...hazed, and any man who lived in South Mass that year will confirm the statement. I got up early in the morning and galloped over to the flagpole and back in pajamas or I got paddled. Wearing knickers or sweaters was unknown to a freshman then, and a soup green hat always balanced 'twixt his ears. I have never heard any '33 man regret those things. Best of all, we got to know our classmates by seeing them wear a fresh...
Feverish bustle, anxious conjecture filled Buckingham Palace on election day this week. Outside, London wallowed in a yellow pea-soup fog. Below stairs, Royal scullery, parlor and chamber maids made no secret of their voting intentions as they hustled into bonnet and wrap, groped in a body out the fogbound back gate. Two footmen, the Palace womenfolk considered, were the only possible waverers. They had expressed Socialist opinions at the height of a servants' ball last year, but not since.

The doctor's widow, Mrs. Ethel Mallinckrodt Dorrance, his brothers Dr. George Morris and Arthur C. (respectively chairman of the board and president...
There are richer men than was Dr. Dorrance; more valuable organizations than Campbell Soup Co. But few companies so big were ever completely owned by one man. Many an investment banker's mouth watered at the thought of selling such a fat goose to the public. None ever succeeded in talking business with Founder Dorrance (excepting Lehman Bros., which sold a few shares of preferred stock, later retired). In his will Dr. Dorrance admonished his executors not to sell Campbell Soup stock but if "after the greatest deliberation" a sale is ever found necessary, to sell...
