...even though war in the air is a subject that has not been worn out, there is much to the picture that recalls the "Big Parade" and "What Price Glory" too strongly to be effective. And unfortunately "Wings" outdoes either of the other two in the amount of slush that is thrown in. In "Wings" it is particularly out of place, because the genuine material of the picture is enough to make it exceptional, and the other element jars terribly by contrast...

Thus a lifetime of study and research on the part of a scholar may be wasted, as far as the present and future Harvard generations are concerned...
...this labour can be dissipated by the actions of what must be a very small minority of Harvard men. With out the cooperation, both in the spirit and the letter of the Library laws on the part of the students and if may be added, the professors no amount of effort on the part of Mr. Lane and his assistants will suffice to supply the leading matter for the Reading Period...
