...story has as its background a Chicago electrotype foundry and its principal characters are those who are connected with that activity. There is scarcely any plot to the work but the reader is introduced to and made acquainted with the lives, ideas, hopes, and ambitions of the foundry workers in an intimate and personal way.

...lovel off the lot, and it will probably be about two weeks before the space will be properly graded and fenced, according to Aldrich Durant '02, Business Manager of the University. Two ramps are to be built across the sidewalk, and a wire fence is to enclose the plot. Durant also said that attendants will be on hand during the day-time, but no responsibility can be taken by the University for the safety of the cars or their contents...
