Anybody who feared that Cornell was another Virginia would change his mind after watching practice these last two days. In that space of time the Varsity has undergone more than three hours of the most brutal contact work seen (or heard) in this neighborhood for some time...
...over Mrs. Roosevelt's well-meaning efforts on behalf of the Negro. But F.D.R., who did more to impose federal authority on the states than any man since Lincoln, had known how to mollify Southern politicians.

If they couldn't of course, then city officials would be hazarding the lives and property of their citizens for the sake of the small change from parking meters. Snow removal in the winter requires streets to be clear. Yet the parking...
