...exclusive of freight, the chief value of the new beds lies in the fact that they are in the immediate vicinity of the coal burning Canadian paper mills, the largest of which, the Kapuskasing, burns 500 tons of coal daily. With coal mines within sound of their buzz saws, Abitibi pulpmakers saw a chance to make newsprint still more cheaply for U. S. newspapers. Lignite, or "wood-coal," is geologically half way between turflike peat and smudgy bituminous coal. It is hard, looks like dirty brown slate, burns without smoke, is clean to handle. Mined...
...Sept. 12, 1814, British frigates besieged Fort McHenry, defender of Baltimore. Enraptured U. S. Citizen Francis Scott Key, a prisoner aboard a British ship, scribbled hastily: "Oh! say, can you see. . . ." Last week, citizens again saw the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, as fireworks went off and Baltimore in bunting celebrated the 115th anniversary of siege and anthem, also the 200th anniversary of Baltimore's city charter.

Coach French has much to live up to if one considers the record amassed by former Freshman coach E. L. Casey '19, who saw his eleven defeated but once in his three years as mentor and that in the fall of 1926, the first game the Freshmen played with Andover when they lost 6 to 0. But French has already behind him an experience that alone should insure his success, a character that made him known as one of the finest football captains, and the system through which he came to greatest prominnce under Coach Arnold Horween...
...thumb was giving way to instruments of precision and the intelligence to handle them. The majority of college graduates, even without any specialized education, were seeking business careers, where only a generation ago they were entering the older professions. There was dawning for business--and those who stood highest saw it--the day of systematized teaching of business principles and practice, just as earlier the same experience had come to accounting, the first business profession, to engineers, lawyers, doctors and clergymen. And if knowledge is to be systematized and taught, it must be made open and accessible. This logical corollary...
