Fragmented notes recount a 19th century claim about a Ne shaminy Pennsylvania school founded by Rev William Jerrent as the first literary institution above common schools. It mentions a golden-eyed lace-winged fly, dietetics through Hippocrates and Maimonides, Finland’s lack of college athletics, and basil from India now grown in England.
Puzzle corner item shows a cryptic cross clue fragment. Across entry likely incomplete reading URE RO with stray letters. Readers guess fits: URE RO.
A fragmentary note highlights Tanganyika in British East Africa as a wildlife paradise with extinct craters, including about 125 in the Gorila country near Kilimanjaro, Ngoro Ngoro ringed by cliffs and teeming with life. It also mentions early Florida entry by Escalente de Fontenads and a cursory glimpse of the liberal arts in medieval curricula.
