...brook with pools, and tiny waterfalls over the great roots of trees . . . Beyond the lake is Monument Mountain, looking like a headless sphinx wrapped in a Persian shawl, when clad in the rich and diversified autumnal foliage of its woods." To the lush beauty of nature, Tanglewood added the spare beauty of modern architecture in 1938 with the 6,037-capacity Music Shed.

Then, with a wild whoop of joy, he hippety-hopped up to the royal box, where Princess Marina, the Duchess of Kent, handed him the silver trophy that goes to the winner of the All-England tennis championships - the world's most important tennis tournament...

Montana is the nation's fourth biggest state in size, but it has so few people (five per square mile) that its population could slip into Dallas with room to spare. Yet it supports six campuses: Montana State University at Missoula, Montana State College at Bozeman, a school of mines at Butte, teachers' colleges at Dillon, Havre and Billings.
