• The oldest liberal arts college in America can be found in Oberlin, Ohio. Founded by two Presbyterian ministers, who also founded the town, Oberlin College opened in 1833. They named the institution after a minister whom they both admired. Oberlin was the first college to admit African-American students, men in 1835 and women in 1837. Annual tuition is about $71,500.

• In 1924, real estate mogul William Van Duzer Lawrence began efforts to found a junior college for women, focusing on arts and humanities. In 1928, Sarah Lawrence College, named for Williams’ wife, welcomed its first students to buildings built on part of Lawrence’s Yonkers, New York, estate on the banks of the Bronx River. The college has more than doubled its size since then, sitting on 44 wooded acres. Today, it is a co-educational college that uses the same approach to education as Oxford University, with a one-on-one student/faculty relationship. Students pursue degrees in writing, dance, theater, film, painting, economics, political science, philosophy, and a host of other areas. TV’s Barbara Walters graduated from there with a degree in English, and designer Vera Wang received a degree in art history. Full-time students can expect to pay about $72,500 per year to attend the school. • The primary campus of New York University is in Greenwich Village, with more than 100 buildings in Manhattan and several in Brooklyn. Founded in 1831, before long it became one of the nation’s largest universities. In 1917, its enrollment was more than 9,300. Today, that figure is nearing 26,500. NYU receives more applications than any other private college in the U.S., with 75,037 undergrad applications received for the 2018 term. The annual cost of NYU is about $72,000, with graduates’ average starting salary at $57,400. • You’ll need $70,000 a year to enroll at Pennsylvania’s Haverford College, an institution founded in 1833 by the Quakers. However, over 50% of students receive some type of financial aid from the college. It’s a small school, with its total enrollment below 300 for most of the 20th century. These days, enrollment is about 1,300. ...continued

• Harvey Mudd College, located in Claremont, California, has less than 900 students and a student/faculty ratio of 9:1. It’s been rated the top undergraduate Engineering College in the U.S. The school is named after mining engineer Harvey Mudd, a graduate of Stanford and Columbia, and former president of Cyprus Mines. Mudd was involved in establishing the college, but died before the school opened in 1957. The average starting salary for graduates is about $93,000. However, to get to graduation, annual tuition is close to $77,000. About 70% of new students are eligible for financial aid. • The University of Chicago has produced 97 Nobel Prize laureates and numerous billionaires. It was founded in 1890 with donations from the American Baptist Education Society and oil magnate John D. Rockefeller. The nearly $79,000 a year cost helps take care of their 16,000 students and another 16,000 administrative staff members. • It costs close to $70,000 a year to attend the Julliard School for the performing arts in New York City. The school has had some interesting locations since its 1905 founding. It started out in a former mansion on Fifth Avenue. The school moved five years later onto a property purchased from an insane asylum. In 1924, the school purchased the Vanderbilt family guesthouse for its graduate school. (That guesthouse now houses CBS Studio offices.) It’s not easy to get into Julliard with its 8% acceptance rate of applications for admission. You’ll recognize the names of a few of its attendees – William Hurt, Barry Manilow, Wynton Marsalis, and Itzhak Perlman. Child prodigy pianist Marvin Hamlisch was accepted into the school’s pre-college division at age six. • When the University of Southern California was founded in 1880, tuition was $15 per term. That’s a far cry from the close to $60,000 a student can expect these days. ...continued

• On Feb. 28, 1844, President John Tyler cruises the Potomac with 400 others aboard the U.S. Navy's new steam frigate USS Princeton. The Princeton carried a new 12-inch, 27,000-pound cannon called the Peacemaker. During a test firing, the cannon exploded, killing several aboard, including two members of Tyler's cabinet. • On March 3, 1875, the first indoor game of ice hockey is played in Quebec. Prior to the move indoors, ice hockey was a casual outdoor game, with no rules regarding the number of players per side. For the 1875 Montreal game, the ball was replaced with a wooden disc, now known as a puck. • On March 2, 1929, The Jones Act, the last gasp of the Prohibition, is passed by Congress. The act strengthened the federal penalties for bootlegging. • On Feb. 27, 1936, Shirley Temple receives a new contract from 20th Century Fox that will pay the 7-year-old star $50,000 per film, equal to $910,264.49 in today's dollars. The studio also altered her birth certificate, making it appear that she was a year younger. • On Feb. 26, 1949, from Carswell AFB in Texas, the Lucky Lady II, a B-50 Superfortress, takes off on the first nonstop round-the-world flight. The Lucky Lady II was refueled four times in the air and returned after 94 hours. • On Feb. 25, 1964, Cassius Clay shocks the odds-makers by dethroning world heavyweight boxing champ Sonny Liston in a seventh-round technical knockout. Later that year, Clay took the Muslim name of Muhammad Ali. • On March 1, 1971, a bomb explodes in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., destroying a bathroom and barber shop but injuring no one. A group calling itself the "Weather Underground" claimed credit for the bombing, done in protest of the ongoing U.S.-supported Laos invasion. © 2019 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

