...anyone who lived within a few hundred miles of Cambridge. Today it is the practice followed almost universally at schools and colleges throughout the country. In the West and Middle West Columbus day is not so much as given a passing thought and Patriot's day is an unheard of occasion. The long put forth myth that the University had to pay a fine or else. . . if they held college exercises on these days has been exploded with admission from University authorities themselves that it was merely a matter of custom to count the days as holidays. This blows...
FEARING that the American short story would be doomed if brilliant unheard of authors were denied the opportunity to have their stories published. Whit Burnett and Martha Foley, with encouragement from Edward J. O'Brien, undertook the un-remunerative task of publishing a new magazine, "Story," to contain almost exclusively stories which had been rejected because the authors were unknown, or which were refused because the style or material was considered unorthodox by editors in the leading magazines in the United States. This was a bold step since so many little magazines have started in the past decade, and have...
Turf folk at the Laurel, Md. track one day last week crowded into the paddock of a big, handsome bay stallion, nearly 17 hands high, with a high-poised head and well-spaced eyes-Winooka, fastest sprinter of Australasia. Winooka was unheard-of outside Australia until last year when, a four-year-old, he won eight of 13 starts, failed only once to finish in the money.

...This unheard of transposition of Chicago tactics to quiet Cambridge brought to light the fact that about a week ago Coach Eddie Casey was the victim of a similar disturbance. In Casey's case the bomb did not go off until the head coach, accompanied by his wife, was half way home on the road to Winthrop. Both Mr. and Mrs. Casey thought it expedient to vacate the car. After waiting half an hour Casey ventured to start the automobile, but Mrs. Casey would not consent to enter the vehicle until the coach had promised to drive slowly. The rest...
...ambulance waited ominously. Grinning, he muttered "Eh, Bien." Then he and another seasoned French pilot named Maurice Rossi kissed their weeping mechanics goodbye, kissed the astonished field manager, climbed into the Joseph LeBrix. No one at Floyd Bennett Field had ever seen such a takeoff. With the unheard-of load of 1,770 gal. of gasoline, the plane weighed nine tons. Cool-headed Pilot Codos held her to nearly the end of the mile-long runway, then eased her into a gentle climb-100 ft. altitude in about three miles. They were off into the east, to what destination even...
