Their report made last night showed that there were five accounts outstanding. The largest of these $1,435.85, has been owed to the Andover Press since 1926 for printing on the Harvard University Register for 1925-26. Originally this sum was smaller but has been raised to its present size by interest due on the first cost of printing...
...next largest sum was $461.63, which has been owed to the Washington Press for the University Register published last year.

Displaying paintings to serried rows of gentlemen with beards and pince-nez, soliciting their cash, seemed more than ever...
...federal judge would doubt it, he is going to absurd lengths to put the idea over. Anyone who can shed new light on athletics has little need for fifty proven strong men to help him. He should be writing for the newspapers. Single handed he could command a larger sum for a single Sunday appearance than his whole stage full of helpers will attract in a winter. The daily Sartores Resarti of the sport situation support unnumbered experts; a new phase of athletics would be a wow even though as untailored as any Vanities that ever trod a board...
