U of I a Leading Example of State School Movement
The University of Illinois stands as a vigorous example of a state university, founded in 1867 from land grant ideas proposed by Jonathan B. Turner in 1852. It grew from 50 students and three faculty to over 11,000 students with wide-ranging colleges and state research agencies, supported by legislative backing.

Harpooned a 95-Foot Whale After Eight Hours of Struggle
Julius Rose recounts the dangerous pursuit as his crew battles a giant whale. The boat fills with water while men haul at the line and cabin boy crawls the rope to reach safety. Mate John da Lomba doubles the danger by delivering a second harpoon as the whale thrashes, finally ending after hours of ordeal.
