Rutgers College, now Rutgers University, was a ring-leader in the inauguration of intercollegiate football. Back in 1875 or thereabouts she, with Yale and Princeton, arranged the first intercollegiate football schedule. She is also the home of that deathless hymn, "I'd Die for Dear Old Rutgers!"

Only a year ago his brother had died from loss of blood after cutting his hand. Two doctors decided to give the patient thromboplatin, a horse serum. Within 24 hours the wound had stopped bleeding...
