...essay on "Two Forgotten New England Reformers" by Bertha-Monica Stearns is perhaps the most important and generally appealing part of this issue of the Quarterly. In the persons of Mrs. Mary Gove Nichols and Dr. T. L. Nichols, Miss Stearns has found a more attractive aspect of the reforming intellectuals in 19th century America, an aspect which books like Gilbert Seldes' "The Stammering Century" have tended to cover up.

But it in not these sights which arouse wonder; it is the fact that this Mussolini, whose powerful voice keeps coming back, a little hoarser...
...CRIMSON, the Freshman selecting his field of concentration cannot take too much trouble seeking advice not only from men well acquainted with the field, such as Senior concentrators, graduate students, and tutors, but from impartial judges as well. It is essential that he become familiar with every aspect of the field before he enters it, if he does not wish to regret his choice later on; that he enter it, moreover, with a purpose, and with enthusiasm is imperative...
