...Editorial competition is restricted to Sophomores because it is felt that only these men who have been at Harvard over a year can successfully approach and write on subjects dealing with University, national, and international policies. All types of writing opportunities are open--Vagabonds, movie and play reviews, light or scholarly editorials, book reviews, and the like are among the variety of articles used in the second-page columns...
Incidentally, the Balloon Barrage is quite beautiful. We have had such incomparable weather since the war started that every day we can see these "silver fish" swimming into the clouds: because as the clouds approach -a thing you are not normally conscious of - these balloons appear to swim into them.

...just a backwoods politician with canny horse-sense and a flair for fence-sitting. None of the rampant idealism usually attributed to Lincoln colors the Sherwood-Massey characterization, and for that reason the play might be considered derogatory, but "unemotional" seems to be a better word to describe their approach. Well polished by a year's experience on Broadway, "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" is on its way to becoming an American classic...
