Empty treasuries and denominational rivalry have killed off all but 20 of these Ohio colleges. Of the survivors, educators often group six together because of their high academic standing in the liberal arts and sciences: Kenyon College (1824), Denison University (1832), Oberlin College (1833), Ohio Wesleyan University (1842), Antioch College (1853), and the College of Wooster (1866). Small and selective, the six produce a surprisingly large percentage of graduate students; e.g., 60% of Oberlin's male students take advanced work. Because of facts like these, no similar intrastate group of colleges and universities is more widely respected among...

Most Othellos make the mistake of getting enraged too soon; consequently as the play progresses they try to bellow and shriek ever more loudly until the limit of intelligibility has been left far behind. But Hyman is careful to adjust to the big time scale of this process, so that the proper prolonged Beethovenian crescendo results. For, contrary...
