Football and Shopping - Roycroft Campus has it all.

The day after Thanksgiving represents watching those college football games on TV and shopping till you drop. So here is a little football and a little shopping:

In 1893 Elbert Hubbard went to Harvard for a short time. Here is an excerpt of a letter he wrote to his son during that time:

My Dear Bertie:

The Dartmouth football team played the Harvards yesterday and the Harvards won - 16 to 0. Both sides did a lot of slugging and the umpire sent two men from the field for butting other fellows in the bread basket. It was an awful rough game though - lots of men hurt at it.

This above excerpt is from the book As Bees in Honey Drown by Charles Hamilton. This very interesting book -  about the love, lives and letters between Alice and Elbert Hubbard  - would make a good holiday gift.
