...realized his ideal with the Harvard Glee Club. When the group asked him to be their "coach" in 1912, it was tied to the Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, with whom they performed "Mrs. Casey's Boarding House" and "The Bulldog on the Bank," reflecting the ribald good-fellowism and narrow exclusiveness of the time...
Even when he assigned final papers, Handlin found it difficult to determine the ideal approach. "If I let students choose their own topics, they often read intensively in a narrow area, tangential to the course; if I assigned the topic, attempting to pull the course together, it became too much like a final exam...
...narrow margins by which Amherst lost to Army and Princeton indicate the team's ability.

After dickering with the Treasury, Viking got permission last month to put its corn likker into Mason-jar fifths (retail price...
