...soldier who hunted up his old outfit, the 15th Infantry, in which he served as a lieutenant colonel at Fort Lewis, Wash, more than twelve years ago.

Bucher. poised on the rail of the small ship bobbing in the rough water, was aiming to become the first man ever to "skin-dive" (i.e., without...
...students' pocket-books is disgraceful. Just because the HAA has a good thing in the Yale game, that is no reason why they should take advantage of student loyalty. Let them make up their deficit some other way. Who wants to deal with such a morally corrupt outfit? Let Mr. Lunden beware of arrogance in these days of plenty: next year he may want to sell tickets for the Harvard Ohio University game. Mark Jacob...