• It’s not an easy task to get into New York City’s Columbia University. Their acceptance rate is just 5.5%, one of the nation’s most selective colleges. Columbia is ranked the third best university in the United States behind Princeton and Harvard. Located in Upper Manhattan, the university was established in 1754, before the Revolutionary War. Three presidents, 10 Supreme Court justices, 96 Nobel Prize winners, 38 living billionaires, and 125 Pulitzer Prize winners are alumni of Columbia. Those planning to attend should expect to shell out over $74,000 a year. • Located in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, Bard College was founded in 1860 by the grandson of the founder of Columbia University’s medical school, who was also private physician to George Washington. The liberal arts college boasts that 98% of their classes have less than 25 students, a 10:1 ratio. It costs $72,400 a year for the privilege of attending this college.

• After training herself as a journalist, during the 1930s, Nancy worked for Hearst newspapers as a European correspondent. As Adolf Hitler continued to rise in power, she witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the Nazi gangs persecuting Jewish men and women in the streets. While working in Vienna and seeing the brutality, the seed was planted in her mind to make a difference. In her words, “…I would do anything to make things more difficult for their rotten party…My hatred of the Nazis was very, very deep.” • She married a wealthy French industrialist in 1939, and as the war raged in France with the German invasion, she became an ambulance driver. • In 1940, Nancy became part of the French Resistance as a courier. Her wealth and social standing were the perfect cover as she helped create an escape network for prisoners of war, officers, airmen, and refugees across the mountains into Spain, using money contributed by her husband Henri Fiocca. The Fiocca family chalet in the Alps served as a safe house during the journeys. • By the end of 1942, Nancy was the Gestapo’s most wanted person with a 5-million-franc reward offered for her capture. Having eluded the Gestapo scores of times, the German military called her “the white mouse.” Her phone had been tapped and all of her mail was intercepted.

• Shortly before D-Day, at age 31, Nancy parachuted into France to coordinate drops of weapons and ammunition in preparation. At one point, she had to rode a bicycle 250 miles in 72 hours to deliver a secret wireless code. • After the war ended, Nancy learned that, in 1943, shortly after her escape to England, her husband had been arrested, tortured, and executed by the Germans for refusing to betray her whereabouts, something for which she blamed herself for the remainder of her life. • She had saved the lives of hundreds of Allied soldiers and airmen and became the most decorated woman of World War II. She returned to London to work for the British Intelligence Department. In 1960, she married a former POW, and the couple moved to Australia, where she remained until 2001, where she resided until her death in 2011 at the age of 98.

DOG BISQUITS

There are some unusual observances in the world, and perhaps one of the strangest is Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day on February 23. It’s time for Tidbits readers to “bone” up on these facts about doggie treats! • Believe it or not, the history of dog biscuits dates back to the era of the Roman Empire. Dogs were given “bad bread,” that which was considered low quality and unfit for human consumption. Bread for dogs was called “parruna,” and was made from bran. This was the practice until the 1800s, when a dog food made of vegetables mixed with grain came onto the scene. • A Brit by the name of “Mr. Smith” sold dog-biscuit food in the area of Maidenhead in 1827. It consisted of oats, potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, and according to an 1828 publication, the factory was producing sales of five tons a week. • In 1860, an Ohio electrician traveled to London to sell his new invention, lightning rods. Upon landing in London, as James Spratt stood along the harbor, he observed several mongrel dogs eating discarded hardtack, the cheap, dry, tough biscuits that sailors ate while on long sea voyages. Spratt was inspired to develop a biscuit for dogs, before long he had patented his mixture of grains, beetroot, vegetables, and gelatinous beef parts and beef blood, and was marketing as “Spratt’s Meat Fibrine Dog Cakes.” • Others jumped on the bandwagon quickly, including Dr. A.C. Daniels’ Medicated Dog Bread, and in 1871, advertisements for Slater’s Meat Biscuit for Dogs bragged that this product contained “vegetable substances and 25% of prepared meat products.” They claimed that their biscuits would “give dogs endurance” and “keep them in fine working condition.” ...continued
