Their Register & Tribune has paid dividends for 30 years to its 60 stockholders, almost all of whom are active workers on the newspapers. And their riches would doubtless multiply. But the Brothers Cowles began to have other ideas three years ago when they decided to expand. Sharing their plans was Brother John's good Harvard friend Davis Merwin, who in Bloomington, Ill. was running his family's 99-year-old Pantograph, and running it well enough...

It must be out from banners and doubtless divorced from the deadly bookend, that its presence be a not too obvious prop of learning. As a substitute the Harvard arms is offered--the seal minus the circumferential lettering and the Christo et Ecclesiae, but the very shape itself must be altered from the round.
