Worthless? Because no cheap method has yet been devised for extracting oil from the tough dark shale of Colorado, geologists estimate the production cost of such oil at $3 per barrel, as compared with current petroleum prices of $1 per barrel. Oil companies with foresight, however, have bought up Colorado shale land from original prospectors on the theory that eventually a cheap extraction process will be found. Denver records show the following holdings: Standard Oil of New Jersey, 20,000 acres; Union of California, 18,000; Continental, 10,000; Texas, 10,000; Prairie, 7,000; Deep Rock, 4,000; Pure...

Contrary to most current financial wisdom, however, were Dr. Dorrance's instructions to his executors. Urging his estate not to sell Campbell Soup stock, he asked that if "after the greatest deliberation" a sale is ever found necessary, all the stock be sold in one block...
...unsatisfactory. Many of the present charges for the use of athletic facilities are not equitable, but the revision of this situation requires considerable investigation before any change for the better can be made. At present the CRIMSON is engaged in an attempt to devise a plan to correct the current abuses, but it will require considerable time before any revision which takes into consideration the newest developments can be devised. The fact that Yale is making an effort in this direction, however, indicates that the difficulty of over-emphasis and money in athletics is demanding serious and much needed attention...
