...chairman, is a powerful politician with lots of friends. He is also in hot water, is scheduled to go on trial shortly in Scranton (with six other men) for conspiring to defraud the U.S. Government with some monkey business involving the construction of an Army Signal Corps Depot in Tobyhanna, Pa.

There can likewise be no doubt of the fact that the members of the Batteries under command of Colonel Danford in New Haven and in Tobyhanna last summer did their work so creditably that the history of the organization and of the way Yale responded to the President's call, will long be remembered as a glowing chapter of Yale history...
