...Your president termed the law school--and justly, I have no doubt--the best in the country. I wonder, does he realize that such a school as Prof. Barker was engendering would make law schools superfluous? For you know, a good playwright is worth more than a good lawyer...
Krakovitch, for example, would know what to make of it. Yet these five athletes have been instrumental in establishing a record for invincibility that has become legendary.

Hackensack scored four points on fouls?the exact margin by which, when Referee Wallum blew his whistle, they found they had won. Fast, Weatherby, Bollerman, Green-leese, O'Shea were hoisted high on Hackensack heads, shoulders.* Krakovitch, Russel, Rohrback, Adams, Pashman were seen to weep as they...
