented a Yale alumnus who had studied Latin, "Oh ! Mory...
...measure the speed of athletic events. While they ticked, the colleges of the Western Conference competed for the annual track and field championships. A pair of great black legs-flying ebony which provided locomotion for DeHart Hubbard, famed Negro athlete of the University of Michigan-pumped down a narrow aisle 100 yd. long. The watches had ticked 9 and 74/100 sec. Hubbard had previously won the running broad-jump with a leap of 25 ft. 3½ in. He scored 10 points, which surpassed the score of any other man, black or white, in the meet. With a pillar...
