Say! A DePauw Horned Toad Cornerstone Debate
Charles J. Arnold comments on a DePauw University student proposal to place a horned toad in the corner stone of the new recitation building at Green Castle. He jokes that if DePauw has such teachers a professor should be in the corner and the toad on the faculty. The column notes a traffic incident near an Interurban crossing injuring no one seriously and recalls DePauw’s defeat by Purdue, criticizing an official’s muffed call. It also mentions tonight’s banquet for Henry Ford in honor of Thomas Edison with a world wide broadcast.
