This week the gentlemen and ladies of Charleston, S. C. turned out to applaud their city's Footlight Players in the same Recruiting Officer, marking the opening of a splendid $350,000 resurrection of the old Dock Street Theatre, made possible by Charleston civic pride, plus FERA, plus WPA. A prettily conceited prologue written by DuBose Heyward, introduced the play...
...hoops round the necks of swans. Ordered next night to a command performance of the opera, he sees his dreamgirl, a shy debutante, take her mother's box for the first time.

The skates fitted Cecilia exactly...

At the same time we should rejoice that at Technology the possibility of the growth of a group of tutoring schools, whose business is lining up "snap" courses and "easy" professors, is absolutely nil, because the majority of students who come to the Institute do so in order to become engineers in certain definite fields, and not primarily to get a "broad education", which, unfortunately, is in so many cases a synonym for "getting a degree in the easiest possible manner."
