A person from New York State, whom I will call Crofut, who was a frequent visitor at my store, was equally noted for his self-will and his really terrible profanity.
And the Alumni Movement has arisen to meet the need for "greater unity of organization in alumni bodies." In an article on Graduate Councils, in the Wellesley College News for April, 1914, Florence S.
