"The Hero. — Every book must have a description of its hero — so therefore this [yearbook] must have one. He is nice and big and comfortable. Not a bit 'bony.' I call him homely but my mother doesn't think that's nice. But he knows I love him when I tell him he's homely. He doesn't call up very much; consequently he doesn't know when you're ill; probably it's just as [well]." From the University of Minnesota's 1921 yearbook.
