Governor Blaine talked on Nov. 3, 1926. President Frank set a watch at the door of his mouth until Jan. 1927 when Governor Blaine was no longer Governor and was on his way to Florida, then he spoke words of learned length and thunderous sound. What element does that disclose in President Frank's character...
Printz, barking wildly, picked his way down a tortuous slope to the dead body. There he squatted, howled until a rescue party, guided by the sound, came. Baring his short sharp teeth, growling and snarling, he kept at bay for an hour these men who he supposed had come to harm his dead master. Hastily summoned, the valet of Count Széchényi at last soothed and called off Printz.

Feminine falsetto and masculine might of lung now join in a great volume of incoherent sound at the commands of gentlemen with flannel trousers and megaphones and the play wrights and the moving pictures consider the Rah-rah as the regular undergraduate greeting.

Anyone who has ever been present at an athletic contest between these rival universities will have readily observed the difference between the cheers...
With Justice McKinney dissenting, Justices Chambliss and Cook and Chief Justice Green decided that the anti-evolution statute was constitutionally sound. All four were unanimous that Teacher Scopes was not guilty, as declared by the jury at Dayton, since the trial judge (John T. Raulston) had been in error in fining Teacher Scopes $100 (only a jury can impose a fine greater than $50 in Tennessee and the Scopes jury fixed no fine) ; that the only way to correct this error was through a retrial; but that "all of us agree that nothing is to be gained by prolonging...
