...another year comes to another end, we are tempted, as an outgoing board on our final fling, to cull up all of our wise editorials (and conveniently forget about the others) and piece them together to show you what we have been talking about for a year. If we surrendered to this temptation, we would probably say something about the need for imagination (and realism) in foreign policy, boldness (and gradualism) in domestic policy, and House-ification (and money) in University policy.

Then he and his students began experimenting with feed, found that the blemished cull potatoes discarded by farmers could provide, when dried, 90% of a fat steer's diet...
...full flush of victory, Ohio's U.S. Senator-elect George H. Bender bubbled off a letter to Richard Cull, Dayton News political reporter: "Dear Dick - This is just a note to thank you for all you did in my behalf during the senatorial campaign. I valued the endorsement of the News, and feel sure that you had something to do with my obtaining it.
