...tradition, as that great gambling device, "the draw", is undertaken with not a little trepidation. More so since not among the first by quite a number of classes, ranks the lowly Senior of Harvard College. He will see the Dartmouth football game unless he foregoes fair company for the visual advantages of the cheering section, from a point of vantage notable mainly for its distance from the participants. And the mere fact that "the draw" will be reversed for the Pennsylvania game, and that he can gamble again for seats at the Yale game, with no more assurance of favor...

The costumes of the more important characters ranged from the operatic ridiculousness of the High...
...modern picture-printing processes - half tones, color plates, intaglio or "rotogravure." The author, in short, of the pictures of murderers and statesmen in the newspapers; of the sepia supplements and the ravishing hosiery advertisements; of the stunning magazine covers, richly illustrated natural histories, automobile catalogs and many more visual luxuries that are rushed today before the eyes of a sophisticated world. Frederick E. Ives was a Connecticut boy, who obtained a post at Cornell University in charge of photographic laboratory work. In 1879 he developed his first ideas for reproducing on a metal printing plate all the details, tone...
