Navy is no match for Princeton track (The Trenton Times)
Posted by TheRunning
The Princeton University men's indoor track and field team used its dominance in the field events to pull out a 96-85 victory over Navy yesterday.
The word "keystone" comes from architecture and refers to
the central, wedge-shaped stone in an arch, which holds all the other
stones in place. The application of the term “Keystone State” to
Pennsylvania cannot be traced to any single source. It was commonly
accepted soon after 1800.
At a Jefferson Republican victory rally in October 1802, Pennsylvania
was toasted as "the keystone in the federal union," and in
the newspaper Aurora the following year the state was referred to as "the
keystone in the democratic arch." The modern persistence of this
designation is justified in view of the key position of Pennsylvania
in the economic, social, and political development of the United States.
