Calstuff Trivia Question
More of a Scavenger Hunt then a Trivia Question, but here goes. We all know who Clinton Miller is. He's immortal! But what you might not know is what a striking young man he was. So the first person to find his portrait in the 1898 Blue and Gold and tell me whose portrait is to his immediate left wins a Big Calstuff Favor! UPDATE: Here's something that just occured to me. The standard version of the Axe story goes as follows: When they reached the ferry they found a number of Stanford men accompanied by several policemen, waiting for them. They stopped to consult. When almost at their wit's ends, a young lady friend of Miller's passed the group. With a sudden inspiration, he said good-bye to the others, walked up to the young lady, and passed through the ferry gate with her without being questioned. The others kept the policemen busy talking, finally making an unwilling admission that the ax was in Golden Gate Park.Great story! But who is the lady friend? She played a big role in the salvation of the Axe, and yet her name has been apparently lost in history, described as 'a Berkeley co-ed' or 'woman aquaintance.' Damn this malecentric society! Anyone who tells me her name (and biography, hopefully) gets another Calstuff favor.Email This Post! |
