...fog that blanketed New York Harbor some 200 well-to-do Yale and Harvard men, with a sprinkling of Prince-tonians, sailed for Boston aboard the S. S.

Other scores: California 25, Nevada 6; Stanford 12, University of California Los Angeles, 6; Washington 77, Whitman...
...literature there is his Autobiography, and Poor Richard. There is also the Saturday Evening Post if you want it, but you don't. Franklin, however, made other contributions to American letters, contributions which the Vagabond is frank to admit he sees only through a glass darkly.
